Man Who Works 2 Jobs to Pay Rent Finds Out His Girlfriend of 10 Years Is a Millionaire

When a man's girlfriend left their house to meet her aunt in another town, he learned a shocking truth about her financial situation that changed his thoughts about her. It happened when he saw her laptop on her desk and got curious.

A man with the username "throwaway_for_adv" wrote a detailed post in Reddit's "relationship_advice" forum to ask people what they thought about a specific situation in his life. Before jumping to the main story, the man shared details about his girlfriend.

He met her more than a decade ago in high school. He recalled seeing her at school after she moved into his town and instantly thought of becoming friends with the new girl.

However, they didn't become friends until some time after one of his friends shared a "rumor" that her mother had passed away. They soon began talking and became good friends before they started dating each other a year later.

The man shared that he had never thought his girlfriend was rich. He grew up believing she lived with her aunt in a small house, but what he saw on her laptop made him think she was hiding something from him.

What Did the Man See on His Girlfriend's Laptop?

The man and his girlfriend were in their mid-twenties when he learned something unexpected about her. They had moved in together in an apartment and lived a good life until the pandemic wreaked havoc worldwide.

His girlfriend was one of the many people who lost their jobs after COVID-19 hit. As a result, he started working another job besides his regular one, hoping it would help them make ends meet until the girl found another job.

The man always thought his girlfriend only had one source of income, unaware that he would stumble across a secret on her laptop. It happened when she left home to visit her aunt, who lived in the state where they went to high school.

"After she left, I was putting things away and fixing stuff up when I found her laptop on her desk slightly open," the man recounted in his Reddit post. He said he had never felt curious in such situations, but this time, he felt compelled to check her laptop and see what she had been doing.

Upon scouring her laptop, the man saw an email from a lawyer. Curious, he opened it and learned about the girl's family business. The email stated something about her share in it.

Since the man did not know his girlfriend's family, he grew curious and skimmed through her emails. At that point, he realized his girlfriend had never told him that her father had been sending money to her bank account for the past six years. The emails made him believe her father owned clothing stores in New York, which gave him huge profits.

The man was shocked when he learned that his girlfriend had millions of dollars, yet she did not stop him from working two jobs. He thought that was unfair but wasn't sure if he should confront her.

How Did People React to His Story?

When he asked other Redditors if he should confront her, they posted questions regarding his relationship with his girlfriend. One user asked, "Does anyone else find it odd that they've been together for 10 years since they were 15/16ish, and op had no idea about her family?"

"Even aunt is in quotes? Like he never even met the one relative she lived with when they started dating in high school? Never talked about those rumors about her dead mom or her family at all? And he never found that odd," another Redditor questioned in the comments section.

In response to the queries, the man edited his post and shared that his girlfriend never talked about her father. She only told him that her mother had passed away, and the man thought she did not like talking about her family.

The man also shared that he had never met her aunt because he never visited her house when they were in high school. However, upon reading his girlfriend's emails, the man realized she never had an aunt, which made him use quotation marks while mentioning her in his post.

"Apparently, from what I've found, it seems like her father had her come live with a family friend soon after her mom died," the man shared while trying to explain that his girlfriend might not have a good relationship with her father.

Do you think the man should confront his girlfriend and tell her he read her emails behind her back? Why did the woman hide those emails from her boyfriend? We would love to hear your thoughts about this story.
