My Expensive Bottle Exposed His Greed
After my boyfriend, Mitchell Cooper, finds out that I've spent 300 thousand dollars on a mug, he demands that I buy his mother a single-level apartment that's worth eight million dollars in the heart of the city.
Naturally, I turn his ridiculous demand down in a roundabout way. But this sets him off instead.
"Don't be so stingy! My mom will become your mom in the future! What's wrong with showering her with gifts in advance?"
Afterward, he records all our expenses that have taken place during our relationship on presentation slides and tells me that we have to split them up.
"If you think splitting up our expenses is a troublesome thing to do, then you might as well imburse all of them. You're the rich one, after all.
"I've already discussed everything with my family. We'll only give you one dollar as a form of wedding gift. It means 'the only one,' which sounds amazing, right?"
Upon noticing my lack of response, Mitchell issues the ultimatum right away.
"If you refuse to accept these conditions, then we can call off the wedding. You've already dated me for so many years. I'd like to see if anyone wants a second-hand woman like you."
I stare at the long list of expenses that need to be split. I even catch sight of the two-dollar Uber fees that were charged when Mitchell came to look for me in the past.
With a smile on my face, I reply, "Okay, then. I don't want a single cent from you in terms of wedding gifts. I'll buy your mom that apartment right now."
