6 Disadvantages of Dating a Rich Guy
4. He may look down upon you
He may look down upon your tastes or choices. You’d pick up a dress from a local store, and he wouldn’t like it because it’s not from a designer. He would also expect you to be elite in just about everything in life, from your eating tastes to your preferences in décor. And most of the times, he’d either be imposing his views on you, or not take your opinions seriously, because he’d feel you don’t have the ‘taste’ for elite and classy things in life.
5. You’ll unnecessarily feel indebted
Somewhere, with all those gifts and luxuries, you’d feel really indebted. You’ll feel guilty for not putting in your share of the money on meals and shopping trips. And before you know it, your conscience will make you more submissive by default, where you wouldn’t argue with him on anything or wouldn’t dare to oppose his opinions. All this, because somewhere, you’d feel really dependent on him.
6. The riches may cost you your personal freedom and choices
When your tastes are looked down upon, when your opinions are not respected, and when you, in general, are expected to follow his instructions and choices, then your own individual identity starts to suffer. Your personal choices take a backseat, and your freedom gets curbed, making you feel caged. That can make you feel really claustrophobic, and you’d keep facing the struggle for the longest time till it reaches a saturation point, followed by an ugly outburst.
Yes, undeniably, the comforts are infinite when you are dating a rich man. Your financial stability issues also get sorted. But it takes a lot to maintain your individual identity and still date a rich man. If you can manage to achieve the right balance, then it’s great. Otherwise, it’d be too bad to lose yourself and your true spirit for someone only because he has money. At the end of the day, luxuries can come and go, but the comfort of being with someone affectionate, who genuinely cares for you, is the best feeling in the world.
