From Struggle to Luxury: What It’s Really Like Loving Someone Who Hit the Jackpot Overnight
I eventually told him I wanted to live separately because he was causing more difficulties managing a home together than being apart and I could afford covering a place by myself. He said if I moved out then we were over. So I moved out and our 10+ year relationship ended.
I really appreciate that having the money meant I didn’t have to put up with a relationship that was hurting me for so long and we weren’t stuck living together until I could get money together to move out/furnish a new place. Even if it kind of felt like getting to that place was what ruined the relationship (I know it wasn’t actually what did it).
