Her Best Friend Is Dating A Rich Guy Nearly Twice Their Age, And It Makes Her Uneasy To Hang Out With Him
This 28-year-old woman has a friend the same age as her who is dating a guy nearly twice their age.
Her friend’s boyfriend is 55, making the age gap a shocking 27 years. This man is definitely rich and obviously established in his life.
She tries not to be judgemental of her friend for deciding to be in this relationship, but this man is clearly only with her friend because she’s pretty and youthful.
“She lives in his home and he takes her to nice restaurants and buys her designer clothes…mutually beneficial type vibes,” she explained.
“I’ve never outright judged her for this, and don’t care about their relationship as long as she’s content with it. This isn’t the first time her boyfriend has been with an attractive, significantly younger woman.”
Also, her friend’s boyfriend made her friend sign some kind of agreement before moving in with him, which she also thinks is odd.
Any time that she is with her friend, her friend’s boyfriend randomly shows up. On one occasion, her friend invited her and a few other girls to hang out at her home, and her friend’s boyfriend was surprisingly there.
He was the only guy, and since they’re also far younger than he is, it seemed strange to her. Other times, she and her friend will go grab drinks, and her friend will invite her boyfriend along to meet up with them later on in the evening.
She can never just hang out with her friend alone; her friend’s boyfriend always has to make some kind of appearance.

“He will usually pay for things. I have my own boyfriend who takes me out, and I’m very financially responsible and can pay for myself,” she said.
“I don’t want to be involved in this strange transactional-feeling relationship, and I have nothing in common with a man almost 30 years older than me.”
“I hate planning something with her/other girlfriends under the pretense it’s a girl’s night for him to pop up. My boyfriend also feels uncomfortable that another older man is paying for things for me, which I completely understand.”
Recently, her friend sent her a text stating that her boyfriend wants to take the two of them alone to an event he’s happy to pay for.
Her own boyfriend was excluded from the invitation, which makes her feel icky. While she wishes she could be honest with her friend that her rich older boyfriend makes her uneasy to hang out with, she doesn’t want to hurt her friend’s feelings.
She also doesn’t want to give her friend a made-up reason as to why she can’t attend the event, as that hardly solves the problem.
She’s left wondering how to handle this sticky situation, as she doesn’t want to ruin her friendship either.
“I want to limit my boundaries to hanging out with her and not being paid for by her boyfriend or spending time with her boyfriend because it makes me uncomfortable,” she added.
“It’s her business that she’s dating someone older who wants to be with an attractive younger woman.”
