Taurus always ask me about my business and how it’s Doing financially. He also wanted to see where I grew up and meet my mom. Tells me about his divorce and how he had to give away millions and houses. Says it’s fine because he got piece of mind. Tells me about his businesses and houses often, somewhat of a bragger. Ask what I would do if I got pregnant. If he would be the first I called. Tells me I need to call him when in need or trouble.

I’m much younger than him. I’m doing exactly what he’s doing when he was 33, working very hard and a lot. I barley socialize anymore.

I don’t know if he believes that though. That I work hard.

This is my take tell me if I’m on to something.

I feel like he thinks I’ll take him for everything if we dated or got serious. I think he’s sizing me up to see if I’m a liability and out for his money. The pregnant thing, he thinks I’ll trap him. But I’ve stated to him twice I don’t want kids, I’m not lying. I never have. I’m not saying my mind can’t change on that but that’s been my consistent stance on that since I was a kid, like I decided that very early on, I’ve never wavered. But my take is he doesn’t want another woman to come up off him. His ex wife didn’t work she just got an allowance and he said she didn’t listen to him so they divorced. He’s strict and very particular about a lot of things and she wasn’t adhering to it, so he ended it. He says he doesn’t date often because he has to much to lose.

I genuinely like and am attracted to him. I’m not in it it for his money persay but we both work in the same industry and both are really ambitious people. I want the same things he wanted at 33 and hope to be as successful as him one day. But I’m not trying to take him to the cleaners, but I don’t like nor am I attracted to bums and no ambition. All the men id consider have to be bosses. I have Cap mars and midheaven and I’m an 8 life path, it’s what I’m attracted to.

He seems to let his guard down more everyday and tell me more and more. Am I onto something? Does he think I’m a pyt good digger? Ive never asked him for anything but he has given me a few things. I plan on getting him a little gift if I do go visit him in a a few weeks.

I’m so attracted to him and he’s seems to be as well, he stares at me so intently the whole time we’re together, notices every little thing I do, and hugs/holds me so tight and kisses me so passionately.

I think his guard is up though. Could be like me? Or am I imagining things? What would bring his guard down? We’ve known each other a year now. He claims he decided on me the first day we met. But things take time, he doesn’t rush anything (Taurus personified).

Yeah his guard is up. But that’s has nothing to do with you specifically. It’s cause his failed marriage and divorce got him fucked up in the head.

Just be careful not to let him work out his issues on you.

And also it would personally give me pause to hear from his own lips that he divorced his ex wife cause she wouldn’t listen to him. Sounds like pretty abusive behavior. Does he want a partner or a yes man?

The stuff he mentioned seemed minor.

In reality if someone is taking care of you, you do have to work within certain parameters, since you’re dependent on them. That’s with any dynamic.

WTF

Lmaoo spit it out

Elaborate sis

Nah you elaborate sis, we need to know what he means?

To me, that sounds controlling as heck.

One situation was she was buying things for “friends” at a alarming/expensive rate and he happened to get the credit card bill this particular month because he forgot to pay it although she usually does. He said she sent it to another address he didn’t recognize, He told her to stop. Fast forward a couple of months maybe years she’s doing it again. I’m sure there was other things but this seemed to piss him off because he told the story 2 times to me. Also something about her getting mixed up with Africans at church and giving them money too. It all surrounds money.

Her complaint for him according to him was that he worked to much. 16 hour days for 6 or 7 days a week. He’s technically retired now from a traditional job.

Whats her sign?

Gosh I wish I knew. I wanted to ask so bad but didn’t want to sound like a creep asking for her zodiac sign Lmaoo

I’ll get that info one day. What I do know is that he claims he doesn’t like to date to young because young women have ulterior motives. He only hires older women as housekeepers or men. First time we met (professionally) he said he didn’t want to be alone with me.

I dated a Taurus briefly, that keeps in contact with me. He had similar stories- wanted to know my financial business when he was a bum and pretending he was a major icon in the tech business, but how this and that stock fell out from under him and he's starting over.

All I heard was lies and he was broke- But he wanted know all about my jobs and financial assets.

He seemed like a gold digger to me, so I passed. I also secretly don't like guys that wear leather jackets- Ewww.

Well, let's break that down. What "ulterior motives" could young women have that older women and men would not have? And why would that matter unless he can't keep his pecker out of the hired help?

Based on the stories he told me, I’m thinking along the lines of blackmail. In his native country there’s a lot of corruption. However he didn’t elaborate and I didn’t ask him to so I’m just assuming.

Dude made up a story about how he had to sell his house cause he got a divorce and "take care" of his mom to help her out financially.

No research was needed on my part- He lived with his mom

I've never had a dude outright ask me how much money I make a month- TAKE HOME, AT THAT!! and how much I paid for my car. It was disgusting and I didn't like it at all. Made me cringe.

I am solely responding not to give you shit, but because I'd like to actually help you in this.

What is his current financial situation? Because in your initial post, I can't tell if he use to have millions and houses, but decided to give it away for piece of mind, leaving him not poor, but middle class. Or does he still have quite a bit of equity, and lost some of his fortune?

I ask this, because based on that information, I can make a more rationalized thought on why he seemingly is so interested in asking you about your current finances. Something about him asking you all of those questions, with him being 50, and you being early 30's is throwing off some red flags for me that I don't really like. But I am not sure what that is.

He’s given me money on several occasions so I don’t think he’s a gold digger. He also owns several properties. And businesses.

He still owns several properties and businesses. He’s in the middle of a big project now. I’ve seen 3 of his properties in person and have been inside. I don’t doubt any part of that because it’s been verified. I’m a skilled detective when I need to be.

A few years ago my friend got mixed up with this Gemini from bumfuck, during the inception of their relationship we weren’t talking so I couldn’t suggest it then but he started wilding out and she ended in trouble with the law behind him. I looked him up and low and behold this dude had a rap sheet a mile long. She was in and out of court for a year. She’s also quite the detective but got blinded by the “love” and didn’t do her normal one/two.

All the stuff he has shared with you is good in the sense that he seems very interested. The bad news is that you mentioned a bunch of red flags that make me worry. I just mentioned that one because others were already concerned about the ex-wife. It's concerning to me; not necessarily dead in the water, but concerning.

Okay, good. That clarifies more for me. Glad you research. I think more people should do so.

So, it sounds like he is probably asking you the financial questions because he probably understands where his previous marriage failed. It isn't that it was because it was traditional, but likely because his ex-wife suffered from "idle hands".

I will give you a personal story in regards to my step father (I call him my dad). His previous marriage was much like what the Taurus you are currently dating had as well. Ex-wife, that seemingly stayed at home and spent frivolously. I think that comes down to boredom, and nothing to do. Much like your Taurus, he ended up giving her half the equity of his assets to get peace of mind as well. After that marriage failed, he married my own mom, who for all intents and purposes is the polar opposite of that, and ambitious. Yet, she is still traditional in a sense that she converted to his religion to marry him, and is still very center focused on traditional aspects of marriage. She just also strongly believes that she should contribute her own financial strength.

So it sounds like your Taurus is potentially acting in the same fashion as my step father. In that he now recognizes what he doesn't want in a partner, and needs someone that doesn't suffer from idle hand. And more than likely, likes that you are traditional in aspects that I know you seem to gear towards, but still want your own financial freedom. He is more than likely, just testing to make sure that what he hears also aligns with what he sees.

I think given time, this relationship could be very fruitful for you. It will be an easy one, that will build slowly, but overtime as long as there is no rush on either side. I have found most Taurus men to actually know how to be financially stable and able to save money, but in an almost discreet type of way. They have more money then they let on, and sometimes appear to be broke when they aren't.

What is his current financial situation? Because in your initial post, I can't tell if he use to have millions and houses, but decided to give it away for piece of mind, leaving him not poor, but middle class. Or does he still have quite a bit of equity, and lost some of his fortune?

I ask this, because based on that information, I can make a more rationalized thought on why he seemingly is so interested in asking you about your current finances. Something about him asking you all of those questions, with him being 50, and you being early 30's is throwing off some red flags for me that I don't really like. But I am not sure what that is.

He still owns several properties and businesses. He’s in the middle of a big project now. I’ve seen 3 of his properties in person and have been inside. I don’t doubt any part of that because it’s been verified. I’m a skilled detective when I need to be.

A few years ago my friend got mixed up with this Gemini from bumfuck, during the inception of their relationship we weren’t talking so I couldn’t suggest it then but he started wilding out and she ended in trouble with the law behind him. I looked him up and low and behold this dude had a rap sheet a mile long. She was in and out of court for a year. She’s also quite the detective but got blinded by the “love” and didn’t do her normal one/two.

Okay, good. That clarifies more for me. Glad you research. I think more people should do so.

So, it sounds like he is probably asking you the financial questions because he probably understands where his previous marriage failed. It isn't that it was because it was traditional, but likely because his ex-wife suffered from "idle hands".

I will give you a personal story in regards to my step father (I call him my dad). His previous marriage was much like what the Taurus you are currently dating had as well. Ex-wife, that seemingly stayed at home and spent frivolously. I think that comes down to boredom, and nothing to do. Much like your Taurus, he ended up giving her half the equity of his assets to get peace of mind as well. After that marriage failed, he married my own mom, who for all intents and purposes is the polar opposite of that, and ambitious. Yet, she is still traditional in a sense that she converted to his religion to marry him, and is still very center focused on traditional aspects of marriage. She just also strongly believes that she should contribute her own financial strength.

So it sounds like your Taurus is potentially acting in the same fashion as my step father. In that he now recognizes what he doesn't want in a partner, and needs someone that doesn't suffer from idle hand. And more than likely, likes that you are traditional in aspects that I know you seem to gear towards, but still want your own financial freedom. He is more than likely, just testing to make sure that what he hears also aligns with what he sees.

I think given time, this relationship could be very fruitful for you. It will be an easy one, that will build slowly, but overtime as long as there is no rush on either side. I have found most Taurus men to actually know how to be financially stable and able to save money, but in an almost discreet type of way. They have more money then they let on, and sometimes appear to be broke when they aren't.

Thanks Nikki

He dresses very modest when out in his neighborhood. You would never know he’s a millionaire unless he tells you. However the first time we met professionally he did somewhat brag and tell me lol.

Girl idk about easy, though. This guy is anything but easy but I’m not easy either so, I’m ok thus far with that. He definitely has that stubborn Taurus streak. I messed up with him a few weeks ago, kept him waiting I was so busy at work and then when I got In I took a nap an didn’t tell him What was going on, we were supposed to meet at 7:30. I’m not even gonna tell you what time I actually got ready but it was well after 7:30. I got up from my nap got dressed and ready to walk out the door and he gave me an earful and cancelled our date. I didn’t get why he was soooo mad and then I told me friend and she checked me. I apologized and he accepted right away and called me. I thought since it was work related he would understand, nah he didn’t care.

"His ex wife didn’t work she just got an allowance and he said she didn’t listen to him so they divorced. He’s strict and very particular about a lot of things and she wasn’t adhering to it, so he ended it."

Image Not Found

WTF

Lmaoo spit it out

Elaborate sis

Nah you elaborate sis, we need to know what he means?

To me, that sounds controlling as heck.

One situation was she was buying things for “friends” at a alarming/expensive rate and he happened to get the credit card bill this particular month because he forgot to pay it although she usually does. He said she sent it to another address he didn’t recognize, He told her to stop. Fast forward a couple of months maybe years she’s doing it again. I’m sure there was other things but this seemed to piss him off because he told the story 2 times to me. Also something about her getting mixed up with Africans at church and giving them money too. It all surrounds money.

Her complaint for him according to him was that he worked to much. 16 hour days for 6 or 7 days a week. He’s technically retired now from a traditional job.

How old is he?

Whats her sign?

Gosh I wish I knew. I wanted to ask so bad but didn’t want to sound like a creep asking for her zodiac sign Lmaoo

I’ll get that info one day. What I do know is that he claims he doesn’t like to date to young because young women have ulterior motives. He only hires older women as housekeepers or men. First time we met (professionally) he said he didn’t want to be alone with me.

I understand the not dating younger thing, but why does he not hire younger housekeepers? Does he end up having sex with the housekeepers too?

Maybe shit I would never know

But he said it’s because young women have ulterior motives and he’s not getting caught up. He used to be in law enforcement and told

Me a few stories. I take everything at face value. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well, let's break that down. What "ulterior motives" could young women have that older women and men would not have? And why would that matter unless he can't keep his pecker out of the hired help?

Based on the stories he told me, I’m thinking along the lines of blackmail. In his native country there’s a lot of corruption. However he didn’t elaborate and I didn’t ask him to so I’m just assuming.

Oh please don't tell me this guy is Nigerian

NO. He’s not African nor African American. But he’s black.

I agree with all the DXP ladies. He's a broke ho trying to get you to knock him up so he gets all your stuff.

Classic ho game

Lmaooo

All the ladies did not say that.

But I’m barley two years into what I’m doing. I ain’t got it to give and I don’t take care of men. The thought dries me up.

I was only joking. I say Nikki nailed it with her last post.

If I were you I wouldn't put much weight on his ex. To earn money we trade time from our lives. That's literally what earning money is. IMO he should have divorced her she sounds entitled and disrespectful. Unless he forced her to be a stay at home wife, which I highly doubt, she just felt like a little princess who got too big for her britches. As Nikki said "idle hands" they're the devil, she could have gotten a job and donated that money to whenever she wanted, but she didn't, she spent his money that he spent time from his life earning, when he specifically stated he didn't agree with how it was being spent.

As for the not wanting to be alone with a woman: that's actually pretty common. With the amount of false sexual assault accusations flying around nowadays, you're damn right you either remove yourself from a potentially bad situation or have a witness with you.

I really don’t care about the ex, was just giving background information to support my theory. Theory being he’s really protective of his money now because of what he went through. I also don’t blame him on wanting to not be alone with women given the current climate.

He's strict...

He's particular..

He gave her allowance...

His ex didn't listen to him so he cut her loose...

He's almost 20 years older...

Controlla...controlla...yea

Run don't walk to nearest exit. He sounds like he wants to be a daddy figure...that doesn't mix well in romance...

.


I can’t just yet. I’m too curious, attracted and intrigued.

Honestly, the only weird thing that stuck out to me is why did he ask if you became pregnant would he be the first one you tell?

That just seems odd to me, harmless but odd.

We were making out and then talking he says what if you get pregnant? I said by whooo? You?? He said yes. Then we discussed what would happen if I got pregnant. He’s was most likely in the moment thinking about is having raw sex.

And I get that you dont care about the ex, everyone has a past.

I think your gut is right with him. He's built up walls to deal with current situations. Probably some are new walls and might be why some of the awkward questions. He just hasn't had time to iron out the delivery of his new wall questionnaire lol, it'll get better over time.
click to expand



He’s asked me so many questions

I’m not one to just share my life, maybe he sensed that? Some of the things he asked I would never share. Even though they weren’t super personal I’m not a open book. My Scorpio friend tell me I’m soo secretive over dumb shit but I don’t look at it like that. Ask and maybe you shall receive.

Every time we go out he tells me more and more. I like to listen to people more than I like to talk. He Asked me my life story on our first date and I got so flustered maybe I am secretive lol.

Ok lol...but best to let him know in your own bkbella way that you can't and won't be bossed around or it can get out of control...been there..done that..good luck...

To be honest I love someone who takes control but it’s such a fine line. That can get abusive, ya know?

He also like to be challenged, his own words. I’m a bit of both.

@bkbella86 if he couldnt' handle his stay at home wife - how is he going to handle a woman who got her own business and her own mind and ways of doing things

He doesn’t seem bothered by my independence thus far but I’m not so independent that I wouldn’t listen to my partner ever. He also told me he loves a challenge.
click to expand



yeah, they all say that at the start...

anyway, he sounds interested. you're being careful and checking him out. i wouldn't make any fast moves with this guy. take your time. make sure he is legit (not only his cash situation but his character) and wants to invest in something substantial with you (assuming that's what you are after).

Hahaha! I didn't mean "easy" easy. I meant that, I don't see any real red flags as long as there is mutual respect for each other. Just do not let him run you, ya know?

I will say this, my dad, you wouldn't know he was well off either. The guy loves his free t-shirts and hats like no other, while having some ridiculously over priced watch on. It's those types, you will want. The subtle ones are the more financially stable kind.

And let's be real, you probably sorta like that he didn't let you slide on getting away with being late. It probably somewhat got you sitting up just a bit straighter. In my experience, and what I have seen, every strong woman does not want a weak man. That doesn't mean they are overbearing, but won't let themselves be doormats. They just pick their fights for the more important things, while allowing the less important things not to cause issue.

What I think is, it will be easy in terms of not being too dramatic, and something you two can built a good healthy relationship with. I am lowkey rooting like hell for you on this one, cause I think he will be a good match for you.

I think given time, this relationship could be very fruitful for you. It will be an easy one, that will build slowly, but overtime as long as there is no rush on either side. I have found most Taurus men to actually know how to be financially stable and able to save money, but in an almost discreet type of way. They have more money then they let on, and sometimes appear to be broke when they aren't.

Thanks Nikki

He dresses very modest when out in his neighborhood. You would never know he’s a millionaire unless he tells you. However the first time we met professionally he did somewhat brag and tell me lol.

Girl idk about easy, though. This guy is anything but easy but I’m not easy either so, I’m ok thus far with that. He definitely has that stubborn Taurus streak. I messed up with him a few weeks ago, kept him waiting I was so busy at work and then when I got In I took a nap an didn’t tell him What was going on, we were supposed to meet at 7:30. I’m not even gonna tell you what time I actually got ready but it was well after 7:30. I got up from my nap got dressed and ready to walk out the door and he gave me an earful and cancelled our date. I didn’t get why he was soooo mad and then I told me friend and she checked me. I apologized and he accepted right away and called me. I thought since it was work related he would understand, nah he didn’t care.

Hahaha! I didn't mean "easy" easy. I meant that, I don't see any real red flags as long as there is mutual respect for each other. Just do not let him run you, ya know?

I will say this, my dad, you wouldn't know he was well off either. The guy loves his free t-shirts and hats like no other, while having some ridiculously over priced watch on. It's those types, you will want. The subtle ones are the more financially stable kind.

And let's be real, you probably sorta like that he didn't let you slide on getting away with being late. It probably somewhat got you sitting up just a bit straighter. In my experience, and what I have seen, every strong woman does not want a weak man. That doesn't mean they are overbearing, but won't let themselves be doormats. They just pick their fights for the more important things, while allowing the less important things not to cause issue.

What I think is, it will be easy in terms of not being too dramatic, and something you two can built a good healthy relationship with. I am lowkey rooting like hell for you on this one, cause I think he will be a good match for you.

Aww look at you being all sweet, you’re touching my soft spot. Thanks again Nikki.

I am solely responding not to give you shit, but because I'd like to actually help you in this.

What is his current financial situation? Because in your initial post, I can't tell if he use to have millions and houses, but decided to give it away for piece of mind, leaving him not poor, but middle class. Or does he still have quite a bit of equity, and lost some of his fortune?

I ask this, because based on that information, I can make a more rationalized thought on why he seemingly is so interested in asking you about your current finances. Something about him asking you all of those questions, with him being 50, and you being early 30's is throwing off some red flags for me that I don't really like. But I am not sure what that is.

He still owns several properties and businesses. He’s in the middle of a big project now. I’ve seen 3 of his properties in person and have been inside. I don’t doubt any part of that because it’s been verified. I’m a skilled detective when I need to be.

A few years ago my friend got mixed up with this Gemini from bumfuck, during the inception of their relationship we weren’t talking so I couldn’t suggest it then but he started wilding out and she ended in trouble with the law behind him. I looked him up and low and behold this dude had a rap sheet a mile long. She was in and out of court for a year. She’s also quite the detective but got blinded by the “love” and didn’t do her normal one/two.

Okay, good. That clarifies more for me. Glad you research. I think more people should do so.

So, it sounds like he is probably asking you the financial questions because he probably understands where his previous marriage failed. It isn't that it was because it was traditional, but likely because his ex-wife suffered from "idle hands".

I will give you a personal story in regards to my step father (I call him my dad). His previous marriage was much like what the Taurus you are currently dating had as well. Ex-wife, that seemingly stayed at home and spent frivolously. I think that comes down to boredom, and nothing to do. Much like your Taurus, he ended up giving her half the equity of his assets to get peace of mind as well. After that marriage failed, he married my own mom, who for all intents and purposes is the polar opposite of that, and ambitious. Yet, she is still traditional in a sense that she converted to his religion to marry him, and is still very center focused on traditional aspects of marriage. She just also strongly believes that she should contribute her own financial strength.

So it sounds like your Taurus is potentially acting in the same fashion as my step father. In that he now recognizes what he doesn't want in a partner, and needs someone that doesn't suffer from idle hand. And more than likely, likes that you are traditional in aspects that I know you seem to gear towards, but still want your own financial freedom. He is more than likely, just testing to make sure that what he hears also aligns with what he sees.

See! lol. I have the same issue. I know I have a strong personality, so if I find any sort of weakness in a man that allows me to get away with small stuff, I just get bored with them. Ya know what I mean?

What I think is, it will be easy in terms of not being too dramatic, and something you two can built a good healthy relationship with. I am lowkey rooting like hell for you on this one, cause I think he will be a good match for you.

And yup my ass was like I have to be on point time wise next time.

See! lol. I have the same issue. I know I have a strong personality, so if I find any sort of weakness in a man that allows me to get away with small stuff, I just get bored with them. Ya know what I mean?

Can’t stand it. I know exactly what you mean.

Uh oh. lol He's got to you.

I am solely responding not to give you shit, but because I'd like to actually help you in this.

What is his current financial situation? Because in your initial post, I can't tell if he use to have millions and houses, but decided to give it away for piece of mind, leaving him not poor, but middle class. Or does he still have quite a bit of equity, and lost some of his fortune?

I ask this, because based on that information, I can make a more rationalized thought on why he seemingly is so interested in asking you about your current finances. Something about him asking you all of those questions, with him being 50, and you being early 30's is throwing off some red flags for me that I don't really like. But I am not sure what that is.

He still owns several properties and businesses. He’s in the middle of a big project now. I’ve seen 3 of his properties in person and have been inside. I don’t doubt any part of that because it’s been verified. I’m a skilled detective when I need to be.

A few years ago my friend got mixed up with this Gemini from bumfuck, during the inception of their relationship we weren’t talking so I couldn’t suggest it then but he started wilding out and she ended in trouble with the law behind him. I looked him up and low and behold this dude had a rap sheet a mile long. She was in and out of court for a year. She’s also quite the detective but got blinded by the “love” and didn’t do her normal one/two.

Okay, good. That clarifies more for me. Glad you research. I think more people should do so.

So, it sounds like he is probably asking you the financial questions because he probably understands where his previous marriage failed. It isn't that it was because it was traditional, but likely because his ex-wife suffered from "idle hands".

I will give you a personal story in regards to my step father (I call him my dad). His previous marriage was much like what the Taurus you are currently dating had as well. Ex-wife, that seemingly stayed at home and spent frivolously. I think that comes down to boredom, and nothing to do. Much like your Taurus, he ended up giving her half the equity of his assets to get peace of mind as well. After that marriage failed, he married my own mom, who for all intents and purposes is the polar opposite of that, and ambitious. Yet, she is still traditional in a sense that she converted to his religion to marry him, and is still very center focused on traditional aspects of marriage. She just also strongly believes that she should contribute her own financial strength.

So it sounds like your Taurus is potentially acting in the same fashion as my step father. In that he now recognizes what he doesn't want in a partner, and needs someone that doesn't suffer from idle hand. And more than likely, likes that you are traditional in aspects that I know you seem to gear towards, but still want your own financial freedom. He is more than likely, just testing to make sure that what he hears also aligns with what he sees.

I think given time, this relationship could be very fruitful for you. It will be an easy one, that will build slowly, but overtime as long as there is no rush on either side. I have found most Taurus men to actually know how to be financially stable and able to save money, but in an almost discreet type of way. They have more money then they let on, and sometimes appear to be broke when they aren't.

Thanks Nikki

He dresses very modest when out in his neighborhood. You would never know he’s a millionaire unless he tells you. However the first time we met professionally he did somewhat brag and tell me lol.

Girl idk about easy, though. This guy is anything but easy but I’m not easy either so, I’m ok thus far with that. He definitely has that stubborn Taurus streak. I messed up with him a few weeks ago, kept him waiting I was so busy at work and then when I got In I took a nap an didn’t tell him What was going on, we were supposed to meet at 7:30. I’m not even gonna tell you what time I actually got ready but it was well after 7:30. I got up from my nap got dressed and ready to walk out the door and he gave me an earful and cancelled our date. I didn’t get why he was soooo mad and then I told me friend and she checked me. I apologized and he accepted right away and called me. I thought since it was work related he would understand, nah he didn’t care.

Hahaha! I didn't mean "easy" easy. I meant that, I don't see any real red flags as long as there is mutual respect for each other. Just do not let him run you, ya know?

I will say this, my dad, you wouldn't know he was well off either. The guy loves his free t-shirts and hats like no other, while having some ridiculously over priced watch on. It's those types, you will want. The subtle ones are the more financially stable kind.

And let's be real, you probably sorta like that he didn't let you slide on getting away with being late. It probably somewhat got you sitting up just a bit straighter. In my experience, and what I have seen, every strong woman does not want a weak man. That doesn't mean they are overbearing, but won't let themselves be doormats. They just pick their fights for the more important things, while allowing the less important things not to cause issue.

Yeah his guard is up. But that’s has nothing to do with you specifically. It’s cause his failed marriage and divorce got him fucked up in the head.

Just be careful not to let him work out his issues on you.

And also it would personally give me pause to hear from his own lips that he divorced his ex wife cause she wouldn’t listen to him. Sounds like pretty abusive behavior. Does he want a partner or a yes man?

The stuff he mentioned seemed minor.

In reality if someone is taking care of you, you do have to work within certain parameters, since you’re dependent on them. That’s with any dynamic.

Certainly. But whose to say he didn’t demand she stop working in the first place in order to have her more firmly under his thumb. More typical in older men with that 1950s mentality.

2 sides to every story though. And I tend to zero in on the negative first. You have a good head on your shoulders so just use your judgement as things progress.

It does already but I’m talking to one other guy too. I’ve known the other guy longer. I have to have a buffer or else I’ll get to wrapped up into one person before we even establish anything. Might add a third if I can get out and socialize this winter.

Thanks LN

And yes that’s a good point. If the conversation arises again I’m definitely asking whose idea it was for her to stop working. The more we see each other the more he talks in depth so I’m sure it’ll come up again. I would have opened a business if it was me or even go to school. But that’s me.

Go out to dinner and pay for it. That’s enough to show him you’re not there for his money and willing to be equals

However, I do worry about his financial situations. Seems like he gave a lot to his ex. Seems like he’s too curious about your money. Rich men don’t care about your money and as long as he gets a prenup with you, he doesn’t have to worry about u taking his money. I don’t know. Sounds suspicious.

Enjoy being single, but remember to not hold yourself back and try to find ways of not jumping in all the way. I know it's scary and you want to keep options around because it's safer to not care. But I promise it's not as scary jumping fully in. I get a sense that you protect your heart in the same way I use to.

It's okay to be vulnerable. Just with the right one.

Dinner idea is good.

I’m not worried about his finances. I’m not sure if you read the whole thread but he got it. Yes he gave her a lot but he has a lot.
