My Boyfriend Started Cheating on Me After He Became Rich, Yet I Supported Him When He Was Poor and Had Nothing
When we met, he had nothing no stable income, no connections, just big dreams and a wounded pride. I stood by him anyway. I paid rent when things were tough, encouraged him when doors closed, and believed in him when even his friends gave up.
I wasn’t doing it for praise; I loved him and trusted that we were building a future together. Things changed when money finally came. His business picked up fast, new friends appeared overnight, and his phone never left his hand.
At first, I told myself it was just success stress. Then the late nights started. The excuses multiplied. He became distant, impatient, and suddenly critical of everything about me how I dressed, how I talked, how I lived.
The same man who once leaned on my shoulder now looked through me.
The truth came out painfully. He was cheating openly, confidently acting like loyalty had an expiry date. When I confronted him, he said success had “opened his options.”
That sentence broke something inside me. I felt used and discarded, like my role was only to support him on the way up. I questioned my worth and wondered how love could evaporate so quickly once money entered the picture.
I tried talking. I tried walking away. I tried pretending I was okay. Nothing worked. He grew colder, and I grew smaller. What scared me most wasn’t losing him it was losing myself.
