At first I was like, LOL, then I was like . OP, go pick a girl up from the seedy side of town, she may be a gold digger but her tastes won't be so expensive.

A $2500 handbag? What happens when next season comes around?

Ask her who the f*ck does she think she is then tell her to GTFO. Take everything back that is yours that can be returned/sold back.

A lot. Based on what T2K has said in the past, the wife to be is completely wrapped up in conspicuous consumption. She needs to display her $3k purse and $10k ring, she has to have a hubby to buy her all the things she needs to prove her worth to the world. That pay cut is going to hurt her badly, she may have to make him get a second job, or find a fellow with more disposable income.

I really hope he's simply a troll, because if all the things he's posted here are true, the poor stupid little fuck is in for a lifetime of pandering to the needs of the miserable succubus he's engaged to. It's beyond tragic, the lad is completely without a spine, he's been cowed to the point of slavery. I pity his need of the creature that's sucking the life out of him, and I detest his inability to do anything to better his situation.

Please let him simply be a troll.

Yeah, best situation here is that the guy is a troll. If not, then this salary cut may be the best thing to happen to him if she ends up leaving him. Otherwise the reality of what she is will finally start to affect him. Having a decent salary but living a simple lifestyle to allow him to give his fiancée a $10k ring/expensive handbags (one of which she gave away) without going into debt is bad, but the real trouble is when he can't finance her lifestyle without going into debt. I swear I read a book about this in my brit lit class.

Just ask this girl who obviously owns you what you should do, then obey. You might as well get used to it.

Anyway related to health insurance? I "hear" of many places going to 32 hours in order to save money by not having to provide health insurance but this case didn't really sound like that. Just curious

OP you deserve to suffer. Make your bed and sleep in it. The sheer stupidity of your decision making is mind boggling. Why do you even post on here when you have hundreds if not thousands of people telling you to do the opposite of what you do?

Personally, I think this farce is almost played out and is going to conclude with the "fiancee" leaving, and this troll story will end, something like nowheremom saga.


Pretty much this. Can't figure out how so many people don't see through it.


I guess it's because it's easier to swallow a troll story and feed the troll than believe it's another internet nowheremom-type saga and have to admit they've been suckered.....again.

lol, you guys are a bunch of hardasses.

That's not the case at all. Search this guy's history, this woman runs him. She manages every aspect of his life and shes concerned about his ability to keep her in money once they're married. She claims to need a grand a month in "spending" money.

In order to prevent layoffs, my company is cutting everyone's work hours from the normal 40 hours down to 32 hours. I'm searching for a house right now so this is a bad time.

And I have to deal with my fiance who is freaking out right now. So how do I calm her down? I also suggested she try to look harder for her own job.

Time to polish up the ol' resume and start looking for a new job. When companies start pulling these shenanigans, don't expect things to end well if you stay there.

Yup, squeezing the most out of the few and if you prove yourself dependable you get reamed.

I once heard 'How do you reward your best workers?' asked at a management course. The most popular answer 'with more work.'.

This. If the other lazy arseholes at work can come in late at 10 (I had to drop my kids), and leave early at 4 (I have to pick up my kids), so can I :

10am : Sorry I was late, was picking up hookers.
4pm : Sorry I have to leave this meeting, but I'll be picking up hookers.

This is the problem with kids today. She freaks out over losing 20% of your pay but how much would she have freaked out if you had given her a $2k ring as opposed to 10k.

If she had to choose over the 20% pay, or him... I think I know which one she'd choose. :hmm:

He's trolling. No one can possibly be this damn stupid. If he isn't trolling and really is telling the truth, then he might possibly be the dumbest person in the history of the world.

People just need to ignore his threads. He posts and sits back and laughs at all of the people who are naïve and actually try to offer helpful advice.
