A man was stunned to know that his girlfriend of ten years was a millionaire. He worked two jobs to make ends meet, not knowing how wealthy his girlfriend was.

The man with the username throwaway_for_adv turned to Reddit seeking relationship advice. In his post, he mentioned how he discovered the truth about his girlfriend’s wealth after she left their house.

He shared that she often went away to see an alleged relative and didn’t return home for several days. After his girlfriend left that day, he stumbled upon her laptop while cleaning the house.

He discovered the shocking truth when he raised the lid and saw the screen. Some of the things the Redditor shared about his story showed how many red flags he’d ignored in his relationship.

How Did the Reddit User Discover His Girlfriend’s Riches?
Before jumping into the main story, the man shared how he met his girlfriend. She had moved into his town when he was in high school, and they became friends “by chance.” He explained:

“We basically hit it off and became great friends and started dating a year later.”

The man confessed he never noticed anything about his girlfriend that would suggest she was a wealthy woman. He never saw her wear expensive clothes or jewelry. OP’s (original poster’s) girlfriend never spent a lot of money.

He confessed that he wasn’t curious, but looking at the half-open laptop tempted him to lift the screen.

When they were in high school, she lived with her “aunt” in a one-story building, which never made him think she was rich. They had been dating each other for the past ten years, and OP confessed they lived a “normal life.”
