Bent but not broken

I have a friend, lets call him N. He comes from a very rich family, whose father owns multi million dollar companies throughout the world; yet he is still studying. Naturally he is brought up in an environment where nothing is close to incomplete. He has literally everything money can get him. He doesn't know what the term financial crisis means. However, he is not egotistical or proud. He is just damn filthy loaded. So when I found out he has a girlfriend, I kept quiet.

What I couldn't understand was how he could fork out all his own pocket money to pay for her tuition fees, cover her daily expenses, feed her, buy her air tickets to Hong Kong, rent her an apartment and the list goes on. This is not an issue about the money or the girl, but his actions. He claims it to be the responsibility of a boyfriend. Seriously, with marriage comes responsibility. Make that plural, please. I mean, what if, one day she decides to walk away after graduation when she finds herself another compatible mate?

Would it all just be lost investments?

Just the other day I heard N saying that his girlfriend doesn't like him talking about his course mates. Again, I have no issues against the girl, but his rationale. His obedience and tolerance for such an unacceptable reason is almost humorous and whimsical. I mean, can't a person share his piece of cake once awhile? Does he always have to get a licence to share?

Maybe, there are situations which keeps him the way he is, so generous and charitable. I am just doing my part as a by passer. To see how far he is bent, but not broken. Perhaps not yet.

Where else do I say this to if not here.

P/s: Trust me, she doesn't look like Angelina Jolie. Guess love is always blinding when the timing is never right.

that's definitely a brutal beating if the girl walks away someday. as harsh as it may sound, he seems to be more like a mobile ATM in a big way..

I understand what you are trying to say. But it just seems unrealistic to me. Although I do not deny that financial stability is important for such a relationship.

p/s: Thanks Darius. For taking the time :)

i guess the guy has yet to understand the true value of money and love.

so, by showering the girl friend with money, he thought he would have captured the girl's heart and love.

i pity the guy.
