My girlfriend told me we wouldn't continue because you're delusional and poor .. so I left her and became rich
I was in a relationship with a girl I literally adored — she was everything I wanted from life, and I used to wish for the day we’d live together. But my financial situation wasn’t great. Over time she started to get fed up even though I was literally doing everything I could. I felt like everything was against me.
Then one day she told me, “We can’t keep going together. Your goals are unrealistic and your abilities are far below your goals, and I’m not going to waste my life on you.” At that moment the world went completely black for me. I didn’t know what to do — I was devastated, crying and begging her not to leave — but she decided to go and to forget all the good things between us.
From the moment she left my life turned around 180 degrees. Instead of falling into a depression I became very serious, not joking around or wasting time. For a while — about a year — I worked on myself and did nothing in my life except work.
Today I saw her again by chance for the first time since we broke up. She had a child in her arms (which means she got married right after leaving me) and was standing waiting for a bus. I drove past her in my new car — a Tesla — the car of her dreams.
That moment really affected me. Not because I wanted to make her feel regret, but because I felt like I’d succeeded and she saw me successful. After I drove past her I pulled over, parked, and started to cry. I didn’t know whether I was crying from happiness or for another reason, but afterwards I felt a lot of relief.
