Yah... I felt like my ex t flauntd her money. Maybe she wasnt but that was my perception. And there i was, she KNEW how much of a struggle it was for me to pay her outrageous fee every week, she knew i often had to sell stuff around my house to pay her. And there she was always in new clothes and fancy stuff. I resented it...and her.
New t CLEARLY doesnt make much money (she doesnt charge me much, either) and she doesnt spend money on herself, either. I know for a fact that when she wants something, she has to save up money for a while. Just like i do. That makes me feel more comfortable. Levels the playing field. And yah, i dont dress up around her either. With old t, i used to think about what i was going to wear that day-- did i look good enough to see her? Geesh. Not so with this t.
