OP here! No, we talked about it before this, so she knew why. I'm not sure why she thinks this.

You play WoW so ??

Projection maybe?

Maybe she's the one cheating... Easier to blame you than herself.

I do, actually! Surprised anyone noticed.

Its kinda weird cause the same thing is happening to my aunt and uncle, where she thinks he's cheating, or at least spending his money elsewhere that she doesn't know about, because he only ever buys generic shit "to save money". But it actually does look a little suspicious for him since he makes ~$120,000 a year. He doesn't need to save money, he has plenty of it, where is all that other money going?!

Your aunt and uncle are married to each other? o.O

Wtf 52? I would assume so!

#48 & OP: Perhaps your uncle is investing all that money (or lost it all to Bernie Madoff). Why not politely, respectfully, in person mention that you've noticed him buying generic goods/ ask why. Perhaps he's developed a mental health issue (paranoia?) convincing him that he's about to become poor/ bankrupt. However, some generic/ store-brands non-food items never work as well as their brand-names e.g., Band-Aids. Having grown up during the Depression, my dad w/ his well-paying job still always looked for bargains incl. at-home car maint. during his entire life.

They became the aunt and uncle after they got together/married, probably before 48 was even born. One is the aunt/uncle by blood, the other by marriage. (That's my assumption by the way.)

She's just worries you'll spend all your money on a demon hunter, OP

my aunt and uncle actually happened to be brother and sister. they were given up for adoption and reunited like 15 years later and fell in love and got married, then they found out they were related at a family reunion. they both got sterilized and they're still together.

Not saying this is the case but many times when someone is cheating they begin to see random actions with no meaning as signs of cheating, it's part of their guilt wanting the other person to at the very least be as guilty as they are.

No one ever became/stayed wealthy by blowing their money on things that aren't necessary in the first place. That said, Dr. Thunder is not an acceptable replacement for Mountain Dew.

Having a lot of money doesn't mean you have to be wasteful. Allen Iverson made millions in the NBA. I saw something on TV the other day saying that he didn't like to carry luggage when he traveled, so he would just go wherever he needed to go and buy new clothes when he got there. When it was time to leave, he would leave all the stuff that he bought in the hotel room, or wherever he stayed. He's broke now from what I hear (Although I think broke for him, and broke for me are on totally different levels). At the same time, Bill Gates has more money than almost everyone, but every picture I have ever seen him in he just looks like a regular guy. Nothing flashy or impressive. Basically Bill Gates is rich, and also looks"generic".

This! Made me lmao

Honestly, no. I understand it may be difficult if you've been cheated on in the past, but those were other partners, and to take it out on your current partner when they've done nothing wrong is just cruel and a sign of abuse. This actually isn't really a common response of people who have been cheated on in the past, it is, however, a common response of someone who is cheating, or just incredibly insecure. Which is still no excuse to take your own problems on other people, especially your partner, someone you're supposed to trust and care for. She clearly isn't working on it as she is not coming around, she still thinks he's cheating even after an explanation, and she is being vicious by making such ludicrous accusations with no backing. It also absolutely means she doesn't trust the OP, when you make baseless accusations, you're not doing it because you trust the person, you're making them cause there is no trust there, and you think that they're being sneaky and lying. This girl needs help, probably a therapist or psychologist to discuss her trust issues, the OP can stick it through and help, but I honestly think it's better to just leave. This girl needs to work on herself before she even considers being with someone else.

I've been in this spot. The accusations only got worse, she claimed because my job was far from home and had to stay late closing ( working in a deli) that I obviously I was cheating and took every scratch or bruise that I got from work as a sign I was with someone else. This was while I was supporting her and her 16 yr old. OP get out while you can It's not going to get better when someone starts up like this.

Honestly, yes, it can be. As I've stated before, everyone is different. Obviously, if OP had clarified that she was being "vicious," it'd be a whole different situation. Everyone's quick to jump in on one side of the situation, stating that she's "crazy" and "guilty," but you all seem to forget the other sides to these sorts of situations. If she was being vicious, and unforgiving, then, yes, it would be abuse. But we don't know these folks, or their history. Not every situation has a simple explanation. You all can dislike this comment as much as you'd like, and I'm not saying she's definitely in the right, but it may be useful for everyone to consider other options for her behavior instead of jumping on the bandwagon.
