Thanks for the reply! It means a lot
Well her mom is not a nice person so when we finished our College year (we were at the same College; also where we met!) she packed up all her stuff and now lives with my parents and I. We'll be moving out into an apartment once school starts but right now we're at my parents' place.
I have quite a bit of money and pay for a lot of the things she needs and I like to get her nice things and she does the same thing for me when she can (she works long hours and at every chance she can).
I never flaunt the things I have but I am proud of the things that I have as I have worked hard for them and I have strong passion for the things I like to do.
She confuses me being passionate about something as flaunting..
I'm proud of the $2000 computer I paid 100% myself with my own money and built myself..
The fact that it was $2000 is not to flaunt or to make fun of others who have spent less for their computer. I just love it and I built it and picked all the parts myself and it's my second baby (behind my girlfriend <3)...so I like to let people know.
My one friend recently paid $100 for his graphics card for his computer and I posted on facebook how awesome that was and I was just surprised he could find such an awesome deal for what performance he needed and how I paid $400 for mine.
My girlfriend takes it as "haha! $100!! What is that a paperweight!? That won't even let you play a game from ten years ago!!"
So she gets mad at me about flaunting what I have...I'm just making conversation and putting my own experiences into it of buying my own graphics card to show I'm interested in his purchase...
One person says they have a Blackberry model X and someone says back they have an iPhone X....no one's flaunting what they have...just happy with the phone they picked for their needs and letting each other know, as friends.
Sorry I'm a little long-winded in typing lol...I just don't see where I'm going wrong?
