AITA for telling a friend's girlfriend that she's spoiled?
For nearly fifteen years, he had been a symbol of resilience and quiet determination, a man who defied financial hardship with relentless hard work and unwavering focus.
His journey was not one of ease, but of grit—juggling two jobs, paying his way through university without loans, and now nurturing a fledgling startup that held the promise of a brighter future.
Every decision he made was measured, every penny accounted for, reflecting a life built on sacrifice and steadfast dreams. Yet, in the intimate moment of discussing a car purchase with his girlfriend, the weight of his reality pressed heavily on him.
The prospect of taking on a loan clashed with his deep-seated caution, revealing the raw tension between hope and fear, love and responsibility.
It was more than just a car—it was a crossroads where dreams risked collision with harsh financial truths, laying bare the emotional struggle beneath the surface of everyday choices.
