Dishonest woman consistently asks situationship for $400 or more, expects him to pay up without question: ‘She’s scamming you’ #Fun

Love, or infatuation, can sometimes shield us from reality. We put on our rose colored glasses and in the words of BoJack Horseman, “All the red flags just look like flags.” You don’t see people for who they truly are, you want to see the best in them. We think that the reason they’re not texting us back is because of that insane Verizon outage, not that he’s just not that interested. We believe them when they say they’re going to change, for real this time. It happens to the best of us, and we really can’t be blamed. Sometimes we need the harsh light of say, a Reddit thread, to show us that we’re actually being taken advantage of.

This thread is a prime example of that. A dude, blinded by affection, fails to see the scam a woman is running on him. Read on for the wild details.

Adult children living at home with their parents can create an awkward dynamic. Usually, the goal of this situation is to save up enough money so the kid can live outside of their parent’s house without great struggle, but tensions will rise when you’re nowhere close to that goal. Some kids will take advantage of their parents’ kindness, and some parents will micromanage their kids’ every move and forget that although they’re sleeping in the room they slept in as teenagers, they are not teenagers anymore.

The parent-child relationship at the center of this story appears to be a little fraught. Po, the 25-year-old living at home, pays their parents a modest $100 rent every month and only works part-time because their job won’t give them full-time hours. When a LARPing event came around that both Po and their mom were interested in, their mom decided to ground them because they owed her money.
