My boyfriend is beyond out of touch with reality
So due to the coronavirus my boyfriend’s family business (over 20 years old)!had to lay off a majority of their employees since they will be closed the next month (at least) Obviously that is horrible and my heart breaks for anyone going through this since it’s going to affect everyone just in different ways. But I just can’t get over the fact that my boyfriends family is very successful and buys numerous expensive things for show and just bought a new vacation house and helicopter (i am not joking) Like yes 100% it’s there money and they can spend it however they want but they never would have made that money if it wasn’t for their hardworking staff. So after this passes they will still be able to go on vacation this summer and sit at their house and use there helicopter while the people at there business are struggling to catch back up?? It honestly just makes me so sick since no one could have prepared for this but his parents could easily help their employees for a few weeks and re evaluate since this hasn’t even impacted there business yet...they closed today. It was there business decision so it is what it is. But I feel that helps explain my two issues bothering me the most are being associated with his parents and him being so out of touch with reality. First I know it has nothing to do with me at the moment but in the next 10 years my boyfriend and his sister with be the owners of the business. We have been dating for 8 years so if I do marry him I am associated with his family??? I don’t want people to think of me/his family as the owners who didn’t help their employees during a time of need. Next, he told me he is going to work a lot the next few weeks not because he needs to help with anything just because he needs to make money. I was absolutely shocked by what he said since he has absolutely zero expenses he lives at home, no bills/debt. Side note he has a tentative job offer pending an interview after the coronavirus so he will be moving out/having an actual salary/expenses)
He doesn’t need to make money he wants to make money which he doesn’t even save for his future apartment/expenses. His money his choices. But I just can’t deal with him saying how he feels bad for people when he’s just lucky it’s a family business since he would have been in the same position as everyone else. He’s just so out of touch with reality and expenses and I tried so hard to explain to him that these people have families/bills/mortgages they NEED money but he doesn’t get it. It just hurts and makes me physically feel sick since he can’t empathize/understand situations like these! He’s a great guy and I can look past his parents since he treats me well but I can’t deal with him not seeing what the real world is like.
