Trophy Dude Hazards
   Everyone thinks dating out of your tax bracket would be the greatest set up ever.  Those who’ve done it, understand you still pay a price.Â
   I often mention how Trixie (gf) is a lawyer.  Yes, she makes a ton of money and buys, well let’s say, a lot of meals.  To be fair, I don’t need to go out to dinner all of the time.  It’s not as healthy and much more expensive.  She offers to buy and away we go.
   Sounds great, but there are some issues.  People who are constantly buying everything feel like they don’t have to do anything else.  I’m constantly cleaning, she gives me airline miles.  Yes I know, sounds like a great trade.  Don’t want to give the impression that I’m bitching.  I am, but I don’t want anyone to think that.  No, it’s not irritating at all that after living in a place for 2.5 years to have your partner ask, “Where do we keep the vacuum cleaner?”
   That said, I’ve never met a more generous person.  She will do anything for you, as long as she doesn’t have to get off the couch.  Order delivery, book a hotel, done.  Ask for a ride to the airport?  Are you kidding.  No, but she’ll drop $60 on a taxi so she can sleep an extra 45 minutes. Â
   Yes, I know I’m winning, but here’s something new.  She decided to go on a diet.  Totally her own decision.  Decided to go with a program called, Isogenix.  It’s pretty hard core for the first month and honestly, she’s done great on it.  Though a downside is, I get a full rundown of everything she’s eaten by asking, “How’re you doing?’  The other downside, she doesn’t eat as many real meals so, she go out to eat as much so, I’m starting to realize just how much of a food source my gf became.  That’s an eye opener.  Her diet is costing me money.  Now I’ve got to calculate, how valuable is her being thin? Â
   Being the generous person she is, and I’m being serious, she has given me a large amount of the meal replacement shakes because she didn’t like them (she ordered different ones).  So turns out, she’s not shirking her unwritten/adopted responsibility of feeding me.  Problem is, meal replacement shakes never feel like the meal they’re supposed to replace.  Now, I’m walking around hungry and can’t eat any more not just because I’ll have to buy food but because I’ve already used my allotted calories.  On the other hand, my jeans are fitting much better.  No one understands the sacrifices of a Trophy Dude.
