Luckily Ali and I haven’t had any trouble staying tight even with the growing income gap between us. So when she started dating super-successful guys I didn’t imagine it would change anything. Which is why, I must admit, the current dynamic has thrown me for a bit of a loop.
Here’s the thing. The dude she’s been dating lately is so loaded that, even though he’s maybe two years older than me, he approaches me in sort of a fatherly fashion (this description only serves if your father is a condescending a**hole).
Anyway, it’s so ick! I’m sure that once upon a time earning power and brain power could have been safely equated—but not so much anymore. If it did, we’d all be enrolled in Paris Hilton’s, “Dissecting Proust” class at the Learning Annex. So please keep all digits crossed for me that this relationship dies an early death, as I already officially loathe his golden guts.
