How Charles Ruined His Relationship with a Sugar Mama

I bumped into Charles at a bar. He looked ready to pass out from the alcohol overload- and I offered him a lift home! We met for coffee the next day (his way of saying thanks) – and got chatting.  Turns out he had just broken up with someone, and he told me, a bit shyly, that she was 20 years older and ‘way richer than me’. “So what happened?” I wondered, surprised that he was breaking up just months after meeting a sugar mama!

“It started off with her family” he said gloomily! “I never did get along with her sons!” he told me. “So what?” I asked. Charles continued “trouble was, I never hid my hostility well!”  I listened on. Evidently, there were repeated arguments and it reached a point where the lady in question was forced to make a choice “I never imagined she would drop me like a hot potato!” he said bitterly. I couldn’t help retorting “you seriously expected her to choose you over her family?” He grinned ruefully!

There was more. Evidently, Charles was having tiny issues with this lady relating to chores. “We seemed to hit it off right away. But the relationship changed perceptibly when we started staying together” He remembered. “She expected me to attend to some chores at home- and I balked at those.” I listened sympathetically. When you meet sugar mamas, you are usually ready to do practically anything! But the trouble starts when reality creeps in! Money problems (yours), children from earlier relations (hers) and other issues from the past may wreck havoc with your relationship!

I don’t know whether Charles will act differently next time, but I would definitely think about these avoidable problems next time I meet sugar mamas!
