This whole messy ordeal has advanced my Botox start date by at least two years. Like every other DABA girl, the economy was wreaking havoc on my relationship and youthful good looks. Phone calls went unanswered, Hamptons invitations un-extended, plans canceled (including, but not limited to, expensive opening night tickets to the ballet, which were scalped instead of being graciously offered to me and a galpal), and so forth and so on. Until – the horror of all horrors – my FBF lost his job, which I guess technically downgrades him to just my BF.
Overnight, he went from unavailable to downright clingy. He wants to have dinner every night. By dinner I mean staying in and cooking as Megu is no longer in the budget. AND, FYI DABA girls – chopping vegetables along side your man in a hot New York sized kitchen is NOTHING like the sexy kitchen scene between Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger in Nine and a Half Weeks. Seriously. It sucks. Anyhow, he suggested I meet his parents over the holidays and he keeps commenting that half Asian babies are by far the cutest. My take on his 180: having no steady source of income for the foreseeable future, he realized that his chances of securing another fashion industry type girl are pretty much zilch and so he is cleaving to me as the last vestige of his former high rolling lifestyle.
Thanks to the recession, I now have a completely devoted BF, which is exactly what I wanted. So I should be happy, right? Wrong. I’m bored and can’t stop thinking about my perpetually unattainable Euro ex-boyfriend who is recession proof courtesy of an offshore trust account. To be honest, I’m only with my BF because I just don’t have the heart to change my facebook status from “in a relationship” to “I ain’t saying I’m a gold digger, but I ain’t messin’ with no broke banker.”

Hello, my name is Kevin and I’m from Argentina. I really want you all girls to know something about LIFE.
You just don’t know how to afford a crisis courageously and your monetary minds only have space for saving money and buying luxury things.
Actually, you all don’t know what a CRISIS does mean… Here in Argentina, the corruptcy and poverty are constantly hitting our lives…
So, make up your mind and realize once and for all that there is much more to look after but a few thousands dollars…

Hilarious! Nice story, everyone involved got what they deserve. I love a happy ending.

I’m hoping this is a very well put-together joke. But, seeing as it’s getting so many defenders, my brain may explode upon realization that this may, in fact, be totally serious.

To the person listed as “nobody” who posted on 1/29 above, YOU ROCK!!! I’ve been waiting for someone to post about unconditional love and supporting their spouse in good times a bad (isn’t that what wedding vows are supposed to be anyways?!). You are definitely way more than a nobody if you found youself a wonderful woman who would be with you not knowing if you’d turn out to be a financial success. All the DABA and DABA wannabes on this site could learn a few things from your class act of a wife. Best of luck to you!

Im addicted to this blog, however I don’t agree with most of whats written here. But is interesting to learn about other people/cultures point of view
I got married to my husband we had almost nothing, even though we both come from traditional families in our country, we started working in his family business, and we worked so hard on it that now I can say I really can have whatever I want to, this crisis is not even making us worried because we just see our business growing… and Im so happy I made the decision of spending my life with someone I love rather than with someone that pay my bills and take me out!!!!
good luck to you girls
