I am going to go out on a limb here and say yes I am spoiled in the traditional sense of "things." He buys me things all the time, new vehicles, jewelry, clothes, trips, he pays me a weekly salary but I do work for him, and he pays all of the expenses. He set up investment accounts in my name and he also monitors my finances, but not in a controlling way, more like an advisor. Everything that he has given me is in my name, and my name is also on the business, as well as his other property's. The reason for this is that he has had 3 wives before me and they never showed any interest in his business or in his life outside of what he could do for them, and when we met he was still married to wife #3, but legally separated. When we started seeing each other he felt like he had lost all interest in his business and wanted to sell it. I convinced him to keep it, and to expand, and promised to work for him in that capacity. That was almost 2 years ago and things have been awesome. He has found a new lease on life according to him, and now he loves the business that before he only saw as a way of making revenue, now he sees it as the reason for getting up in the morning and he feels the same excitement he did in the beginning 20 years ago. This is a small town and I am sure that people have plenty to say about our relationship and the fact that he is 17 years older than me but we don't care. It is our life and he has worked his ass off to get where he is and if he chooses to spoil me that is his doing and believe me I appreciate it and am aware of it every single day. This is a life I never had either with my ex-husband, even though we were middle class and comfortable, and he was not in any way a bad husband, I am just saying that this life is not like that one. At first I felt uncomfortable but once I realized that to him I was worth what he was bestowing on me and that he also expected me to work for him and actually produce results, it evened out. But yes, I am aware, I am definitely what most would call spoiled. I am okay with that. We are in love and he is the one in control and I am sure if he decided I wasn't worth it, I would be the first to hear.
