Let's go, coffee girl.

Were you pouring it down the drain every day?

Were you pissing in it like the last guy?

Okay, moving along.

I'm so curious what you think of this one because it's also kind of a little bit on the lying track.

So it's coming from Am I Overreacting?

Titled, Am I Overreacting for calling off my engagement after my fiance admitted his family secretly tested me to see if I was a gold digger?

I, 24 female, have been with my fiance, 27 male, for almost four years.

He has a really well-paying job in tech, and I make pretty average money.

We've always split things fair, and I've never asked him for expensive stuff or trips or anything.

I honestly thought money was a non-issue for us.

I never was interested in him for his money anyways.

We genuinely clicked so well and I loved his personality.

We are into the same nerdy things and his family seemed to really like me.

I never thought I would have to worry about our relationship going south until now.

A few days ago, my fiance sat me down and said he had something he wanted to tell me, and he was smiling like it was good news.

He basically told me that his family has been secretly testing me for the last 11 months to make sure I wasn't a gold digger.

He said they were worried I only liked him for his income and wanted proof before we got married.

The test was that they all made it seem like he was struggling financially and might lose his job.

His mom would casually bring up layoffs, his dad talked about how unstable tech is, and slowly it turned into, he might actually lose his job, and you guys might have to really downsize.
