I bragged about being a luxury stay-at-home fiancé but now I have to work 2 minimum wage jobs just to get by
A WOMAN has shared a warning to people, after she went from riches to rags, when her relationship with her fiancé ended.
Rose Davis, 28, is a former stay at home fiancé and often bragged about her life of luxury on social media.
She said that she had three qualifications, but was happiest staying at home doing the cooking and cleaning for her partner, financial advisor Harry.
Harry would often gift Rose with expensive designer items such as Louis Vuitton bags, and would take her out for fancy meals, and she believed that she was living the dream.
However, Rose revealed that the couple “just weren’t compatible”, and decided to end their relationship after two years.
The former housewife was left with nothing, and has had to learn to fend for herself.
Taking to TikTok, she said: “I’m a former stay at home fiancé and I’m telling you, don’t do it”.
“I’m currently working two minimum wage jobs just to get myself back on my feet”.
Rose revealed that during the time her fiancé provided for her, she wasn’t able to save any money, as he gave her the exact amount she needed for each item.
She said that she has faced a lot of struggles since her relationship ended, but is determined to be able to fend for herself.
She added that she has now “officially learned” the importance of keeping your independence and doesn’t want other girls to make the same mistakes that she did.
“I guess everyone is going to say I told you so.
“But if I can help someone, I’d say, girl, don’t do it”.
Rose’s video, which was posted under the user name @rosedavisx has likely left many people open-mouthed, as it has gone viral, racking up 50,000 views on the social media platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: “You were told man, many times by older women and you ignored them.
“What makes you think younger women are going to listen to you now?”.
A second person said: “Always maintain your financial independence!”.
A third person said: “I really admire your honesty, it takes a lot of guts to come on here and be so candid after the past few years.”
A fourth added: “I learned this lesson the hard way too”.

What is a trad wife?
A trad wife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra traditional role in marriage, meaning she makes dinner and looks pretty whilst her husband goes to work.
The trend takes inspiration from the idea of a 1950s housewife.
Many ‘trad wives’ choose to dress in the style of clothing popular in this period (think floral dresses and frumpy cardigans).
Additionally, the values considered important to trad wives are similar to strict Christian values.
Trad wives believed they were not forced into this way of life, and that it was their purpose to be homemakers.
The trend, which has garnered attention on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, glamorises a time gone by with little acknowledgement of the economic challenges facing families and mothers today.
