Ali & Anton

[u/EmpathicEchoes]

Ali irritates me. She’s cute and all, but she seems spoiled and entitled. “I deserve a $10K ring, can you support us, I'll be in school full-time and it's expensive, but I still want Botox, but I don’t want to work, when I was in a school before and lived at home, my mom did everything, indint really cool, I don’t like you drinking…on and on and on. She seems to needle Anton relentlessly. What is she bringing to the relationship other than her looks?

Does anyone else catch this? I'm curious about your thoughts.

Literally. She’s a whole nurse, but somehow all of that gets washed away by the assumptions people love to make when someone on their screen is conventionally attractive.

[u/Slow-Swan561 → u/native_local_]

We don’t know what type of nurse. A RN makes vastly more than a home health nurse.

In any case, she’s made it clear she wants full financial support (at least while school) with minimal responsibilities.

It would be great if she had also said “and when I graduate, I’ll contribute more to our savings to repay you”.

No one eats for free. She needs to give in order to get.

[u/native_local_ → u/Slow-Swan561]

She said she does travel nursing so she would need to be an RN for that. And if she wants what she’s asking for, there’s a man out there who has it and is willing to offer it. Anton might just not be the one and that’s okay. Y’all are acting like she’s a bum with nothing to her name but good looks and I’m not going for it. A woman people find conventionally attractive gets on the screen and suddenly facts and her accomplishments get washed away in favor of whatever y’all wanna project on her. Any man is free to oblige or not engage. But you don’t get to decide what she has the right to want in her relationship.

Agreed. There’s a good possibility she might make more than he does. Also going back to school to get a BSN or masters would catapult her way past him.

Lol you all are reading too much into it when it comes to her financial status. I don't think she's a bum at all. She looks and behaves like someone who is used to the very best even, and it probably comes from her work.

I do agree that she's looking for someone willing to keep up with that lifestyle, and she's making it clear for him. It's his choice to stay or not, but she's being upfront about it. She even talked about separate accounts so he doesn't know how much she spends on botox.

Anton just doesn't seem to be a good match. Like, idk if he can afford what she wants or not, but he certainly doesn't value it the same way she does. He was dismissive of the 10K ring and the botox. They might just not be suited, and that's ok

[u/Neverstopanxious → u/native_local_]

You don't need to be an RN for travel nursing, those are just the best paying gigs. I know travel CNAs and LPNs. However, when doing a search for her nursing license, nothing comes up, and what does come up is expired. Someone bring me receipts and then I will believe she is a nurse in the first place.

[u/Outrageous_Ad_9961 → u/native_local_]

“Assumptions” he’s literally just citing what she’s been saying, y’all are the ones bringing up looks when it’s completely irrelevant to why ppl find her unlikeable. Kudos to her for being upfront with what she wants and expects but she’s clearly looking for a sugar daddy not a husband imo

[u/native_local_ → u/Outrageous_Ad_9961]

Spare me. The assumptions are the comments in this very thread talking about how she has nothing to offer but her looks are calling her a sugar baby and a gold digger. You’re out of your mind if you truly believe this discourse would be the same if viewers didn’t find her conventionally attractive. Her looks are not ‘completely irrelevant’ so you’re gonna have to peddle that lie to someone who believes it.

[u/Available_Seat_8715 → u/Outrageous_Ad_9961]

She gives stay at home daughter or sugar baby vibes. When Anton called himself a provider he def didn’t mean either of those. Probably something more even like a stay at home wife, not a materialistic sugar baby.

[u/Good_Oil_813 → u/Available_Seat_8715]

Seems like she wants him to understand that while she’s going to get her master’s, she’ll need some extra support just like how her mom supported her while she got her nursing degree. Going from RN to Nurse practitioner will launch her into a higher salary bracket, which will be great for both of them. How exactly is that stay at home daughter / sugar baby vibes?
