What I describe below should be considered unusual for me. There is a bond between the two of us, that I am unlikely to find again. On the surface, we make no sense given the age gap, and different place in life. But somehow we work. This translates into me being more generous with her than I have been with anyone else. But I highly doubt this is typical or common. The stuff below is outside of allowance.
We have been to a racetrack twice, where we have experienced high performance track driving in serious sports cars. First time we went, she shocked the instructors on how naturally gifted she was at this. Told her they had never seen a first-timer with her confidence and ability.
We have taken 5 other trips together. Including exotic international destinations. Our ability to get along for extended periods of time together make this possible.
We are both tech nerds. I have gifted her a bunch of tech gadgets. Mainly Apple
She is currently remote. I pay all her expenses when she comes back to visit.
When traveling, I usually give her play money for shopping
For Xmas, I am going to pay off her line of credit.
She is moving back early in the New Year. I will pay the expenses.
Bought her a YSL bag for her birthday. Her first designer bag ever.
I want to re-emphasize that I do these things, because of the way we connect. None of this happened early in the arrangement. She has never asked for any of this stuff. Once I became fully convinced of her sincerity, then I started doing these things. Because I wanted to, not because she asked or pressured me.
In spite of this, I often feel I get the better of the deal.
