Malaysian Woman Reflects on Her BFF's Prosperous Relationship and Her Gamer Boyfriend's Contrasting Lifestyle

It's common to feel envy towards others, especially when they possess what we desire but don't have in our lives. For an unnamed Malaysian girl, her best friend's enchanting love life has always captivated her, as revealed in a confession post on Dcard.

Observing her friend's Instagram stories, she couldn't help but notice the luxurious lifestyle her best friend enjoyed, with a boyfriend who regularly takes her shopping for high-end items and picks her up in a BMW. Initially assuming he was the son of wealthy parents, the girl later discovered that his success was achieved through hard work, and the couple supports each other's careers and studies, having been together for two years. The stark contrast between her best friend's successful relationship and her own situation left her in awe.

This stark comparison led her to reflect on her own boyfriend, who differs significantly from her best friend's partner. At 23, he prefers spending most of his time at home playing video games and drives a secondhand Myvi. However, it's not just about his gaming habits and his car.

As his internship approaches, the girl is concerned that he hasn't applied anywhere yet, and to add to her worries, he asked her to fix his resume. This situation has prompted her to question her boyfriend's financial stability, contemplating the contrasting paths taken by her boyfriend, who is still immersed in gaming, and her best friend's partner, who has achieved success at a similar age.
