The past week at work has been so annoying. For a few days, Monica was really short and distant no matter how much I tried to talk to her. It was really weird because she wasn’t acting that way with anyone else. Even though it bothered me, I had so much more to worry about so I didn’t dwell on it. My meeting with Scott and Mike on Thursday went really well, so well in fact, that they agreed to get me absolutely anything I need to get sales to where they want them to be. Unlimited resources!
On Wednesday night, I bugged Brady about what he was getting me for my first Mother’s Day. He had the nerve to laugh and ask if I really thought I deserved something which I thought was rude. But then on Thursday morning right before he left for work, Brady informed me that he’d left his Amex on the nightstand.
I rolled over and said, “Wait, why?”
“Get whatever you want,” Brady said and I couldn’t argue with that.
I ordered two items from my favorite luxury website, net-a-porter.com and immediately when I got the order confirmation email, I forwarded it to Brady. It was a little pricey and I didn’t want to be accused of trying to hide it or anything.
Brady replied, “You’re welcome.”
After my beautiful net-a-porter splurge and really successful meeting, I was feeling super great and super happy so naturally, I chose that moment to talk to Brittany.
I texted her, “Why are you sending pictures of wedding rings to my man?” Our relationship is just like that so she would know not to get defensive.
“Lol, what do you mean? No idea what you’re talking about, girl,” she said back.
“Facebook! I have his password obviously.”
She sent back the eye rolling emoji and then a few minutes later added, “Psycho.”
She’s right.
About an hour later, she snapped me a tongue out selfie with the caption, “Your boyfriend says hiiiiiiiii!” Which I assumed meant they were chatting on Facebook again. So annoying and so bitchy.
Brady went straight to the gym after work and I didn’t even want him to come home. When he finally did, I was already in bed and sleeping and shooed him away when he tried to cuddle me.
On Friday afternoon, Monica and I were in the copy room together. Even though she’d seemed mad at me for a while, I was still super friendly and nice and asked how her work was going. She started opening up and explaining some of her projects to me.
There was a lull in our conversation and I grabbed my papers preparing to leave then Monica said, “Scott thinks you hate it here.”
I turned back to her. “What?”
“He thinks you’re really unhappy. He asked me what I thought the other day.”
“And what did you say?”
Monica shrugged. “I don’t know. I can’t tell if you’re moody or just like, super serious now.”
“I’m not moody,” I scoffed. “I think everyone else is super serious so I kind of have to be too.”
She gave me a sympathetic smile. “The big guys are just freaking out about the numbers. I’m sure it’ll get better.”
I don’t know why, but it really bothered me. Why was Scott talking to Monica about me? If he feels that I’m unhappy, shouldn’t he talk to me about it? Isn’t that how you retain employees? You can’t just assume someone is unhappy and then not try to do anything about it.
I was still upset by the time I got home. I pulled out my laptop and started replying to emails in the living room then Brady arrived home soon after. I was still annoyed at him about messaging Brittany and my day at work didn’t help.
Brady stopped in the living room and said hello then went to put his stuff down. When he came back, he had Tucker and a bag of pretzels in his arms.
“How was your day?” he asked, sitting down next to me.
“Stupid,” I mumbled, not looking up at him.
“Why? What happened?”
“It was literally so stupid, I can’t even explain it. I’m probably not going back.”
Brady didn’t say anything, but I could feel him staring at me. His phone was sitting on the coffee table next to me and it lit up, alerting him that he had a new text message. Instinctively I looked over to see who it was. Hailey. I threw a fit.
“Seriously?” I exclaimed. “Why are you still texting her? Do you really have such low self esteem that you need a college student to stroke your ego?”
Brady’s brow furrowed and he started to say something, but I cut him off.
“And messaging one of my closest friends, you are so slimy.”
“Your friend messaged me – about you! You should know that because you read it! Here, take my phone and read all my messages. You can have all my passwords so you can control everything because that’s clearly what you want! You can have it! I don’t fucking care!” Brady stood up and slammed his phone on the coffee table. “Hailey is texting me because one of my patients died. I don’t need her to stroke my ego, I don’t fucking care about her! God!”
Brady stormed off, leaving his phone. I guess he really was serious. I didn’t appreciate him screaming at me so I sat there pouting and refusing to follow him. His phone lit up a few more times: emails, ESPN, etc. Nothing/no one important. Eventually I called Tucker to go out for his final walk then we got in bed with Brady.
The next morning, I completely forgot about our fight and woke up looking for my boo. He wasn’t in bed so I got up and found him in the dining room. He was shirtless and wearing glasses, while working on his laptop.
“Wanna go get food?” I asked.
Brady was resting his chin in his hand and he didn’t look up or move as he said, “I don’t want to talk to you.”
Jeez. I spun on my heel and walked out, unsure of what to do. I showered and got dressed then sat on the bed. Kendra was having brunch with John and John’s sister and husband so I couldn’t call her to complain. Carly wasn’t exactly the best person to call since I haven’t spoken to her about anything other than wedding stuff for weeks. So I finally called Preston.
“Hey, my love,” he answered.
“I miss you. Let’s hang out,” I said.
“I wish I could, doll. I’m working right now.”
At that moment, Brady walked in. He glanced in my direction, but made a beeline for the bathroom.
“Let’s go out tonight though. My friend is having a party in Wicker,” Preston continued.
“I’m always down for Wicker Dicker,” I said, loud enough for Brady to hear.
After I got off the phone with Preston, I went shopping to find something to wear that evening. I wasn’t even in the mood to shop so I ended up putting on an oversized plaid shirt and super tight ripped up jeans that I had at home. I met Preston at his studio then we Ubered to the party.
It was just getting started when we arrived. The host was a burley looking guy who Preston informed me was a drug dealer. After being introduced to the host, the roommate came and introduced himself to me and Preston. His name was Tony. The first thing he said after introductions was, “That’s a god-awful name.”
Preston and I looked at each other then Tony said, “I’m sorry. I’m rolling.”
I didn’t understand what he meant by that until Preston said, “And you didn’t share?”
“I didn’t know anyone else would be interested,” Tony said.
Preston assured Tony that he was interested and Tony told him they could exchange the molly out on the balcony.
They began to walk away and Preston said, “Reese, are you coming?”
I shook my head. “No. I’ll wait for you here.”
I feel like they were gone forever, but maybe it was just because I was stuck talking to the drug dealer host guy who had nothing important to say.
Preston finally came back and he’d taken off all his top layers and was just wearing a thin tank top and his shorts.
“Reese, babe,” he sang. “We’re going dancing. [He started twerking]. Are you coming?”
It was only like 11:30 at this point so I figured why not. We walked with Tony and another one of the roommates to a club not far from their apartment. Preston was over the top flirting with Tony which I found entertaining because Tony was too out of his mind to even notice. Someone ordered shots of whiskey and we all danced and talked.
About an hour and a half later, I grabbed Preston’s arm and said, “Let’s go, I’m tired.”
Preston shrugged away from me. “You can go! I’m having fun!”
Even though I know Preston is capable of taking care of himself, I didn’t want to leave him with these two men neither of us really knew. So I stayed even though I was literally yawning and sitting on a bench. Preston was dancing in front of me and firing off questions at Tony, who was sitting next to me.
Eventually someone got the idea to go find food, which I was obviously down with so we walked to a nearby taco spot. I ordered a huge meal consisting of three beef tacos, a cheese quesadilla, rice and beans. It was fucking disgusting. I took one bite and vowed to never stray away from my diet again.
Finally, after we’d finished eating, it was 2:30 AM and Tony said he was going home.
“What’s your number? We have to do this again!” Preston said eagerly and shoved his phone in Tony’s face.
After they exchanged numbers, Tony said, “It was nice meeting you, Reese,” and hugged me.
Then he turned to Preston and shook Preston’s hand. Preston looked wounded.
Tony started walking home and Preston flagged down a cab.
“Bye, love! Let me know when you get home!” Preston said, kissing me on the cheek before running to get in his cab.
When I got home, Brady and Tucker were laying on the living room couch with all the lights off and the tv on. I walked in and sat at the end of the couch and Brady watched me. We just stared at each other for a moment. I called Tucker over to me and he bounded over.
“Your daddy’s mean,” I said to Tucker in a baby voice.
“Your mommy is too,” Brady said back in a normal voice.
I looked up at him and I started bawling. Because of course. I picked Tucker up and went to our room to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up and immediately called my mom to wish her a happy Mother’s Day. She had plans to go to dinner with my grandparents that night which made me happy that at least she wasn’t alone.
Brady wasn’t in bed so I got up to go find him. We hadn’t talked about anything and I wanted things to go back to normal. There was a light pink card standing on the nightstand. I picked it up and discovered that it was a Mother’s Day card signed from Brady and Tucker. Cried.
So things are fine now. We apologized and we are obsessed with each other again. Thank goodness. Having Brady give me the cold shoulder for a day and a half was not fun. Still waiting on that Facebook password though.
hot mess in high heels. 
so, did you ever ask him if he was ok after his patient died? i’m a healthcare worker as well and sometimes it hits you really hard, it’s hard to understand if you don’t work in that environment.
I didn’t.
Brittany sucks. She’s not your friend. That’s really unprofessional of Scott to talk about a subordinate with a subordinate. It seems like you are both different in your work styles and it seems to make him nervous.
yeah, I can’t understand why he would talk to Monica about me. I’m still annoyed about it.
Reese you’re a straight up bitch to Brady. You’re constantly snooping and then when he says his patient died you make it about you and storm off to mope. How about showing some empathy for someone besides yourself? You’re not a mom and the fact that you act like you deserve a gift and then Brady caves and you spend thousands shows how immature and irresponsible you are with his money. I feel for Brady because he is clearly not in the right state of mind and has zero support from his selfish, what can you do for me girlfriend. You should’ve been there for Brady but no life is all about Reese and what Reese wants. The tantrums when your a cold bitch need to stop. Brady needs to make a run for it and find someone who isn’t toxic for him.
what do you mean he’s not in his right state of mind? he is fine. and I didn’t storm off after our fight, he did.
Brady’s fine?!?! Are you in denial or do you have your rose colored glasses on? Seriously what he said to you about trying to control everything speaks volumes. You not even giving a fuck that his patient died and only thinking how unfair it is that he yelled at you which you deserve. No one can be in denial as much as you. Spending Brady’s money like that because you can? Seems your one of those women who only care about what they can get from someone and put zero effort in the other party. You show zero regard for Brady, his feelings, money, space etc but expect so much. As much as you claim that all is well I doubt it. Brady has deep seeded resentment towards you that’s creeping out. One day he’ll have enough of your crap. He listens to all your first world problems but you can’t be bothered with anything regarding him. I used to think you’ve grown but then you post shit like this and it’s the same selfish, money hungry Reese who can’t be bothered with anyone else. I feel sorry that you don’t even have the ability to be emphatic to a man you supposedly love.
no I do not have on rose colored glasses. Brady is fine and we are fine. we got in a horrible fight but we talked about it and made up. it happens. I don’t tell you guys about a lot of the good things that go on in out relationship so don’t think it’s all bad and fighting. I usually just need advice when we are going through tough times.
You’re fucking rude, Jenny. Brady didn’t even tell Reese about the patient until she called him out about Hailey. And another thing, just because Reese doesn’t actually have kids yet doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be celebrated on that day, especially if they both view Tucker like their “fur child” by your logic I guess women who have miscarried don’t deserve to be celebrated either.
Reese, Brittany is not your friend and she’s a bitch.
thank you Danielle
I’m so glad Brady flipped out like that. While you’ve made such progress you keep slipping back to old Reese and it’s about time Brady stood up for himself. Good for him.
🙄
I can’t even handle this blog anymore.
First of all, you are not a mother. You have a dog. If you do become a mother one day – you will realize that.
Second- you are awful to Brody. And he is an idiot for staying with you. You both bring out the worst in each other.
Third – of course Scott thinks you hate it at work, all you ever do is roll your eyes at meetings and give snarky comments whenever anyone asks you anything.
And lastly – the whole Brody giving you his credit card so you can buy your self things is ridiculous. Instead of spending this money on stupid shoes and purses, why not think about your future and save for a place for yourselves?
You always say you see a future with him but you’re treating him like he owes you something. Your relationship is completely one sided.
And I know you’ll probably just write “rude” or tell me that I’m so wrong or whatever – but I had to say it.
I don’t have any children, but i have a dog I take care of and I’ll celebrate Mother’s Day if I want. I have been saving for a place! you have no idea. I’ve probably cut my shopping by 75%. and I’m not going to call you rude or anything, you’re entitled to your opinion and I respect it.
Nooo Reese…you don’t get to celebrate mother’s day if you want to. Typically mothers day is a day that everyone appreciates the motherly character in their life. No mother actually chooses to celebrate appreaction for her.
Other than that, go to Scott. Don’t confront him but honestly be smug just like he is just say something like “by the way I never thanked you enough for such a great opportunity” bullshit the bullshitter. This will show him that you know and that you don’t care for him.
I completely disagree about Mother’s Day.
But who’s Brody? 😂😏 lol
lol my thoughts exactly. 🤔
I Rarely comment, but this post was hard to read. Brady is in a field where he’s treating people and possibly saving their lives, but he’s dating and in love with someone who won’t even ask if he’s ok after a patient death???
Idk- neither of u is perfect but wow- I don’t know how he (or you) could rationalize being with someone who is Soooooo different from himself. I personally don’t know anyone who could hear about a death and not ask about it, the way u didn’t. Yikes. But if u guys are both happy overall, I guess that’s what matters
he stormed off and didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day so I don’t know when I was supposed to ask. two people can be quite different but still be in love and able to be in a relationship
I think Brady screaming at you is good and I really hope you learned your lesson. While I don’t know if I necessarily believe that he’s texting Haley about work, at least he put you in your place. You can’t take out your anger about work on the person you supposedly love. If you keep this up you’re going to end up alone like your mother. Harsh but true.
The mother part? Ouch. That is kind of a low blow, don’t you think? lol
It’s not a low blow, it is the truth. Just trying to help.
it’s YOUR version of “the truth” – you don’t even know Reese’s mom well enough to know exactly what she is like. I just think it was pretty disrespectful and yes, “below the belt,” to say something like that. I do think Reese and Brady have some major work to do, but that comment about her mom was not necessary. And THAT is the actual truth.
you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
remember the Alamo!
This post killed me! 😥
Like, half my family, including my parents, are in the medical field so my heart is wrenching for Brady 😦
Other than that, I never know whether or not to make up a solid opinion about the relationship and whatnot, because I never know whether I’m only getting a glimpse of your life, or your life in its entirety. Judging by past comments, I think we’re only getting a glimpse (?), so relationship dynamics is hard to pinpoint, and because of that, I’m always careful of what I say in the comments.
Although I must say, the card Brady wrote was super-sweet. With Tucker and all, that’s so cute! ❤ And I totally saw the Valentino you bought from Net-A-Porter on your twitter and it's soooooo pretty! :O My birthday's in October; Rag&Bone booties…you know, just in case you decide to feel generous 😉 lol 😛
Soul
P.S. What's this diet you're raving about? Spill! 😛
y’all do only get a small part of our relationship!
I’m sorry but the comments piss me off more than the blog itself. As much as you have some things to work on, you have grown a lot. I have been following since the start and it’s clear that you are in a way better place. You definitely have some things to work on but don’t we all? I can see why you acted the way you did when Brady’s phone lit up with Hailey’s name. I also see why Brady reacted the way he did. I do think that it is a very immature relationship. It is evident that the both of you love each other very much but if you want to make this last you need to start trusting him and treating him with more respect.
Drop Brittany ASAP. She is not your friend.
I’m a mother and couldn’t care less if you “celebrate” Mother’s day. Doesn’t take away from my day and you can do as you please. To the commenters up there telling you that you can’t celebrate a day. HAHAHAHAH. They are being dramatic and are taking things personal for no reason.
Lastly, people need to realize that you write things from your perspective and they are not there 100% of the time. A lot of the comments I read are pure ASSUMPTIONS versus the reality. It’s annoying.
AGREE 10000000000000000000000000000000000000%. You said everything in this comment to Reese that I couldn’t put into my own words. Perspective is key.
yes!
Reese, I believe youre a nice person but I think u have to become more self aware, less selfish & more considerate of people’s feeling. I feel like since when you started your blog til now there has been no character development. You have got to grow up, this sort of antics aren’t cute anymore.
lol, she’s a real person. real people don’t always have “character development.” if you don’t feel like reading her blog, don’t.
lol, she’s a real person. real people don’t always have “character development.” if you don’t like reading her blog, don’t.
this! thank you girl lol
CRAZYwhat some people value in “life”…Reese should find a neighbor to hang with now that Brady moved
on
Wait? Did I miss a post?
As much as Brady hates the outcome of this tale, he knows it best to start a new beginning. It’s a shame, because he feels like he lost the ONE.
I’ve been reading your blog since the beginning! literally love you! After reading these comments I HAD to comment (for the first time ever). I get really testy with my boyfriend about messages and stuff too, but I find it usually has to do with the timing of when its coming through! Having that issue with Brittany.. then his phone going off with a message from ANOTHER girl, would’ve set me off too especially if I was in a bad mood to begin with! I honestly don’t know how you do it, my boyfriend has girl friends, but I’ve met all of them, and they have actual bonds. If there were ever messages between one of my friends and my boyfriend, it better be something to do with a surprise for me or I’d be pissed because why are they talking about me without letting me know? If my boyfriends friends message me, I say like “oh guess who messaged me today” so I totally know where you’re coming from. Obviously it’s not the most stable way to be, and in some way or another there is some trust issues there. I can’t blame you though, one week your commenters are saying Brady is cheating, the next week their mad because your snooping.
We rarely hear about you going on spending sprees anymore. And every one is entitled to their off days. I think you’ve grown an INCREDIBLE amount since you started this blog. Everyone has selfish moments, and it takes a lot of courage to write about it on a blog where you know you’re going to get ripped apart. At the end of the day, you’re telling us honestly about your life, whether it exposes your faults or not. Kudos to you!
P.S my boyfriend and I have a cat, and your damn right I celebrated Mother’s Day! Fur mamas unite 🙂
literally love you too!! and thank you for the comment!
Did someone mention Reese’s neighbor?
I’m confused also.
I am too.
First, as much as I disagree with comments saying that you shouldn’t be celebrating Mothers’ Day because you don’t have kids (they actually make Mothers’ Day cards for ‘puppy moms’), I think it is ridiculous that you told Brady to buy you a present and then spent $6,000 on yourself! I would never accept a gift like that, let alone pick it out for myself with someone else’s credit card. I think you take advantage of his kindness.
Secondly, I don’t get why when people are calling you out for being insensitive about his patient, your response is that you couldn’t check how he was doing or say anything because he walked away and what else were you supposed to do. You could have followed him and apologized! You could have said something along the lines of “Brady, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize! How are you? Is there anything I can do?” Even if he was mad, he would have at least appreciate that you cared. I agree with the other comments. You only think about what he can do for you. This whole post pointed that out.
as soon as I spent the money I emailed Brady to make sure it was okay and he was okay with it. when’s the last time he even bought me anything? I’m not taking advantage. I’m not good at being there for ppl when someone dies or something bad happens. I’m working on it.
So you’re saying that it was ok to spend that much because Brady hasn’t spent any money on presents for you recently? That’s a very entitled thing to say. Especially since Christmas was only five months ago. He was probably ok with it because in the past when he’s questioned it you’ve fought.
it’s okay because he said it was okay. it’s not like I bullied him into it, he’s a grown man he can say no if he wants to
I’m here for you Reese. You don’t need Brady anyways. We have more in common.
except i know you normally like them married with kids. we still have a lot in common
I won the game, got what i wanted and rode into the sunset as superbowl mvp. what game did you win reese?
There are a lot of opinions on this post – some of which I agree with (you really do need to be supportive of Brady when he brings home something like his patient dying). ALTHOUGH, I find it very odd that the young girl he texts with who works in the gift shop (not in a clinical area where she would otherwise naturally be privy to things like this) knows that he is dealing with the death of one of his patients before you do. They clearly are in more contact than he lets on and maybe that’s because he gets the empathy he needs elsewhere. Something to think about.
yep. completely agree
Reese call me. love thy neighbor
Reese, call me too. I really do love you (and my wife)
It’s been a while since I commented but after reading all of the comments I have a few thoughts.
First, it’s totally between you and Brady if you want to celebrate Mothers Day. I would hope that you plan to celebrate Father’s Day as well and give him a similarly nice gift. That would be the fair thing to do and an opportunity for you to show Brady how much you and tucker appreciate him.
Second, I totally understand the urge to snoop. However things seem different now. He’s not as secretive and he leaves his phone out. Clearly he knows that you can access all of his accounts and he wouldn’t do those things if he had something to hide. Don’t put yourself in a position to have to hide anything either. You’ve come a long way since meeting guys on planes and getting gifts from random guys that want to bang you. It has to go both ways so don’t expect him to be less secretive if you can’t do the same.
Lastly don’t let work get you down so much. It’s a job not everything. Do what you need to do and stay out of the drama. Who cares who talks about you, you can’t control that. You can only control how well you do your job. Rise above it.
of course I’ll do something nice and cute for Brady for Father’s Day. suggestions are needed! thank you
I think Brady needs to relax and unwind a bit. Why don’t you ask go to let you know when he has a completely free weekend and go stay at a hotel with amazing spa facilities. You can get a couples massage and unplug for the weekend. Try not to get too drunk. It can be a timeout you guys to spend some quality time together.
That sounds like a great idea but why would Brady even consider going after he’s been cheated on and lied to for months.
lol ok
I’d love to. Waiting on a personal invite.
Bet it doesn’t cost anywhere close to 6k. So gross
you never know
do you have any idea how much I spent on his Christmas gift?
Geeze people are so mean and opinionated. So here’s mine 😉 Just because yours and Brady’s relationship doesn’t look like anyone else’s doesn’t mean that it is a failure or that it isn’t right. If it works for the two of you, it works.
Brady has given you free reign of his credit card before, he knows the implications of handing it over. It is obviously something that works for the two of you.
I don’t think you’re heartless. I think you were upset about something that seriously bothers you in your relationship. So when Brady mentioned his dying patient and stormed out…it caught you off guard. You’re not perfect…no one is. But I’ve said it before…I think you sincerely have the best intentions.
My thoughts on Brady talking to other people. He’s not going to stop. It’s in his makeup. So you have to ask yourself whether or not it is an aspect of Brady you can accept and be comfortable with. If not, find a man that you don’t have to explain this concept to over and over again. If you decide you can accept it, then drop it and never mention it again.
Oh. And seriously. the Mother’s day tantrums people are throwing. fucking celebrate however you want. Declare yourself a mom. Puppies take a lot of love. People need to get explore outside their boxed ideas.
I should stop caring that Brady is texting and messaging other people, but I can’t. I know he’s nice and sweet and I don’t want him treating anyone else like that. I know it’s ridiculous and selfish but it’s how I feel. I literally want all of him to myself.
A lot of sound advice on the message board if only it was applied in the real world. Who wants to read about their future wife be banged by a married man
#DogMomsForLife
I want to like you Reese, I really do that’s why I keep reading your blog because somewhere deep down I think you’re a good person. However, we rarely see too many glimmers of that person.
I think it’s only fair that since you more or less demanded a present for Mother’s Day that you get Brady something equally as nice. You can do it! Tucker is his fur baby too.
I think Brady needs you to be more understanding and not always trying to control everything in his life. You’ve made so many mistakes but he’s moved on and forgave you. You continue to read his private messages and throw tantrums. What should you have done after Brady stormed off upset and knowing his patient died? How about following him to gather more info instead of feeling sorry for yourself. How about asking him the following morning or apologizing for your tantrum? It’s not that hard to show him you care but you don’t make an effort.
With work you talk about rolling your eyes, you snippy convos and of course skipping out to get your hair done and not returning. What else would your boss think.
I want you to like me too, but if you don’t, I understand and I can’t help it
and I do not control everything in his life at all
First, I think you snapped so hard about Hailey because you’re pissed about the Brittany situation. Time for a lunch date with both of them to get the point across that any other contact is unacceptable, she’s supposed to be your friend and she’s acting shady. I hope you saved that snap to show him how she’s making it look, do it in front of her. Call her out on her behavior, she asked for it!
Second, I have kids and I’ve had pets and kids are easier to raise. Kids can be potty trained, you will always have to pick up poop from a pet. Celebrate but reciprocate or it’s just being selfish. And stop talking about how much you spend, it’s no one’s business and it’s unflattering.
Last, talk to Scott to let him know that you’re hearing things regarding his concern for you and he needs to talk to you if he thinks there’s a problem. That’s how office gossip starts.
trust me, I will not tell y’all what I buy anymore
It’s fine to talk about it, but you don’t need to drop brand names or tell people what you spent – it’s your business.
Seriously, how much money do you guys make you can drop $6000 on a Mother’s Day present for yourself and not even blink. I just don’t get it.
I agree. My fiance has a similar job to Brady (pharmacist) at a hospital’in NYC and makes about $140k/year. After taxes and 401k contributions, etc., he brings home about $6k a month. Our cost of living is a lot higher here but still I don’t understand how you can spend as much as you. I make a low-six-figure salary as well and cannot fathom spending so much when we have a wedding to plan, future kids to take care of and put through college, and buying our own home. We’ve read about you crazy extravagant shopping sprees and how much you spend. It does come off as bragging but maybe that’s just my opinion. Whatever. Saying above that it’s okay to spend that much because Brady hasn’t bought you anything in a while? A relationship should be based on love, respect and equality. The material items aren’t an indication of love. How many cheating husbands (not saying Brady is cheating…I don’t think he is) have bought their wives diamonds, cars, houses, etc to compensate?
I was thinking the same thing. Even if Brady makes $100,000+ a year, he can’t afford to randomly drop that much money on a pair of shoes. No one does that except maybe the Kardashians. I Wouldn’t be surprised if he was a drug dealer.
he’s not a drug dealer, shut up.
hahahahahahaha @the drug dealer part. don’t forget Brady is a trust fund baby who doesn’t spend that much money, plus I’m assuming his parents have added and generously put extra money when they felt like it.
Lmao. Relax. Just because you don’t have Reese’s spending habits doesn’t mean that Brady is a drug dealer or she is a gold digger or whatever else you are insinuating (or outright saying). She makes good money. He makes good money. They are young and like to spend it. Who are you to judge what she spends her money on? She can celebrate Mother’s Day if she wants. She can buy things if she wants. Let this girl live.
Personally, I like the shopping posts. It’s nice to see what you get-even if your purchases are way way out of my range 😉
I’m in no way trying to brag. I enjoy fashion and love discussing it with you guys. if it’s an issue, I won’t talk about it anymore. people say they like reading about my clothes and stuff but if it’s going to offend everyone, I won’t.
Right??? 6k?!
Right??? 6k?! It just seems so irresponsible even if they do make a lot. Materialism at its finest

I’m not judging. I just don’t get it. My fiance and I make good money too, but I still can’t fathom spending that kind of cash on such frivolous items. Again, though, they’re frivolous to me only and I can have that opinion as much as Reese can spend freely.
Agreed!!!
bahahah the comments on this blog are so funny. Reese spent money…bad girl. Reese talked to a man….bad girl. Reese celebrated Mothers Day…how dare she!! Jesus people, get a life or at least stop bashing Reese for living hers. If you don’t like the way she lives it perhaps find a different site? It kind of shows how stupid people are – they seem to hate Reese and everything she stands for yet continue to read the blog and comment. I guess they have a God complex and assume their criticism is going to “cure” her. This should be an entertaining blog when we read about her weekly quilting nights and how she got her dishes so clean!
THANK YOUUUUUU
She spent someone else’s money. She gets mad at her man when she does worse. And the kicker…. She puts it out there for people to read. With a comment section. So why is everyone shocked that people comment….and test those comments are harsh?
Because no one is forcing you to read. You don’t have any obligation to. Reese has said herself that she started this blog to evaluate her own life and get feedback, but that shouldn’t mean that she’s torn apart because she makes different choices. Yes, she’s selfish sometimes and makes different choices than I would, but I don’t think that’s an invitation for people to bash her in ways that (I’m SURE) no one would say to her face.
I agree she is putting it out there but if something annoyed me that much I would walk away as long as it didn’t effect me directly. The only reason I choose to comment on the negativity is because it does effect me— I don’t want Reese to stop posting because I love this blog. Its ok to disagree with things she does but being downright rude and miserable because she celebrated Mothers Day? Seriously? Im fighting infertility right now and even I don’t find that offensive. Perhaps Brady sees Reese as motherly to him in some aspects…certainly appears he never got warmth and affection from his own mom! Either way its just funny how worked up people get. If someone wants to stop reading just stop reading and go elsewhere. No need for a song and dance on the way out (PS this wasnt directed to you..just the commenters in general)
I just don’t see how it matters what Reese spends her/her SO’s money on. Why does this concern anybody else? Would *I* personally spend $6000 on a stupid bag and a pair of shoes? HELL no. I would rather take a nice vacation [or two or three] every year (and I do!). But just because I want to spend my money like that, doesn’t mean Reese does. To each their own. That’s the beauty of being in control of YOUR own finances…. you can buy whatever the fack you want. 😉
M.Y.O.B.
M.Y.O.B???

Hi Soul!!!! It’s “Mind Your Own Business” 🙂 hahah
Heeeeyyyy!!! ❤
Ohhhh lol I'm so bad with on-trend acronyms lol. I was like "something-your-own-beer???" lol 😛
Maybe Reese is just looking to justify her home wrecking, cheating, lies, manipulation by speculating on the spending. Maybe he had a gift to give from a recent wedding and confirmation and split costs of accommodations. Either way she can neverb e trusted again. Hear she has a hot neighbor though, maybe she can let his hands down her pants
You know what I hear? Education is in. Maybe you can get some before you comment. Learn how to spell. Or better yet, learn how to change your writing and tonal patterns between all the comments you made if you want to act like all these comments didn’t come from the same person. Only changing the name doesn’t help.
Consider this your first lesson free of charge 🙂
While I agree soul. Your blog often has errors so……..
Thank you for your input.
Please start writing about our advanetures
Please consider another purpose in life other than whatever it is you and your “friends” are doing here.
🙂
miss you!
Hey Reese, do you still have my number…lol – i put in your phone after we met that guy
wanna go home with me.
Hey Reese, still have my number lol? wanna go home with me wink wink
Reese, wanna go home with me, said to not your bf
WHAT IF……
Please stop writing about Brady/ It’s super creepy. Write about Andy and his trusting fingers
LOL, didn’t know that spelling counts. I hear cheating is in fashion.
I’m not trying to be anonymous. I want it to be known who I am. get it. there is nothing to save now just wish you would stop hacking me and move on to and or krill again
What’s with the weird trolls posting? Keep doing you Reese.
I miss tucker!
Lol Robin, Shannon, Andy, Dave K, Peyton, Marty and Andrea, you do realize that everyone can see you’re the same person, right? All of the icons next to your names are the same.
See? Same email, different name, same icon. Can this stop now?
I’ve been commenting for ages. My phone just went crazy.
If this was in response to my comment, no no didn’t mean you. I meant the trolls talking about the ‘neighbour’ and Reese cheating etc. I just thought it was funny but creepy they were all commenting weird things under different names when it’s clearly the same person lol.
Damn Reese you must be doing something right to get all these people fired up. I think the purse Brady bought you is cute and it’s his money. He made the choice to give you his card. As my boyfriend always says “life is for the living.” You write a fun blog, I’m sure you have a 401k and investments but would that make for exciting reading? It’s called knowing your audience – which you do well, except people are creepily passionate about telling you how to live.
Brady is a grown man with an advanced degree, an intellectual family, a solid financial background and enjoys that Reese brings smarts, fun and other things to the table. Can we assume they can make decisions together w out jumping to the conclusion that Reese is somehow controlling him?
Umm Reese has said in previous posts that she has outstanding credit card debt that she pays off weekly. Doesn’t seem financially wise to drop so much money when you can’t afford it. It just seems like an insecure woman buying things for validation. Brady didn’t buy Reese the bag, she bought it for herself with his money.
Lol you sound more insecure than Reese does. Didn’t realize buying nice things for yourself translates to insecurity + need for validation.
Also. I really feel like Brady may be thinking about proposing. His response to when you confronted him about Britney makes it seem like he really was just talking to them about you (in a positive way) and you did see her send a picture of a ring to him.
She’s paying off the debt weekly – anyone know understands a payment system knows the means she’s making more than the once a month minimum payment. Can the haters give it a break? All this energy to someone you don’t even know, woof.
do you understand how this works? Making payments and racking up more debt, even if your paying more than the minimum, means that once the crazy interest has been added you’ll be paying so much more for an item which you used once or twice. Does that make sense to you? Lemme buy a pair of jimmy choo’s for $1k put it on my credit card and make payments for a few months. Doesn’t matter than by the time I finish paying off for it it would cost me $1200 and now those shoes are so last season. You mention she pays off her debt weekly? You know this because? She has multiple cards maxed out so paying one a week makes sense. It doesn’t matter if Reese is a statistic of financial irresponsibility with no care for the future, she’s the one that has to deal with that. Not me or anyone else. I know what it’s like to spend like that because you don’t see further than today and then losing my high paying job because of the economy and struggling to make ends meet. Not saying this will happen to Reese, I hope it doesn’t. But people need to think about the future and not just instant gratification.
People aren’t haters because the state their truth just like your not drinking the kool aid because you defend Reese blindly. Instead of coming at other commenters how about staying your opinion on the post. You’re spending so much energy defending someone you don’t know, how about following your own advice?
I have no way to know the inner workings of her finances – this is a blog so I don’t think it would be realistic to think I would. I actually agree with you that cultivating credit debt is dangerous, incredibly so to future plans, however where I disagree is that I don’t think I have any idea of the state of her personal finances.
So many strange comments. Reese’s finances shouldn’t be anyone else’s concerns. She’s been dating Brady for awhile so he knows how much she typically spends, her shopping habits, and interests in certain brands names. He’s purchased items that other readers usually find expensive as well. Plus it’s their relationship and if he’s okay with this then great! Reese was angry about Brittany in the moment and when she saw a message from Hailey, she just couldn’t control herself. It’s an emotion she felt and reacted to. People can’t always be in perfect control and just know how to handle everything. When Brady mentioned that a patient died, that sucks and sounds horrible. Definitely should have asked and showed concern in the moment. Personally I’m a little awkward when it comes to the topic of death. If I miss the chance to immediately show concern, I would try to just stay nearby and take their minds off the event and not even mention it.
I do think Reese has grown a lot though and everyone is just nitpicking at things that aren’t even important. She went out with Preston and didn’t get shit faced, there was no drama! Yay 😀
I started reading some of these comments just to see other peoples opinions but I honestly gave up for many reason and one main one being the weird people who keep commenting strange shit, are they all different people all just one?
I never thought of celebrating Mother’s Day because I have fur babies but come Mother’s Day next year, I’m in!
You’ve stated that this blog is your real, actual life with real life events. We are hearing your side of things and not the full story. We don’t know what happened for Brady, we don’t know what happened during your apologies. Some people are saying that you should have followed him after he stated his patient had died, I saw that you said you’re not good at supporting people and hell, I’m not either. I would have sat there on the couch going ‘oh fuck what do I do now, how do I be helpful in this situation?’
I may not have been with you since the start but I have read all the updates since the start and I have seen the growth in you, remember everyone is allowed to have mistakes and fall into old habits every now and then and if the next post shows you improving yourself again then I will believe this was the situation.
I wrote the truth before but not on this site. Forver
