A netizenn shared how she feels embarassed that she is dating a Grab driver, saying that she “can’t possibly be dating a PDH (Private Hire Driver).”

She said that he lied to her when he got his new Honda Vezel, and found out that it was being used for Grab when she saw the PHV sticker.

She added that she feels embarrassed when her neighbours and security guard see that she takes the “same Grab” every day.

The woman then asked what she should do, as people will call her materialistic if she breaks up with her boyfriend for being a Grab driver, but she doesn’t want to “go out and get dirty glances from people” when she steps out of the Grab car with the PHV sticker.

Here is what she said

Recently I found out that my boyfriend lied to me. In March, he surprised me with a new car, a Honda Vezel Hybrid. I thought he was capable to buy his first car at the age of 27. As a new financial consultant, he told me that he closed a few high profile cases and this helped him to purchase his first vehicle.

Unfortunately for him, private hire vehicles require them to paste a decal. It was only after a friend pointed out to me that his car was used for Grab as it had a private hire decal. Furious, I confronted him on whether the car was purchased to which he sheepishly admitted it was a rental.

How can I continue to trust such a man? How am I supposed to spend a lifetime with a habitual liar?

Every night now when he drops me home, I’m quite embarrassed as my neighbours and the security guard can see that I take the “same Grab” everyday. Even my parents have remarked before that I have been coming home in a grey Vezel often (they don’t know about him).

What should I do? As a graduating student, I can’t possibly be dating a PHD (Private Hire Driver) right? It is akin to dating a comfort cabbie.

I’m afraid if I break up with him, people will view me as materialistic. But on the other hand, I really don’t want to go out and get dirty glances from people when we step out of a new car with a private hire decal? What should I do?

Many thanks for hearing my heart out.

Editor’s note: You should definitely break up with him, you don’t deserve him.
