I need help here. Is she in the wrong, or am I? I browse this sub a ton and am seeing so many people making x1000 on earnings plays, so I know there's potential. But I also know that bad plays can make you lose everything.
I've been trading for about 6 months, but something happened recently which became the last straw for my gf. Her father is very supportive, and decided to pay for our trip to Greece (he gave us roughly $6k). In the end, we didn't use all of it. My gf insisted we give the rest back to her daddy, and I said it was the right play. However, AMZN was having its earnings and I didn't want to miss out. I thought we could make bank, give the remainder back to her father, and we could have a little extra for ourselves. So I used it all on AMZN calls. Went to 0 real quick.
So now my gf has been mad as hell at me, but why? Her father gave us that money to spend on our trip, he didn't expect to be getting any back. I was trying to do something good for all of us, and I happened to screw up. Now she's refusing to come over. I even drove over to her place with my guitar and tried to serenade her with an apology. She said that until I close my Robinhood account for good, she's done sleeping with me. I don't think that's fair.
What should I do? Can y'all have my back here?
EDIT: Totally legit and indisputable proof that this is 100% real
