Yes, in my experience, involving money in relationships usually ends badly.
Example: I lent my ex €1000—we were in a relationship at the time—and when I started to ask when I would get my money back after a few months (iirc), she started to get defensive.
I fortunately did get my money back at some point, but not my relationship, lol.

I don't know why she broke up with me, she never told me.
But I assume our communication issues were definitely high on the list.

I will only ever lend money to friends again if they can tell me exactly when they’ll pay me back (it can also happen in installments). And if they can’t pay me back on time, I expect them to tell me in advance and give me a new deadline. If they still can’t pay me back, I expect a very good explanation; else I’m done with them.
But I’m not sure it’s worth the risk, so maybe I just shouldn’t do it and should help them in other ways instead.
There’s a reason credit scores exist.

And for that reason, if I become wealthy, I won't tell anyone and I'll try not to show it. The latter may be harder. I'm in r/FIRE, which despite all its ills, teaches that one thing well.
One of the most obvious signs (and greatest benefits) of wealth is retirement. The usual advice is to tell people you're a freelancer working from home, a portfolio manager or something like that.
there is no lending in a relationship. only gifts from her point of view.
