He started a business with a food truck and says he will pay me back and not to worry.
Well, hes only giving me $300 each month, and $160 goes to interest.
He lives with me and only pitches in $300 for rent and $200 for bills.
If you have more than $1,000 in your checking account,make these moves.
The rent is $1,000.
Yet I havent seen any proof in the form of denial letters.
I dont fully trust him, therefore I havent been able to tell him I love him.
He tells me every day that he loves me.
With crypto, he had me invest $40,000 and assured me he knew what he was doing.
Well, its down to $2,000.
I hate to argue or have discussions because hes never clear with me.
He also owes me $900 cash because he is behind on rent and bills.
What should I do?
Listen to your gut instead.
You know you cant trust your boyfriend.
You know hes sucked nearly $50,000 out of you over three years.
The bleeding will only continue if you stay.
I think you know what you should do: You should end this relationship.
