Look for a one-bedroom for just yourself. Break the lease. Next time, talk about finances before moving in together.
You’re right. I lived with a previous boyfriend and never had these issues. I thought a 45-year-old man would be more responsible. Lesson learned.
The red flag was him still having student loans at 45.
How long did he hide the debt? 50k in credit card debt is wild. What’s his income?
We’ve been together almost two years, living together for six months. He hinted at debt when we first looked at the apartment, but I thought it was just student loans and a car payment. We both signed the lease, and now it’s all on me to pay. His salary is $115,000.
That’s a huge red flag. $55,000 in credit card debt doesn’t just happen. What else is he hiding?
I use a credit card for my monthly expenses but pay it off every month. I thought he was doing the same, but he’s just letting the debt grow.
Remember, he’s just your boyfriend, not your husband. Don’t let his debt become your problem.
