"He was [supposed] to be my future husband and we were [supposed] to be together for the rest of our lives."

"They believe I’ll never truly trust him again, and that’s no foundation for a marriage."

You would think he'd know better.

"Do I just give up on the idea of marriage and kids altogether and just be happy I found a good guy?"

"He even used the words ‘less than.’"

"He also had the gifts delivered to his parents house, and asked them to hide them and not mention it because ‘I would get angry’ [and] they agreed."

Wow, she's so quirky and unique!

"Should I just settle and help him pay his debts off/accept that this is what's happening and stay with him? Or try to detach and take steps back and live separately until he can get a grip on his financial situation?"

“My life was easier when I was a single mom.”

You shouldn't have to “earn” the respect of someone who claims they love you.

“I'm not saying he's a bad guy, it's just that I'm not comfortable with my boyfriend having such a close female best friend, especially when I thought I was his best friend.”

You are not your boyfriend's sugar mama.

“I've never been allowed to sit on my porch with just my husband. I can’t talk to him for more than 15 seconds before she runs over with her dog.”

“He came back inside and asked if I was done having a tantrum.”

Don't let your boyfriend keep you from meeting your husband, ladies

“He tried to act like I’m heartless for not caring about her feelings rather than trying to see where I’m coming from.”
