My last relationship was such a nightmare. When I met Alex, I really thought that it was just one of those things that was meant to be. He didn't have a lot of money, and claimed that his last girlfriend had blown his credit rating. I felt for him but was a little leery of getting involved with someone who wasn't financially stable. Don't get me wrong, I am a student, but still I had decent credit and a decent part time job and everything was really going smoothly. After a few months of dating, I decided to let him move in because he needed a place to stay. I only had a full sized bed and decided that if he was going to move in that we really needed at least a queen. I looked around a little and then took him shopping with me, and what started as a shopping trip looking for a new mattress and box spring, turned into a purchase of bedroom furniture with modern design. I don't even know exactly how it happened, but right before my eyes, he was looking at high quality modern furniture for the whole apartment. Finally I reeled him in and told him that honestly I just couldn't afford all this right now. He said that he understood, but then he took me to a place that had discounted modern furniture for less and he convinced me that if I bought us a new bedroom suite that he would buy us a new living room set. Well, needless to say that never happened. Then I found out that he really wasn't working. Every night he would leave for work and go hang with his friends.
I really don't know how I could have been so stupid. Don't get me wrong, I kept the bedroom set when I threw him out, but still, I can't believe that I let him string me along. Beware of men who don't have credit, if allowed to they will ruin your credit rating as well.
