Her Boyfriend Wants Her To Pay The Taxes He Owes So He Can Avoid Going To Jail
Five years ago, this 32-year-old woman’s 38-year-old boyfriend started a new business. Over the years, he has not been paying state taxes, and he’s been hiding that from her.
Well, now she knows the truth, and the money he owes is so much that he can go to jail for three years over this.
Her boyfriend has gotten a lawyer to help him, but there’s only one way out of doing time: he has to pay back the entire amount of money.
“I’m at my wits’ end,” she explained. “We share a rented house together with our toddler, and I have already helped him countless times so his business would be successful.”
“I have thousands of dollars of equipment currently tied to my credit for his business, and because of his missing payments previously, it has damaged my credit.”
There are thousands of dollars charged to her credit cards to help him with payments he can’t afford to make.
Her boyfriend has borrowed money not only from her but from close to every person in his family, yet it’s never enough. He constantly pleads with her to give him more.
Last year, he stopped paying the bills for his utilities, so that all got shut off. She was left having to pay hundreds of dollars to get the utilities turned back on, and she had to go to her parents for financial help.
She and her boyfriend are not rich by any means, but they always manage to find a way to make it work.

“I never try to go above my means, but I’ve already sacrificed so much for him,” she said. “It would he a different case if he was a nice, loving person, but he’s not. He’s always the victim, and he will sweet talk and demand until he gets his way.”
She has attempted to leave her boyfriend multiple times, but since they have a toddler, she thinks it’s best for her to sit tight until her son is in school. Her boyfriend is a wonderful dad, but he is not reliable in the least.
But anyway, back to the money her boyfriend owes in state taxes. She actually can help him, but she doesn’t want to. She has no interest in having to cover those payments, which will destroy her credit score.
Also, her boyfriend has destroyed her trust beyond repair by not being honest about this. He always promises everything will be great, but it’s not.
All of her loved ones think she should let her boyfriend pay the price for his actions and then leave him behind.
“I may struggle initially, but at least I won’t have to worry about the next crisis he’s about to bring down on us,” she continued.
“But I feel so guilty. I don’t know what to do. I dread going home from work to see him because I know he will try to guilt and beg me.”
“I feel sad for my child since he will start school without his dad. I just don’t know what to do. Should I help him, or should I let him suffer the consequences I could have prevented?”
