Love, Health and Marriage: I'm a burden

I'm a burden

By Anonymous - 24/01/2023 08:30 - United States - Highland

Today, my boyfriend of almost five years told me, due to health issues, he can't move in with me or propose to me. He knows I support him, but if it was a serious health issue, wouldn't he want to be married, knowing I'm there? FML

Storage wars

Today, my boyfriend of almost 5 years told me that his reason for staying with me is because he doesn't want to go through our storage unit to decide who would get what. We've had the storage unit for 2 years. FML

Take the hints

Today, my boyfriend declared he doesn't feel ready to move in with me for at least "some more years". We have already been together for five years. When he bought an apartment one year ago, he kept it a secret for three months. Maybe I should learn to take a hint. Or several hints. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go out with him because I was having a fat day. After ten minutes of fighting, he threw a ring box on the floor and stormed out. I basically refused his proposal because of my body issues. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, saying he had to move away to be with his dad, who's just been diagnosed with cancer. After talking to his sister, I discovered that not only is his dad healthy, he's not moving away either; he's just gotten back with his ex. FML

Today, after months of planning, my boyfriend told me he's changed his mind and doesn’t want to move with me to where I got a job. Why? He doesn’t want to live that far away from his mother. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 6 years told me that since I've proven my loyalty and faithfully stuck by his side, he has no reason to ever consider marrying me, because "It's not like you're going anywhere, honey." He seems not to understand why I am upset by this. FML

Today, I've been bedridden for the past two weeks. My boyfriend casually remarked that he understands now why some people cheat on their seriously-ill partners. Thanks for adding to the stress, sweetie. FML

You are dating for 5 years and he is not able to move to the "next level" of your relationship due to a health issue he can not discuss with you? Let me put a big BS flag on this. You should assume that he is not ready, for whatever reason, to either move in together and/or to marry and the health issue is - mostly - an excuse.

OP, you remind me of my friend. She went on a Tinder date and saw a ring on the guy's finger. However, he told her not to worry as he's not married. Apparently, it's his male friend's ring and he simply put it on so that it doesn't get lost while the friend's in the army (yes, I know...) Guess what - she believed him.

SSI payments are canceled if you have a long-term relationship, common-law marriage, or marriage with anyone. He can't move in or marry you because he'd lose his income, and you'd have to support both of you.
