So I recently found out that my boyfriend of a decade is in $80,000 of secret credit card debt.

I knew he had 40 grand in student loans that he was slowly paying off.

And he recently asked me to co-sign on a hundred thousand dollar helot on his home that he owns.

My name is not on it, but I do live there.

I've only lived there about last two years.

Oh, my gosh.

So then he can pay off that credit card debt because he has maxed out every card and is pretty much at the end of his rope.

How did you find out about this?

He hit the end of the rope.

Oh, man.

What is his addiction?

Cars.

He runs his own classic car restoration shop, and I thought he was making more money than he was.

Apparently, he wasn't. He was leveraging most of it on credit cards.

He is excellent at what he does, but he is not good at the business side of things.

He sees a car. He wants, he gets it. He cycles through like three or four sports cars a year.

Hmm. Interesting. Yeah, he sees, he sees a build. He buys it. He builds it. He builds it. He sells it. Repeat, repeat, repeat. So you definitely told him you're not signing, co-signing the $100,000. Yeah, he lock, right? Because if he takes one of those sports cars and wraps her on a telephone pole, I'm stuck with his

debt for the rest of my life.

Yeah, that's one way to put it.

For context, I did not live with him for the majority of our relationship.
