BEGINNING A RELATIONSHIP

 

 

I pulled the phone closer to my desk. I'm right on the verge of calling my boyfriend to ask him how to file for bankruptcy. He will be floored. He doesn't have a clue about my financial problems. We have been dating for the last six months and I have been completely honest about everything else. I thought nothing about telling him about my previous relationships, down to the last detail, but when it came to finances I was terrified. I guess it's because I saw how my parents squabbled over money. I think it's also because he's so good with his finances. I know it's a major stumbling block for some couples and, in some cases, the breaking point. I think it's obvious I didn't say anything because this relationship means so much to me. I would be absolutely devastated if it ended. It's true what they say about someone making you a better person. I have become a much more compassionate, conscientious and caring person since I've met him. At the very start of our relationship, we always said we were going to tell each other the truth about everything. I don't know how he'll take the news, but I know it's just something that has to be done. Here goes nothing! Gulp!
