I moved in with my boyfriend because I didn't like my neighbors at my apartment. One was a sex offender who had made inappropriate sexual comments towards my son. We talked about this for about a month before I moved in. I was worried that we might not get along. He told me that if that were the case, he would give me time to save money and get my own place again. That has changed. A couple of months ago, I told him I only wanted to be roommates and I needed to save my money to get my own place. He said if we were only roommates, he would expect a higher contribution to the bills.

I work only part-time due to my mental illness, and bring in about $200 per week. My name is also on the car loan because the dealership said my credit was better and would make the payments lower.

So I am pretty much stuck for now. Trying to make the best of it.
