So yea.. I've posted some of my turmoil lately. Well, I broke once again today...

Here's a list of all that's happened in the past 2.5 months.

1. Pit puppy was stolen
2. Boyfriend's SOB friend (Matt) came back into out lives, making him harder to reach and more influenced to trouble (and trust me he really doesn't need the influencing)
3. Matt needed money. He wrote me a check for 50$. They pulled it out of my account. By the time I was able to deposit the check, it bounced bc they were writting a bunch of bad checks.
4. I got cash from matt, to make up for it, but when my boyfriend kicked him out a second time, he wanted it back.
5.The check bounced after that,but at first looked as though it cleared, so forgetting that he already took the cash back, convinced my boyfriend to write a check on my account for the 50 bucks.
6. Because that was SO easy, a few more checks were written (one i caught before it was cashed).
7. Again, Matt being MY problem, a supposid cashiers check for 40 bucks was going to be deposited in my account if i gave my boyfriend my card to pull it out, so that Matt could FINALLY be gone... He showed up at the house without me knowing, and I got pissed, so threw it at him.
8.. The original check from Matt, bounced plus a processing fee was charged to the account. After having fraud already on the account, the then, 56.50 was over drawn on the account.
9. Trying to get that fixed, I notice that on another account I am now overdrawn $300+. I call my boyfriend's grandmother, and she said he wasn't home from the night before. Gave me the number of a detective, which I called.
10. Eventually finding out at 11 am, that he supposidly didn't know about the charges, checked his wallet to find my sleeve but no card.
11. So, where he went to a friend's house, another SOB, the card went missing and he supposidly didn't know about it. Over 500$ were written on the account, and as mentioned I was give or take 300$ in the hole.
12. Now this has costed over 600$ with bank charges bc the money was pulled out at gas station ATMs and over drawn fees.
13. One police report down, and another to go sense the card was stolen in a neighboring city.
...
14. Here's the kicker. I may not get any of the money back that was charged to the account. I may only get any bank processing feeds back.. So woohoo a hole 90 bucks... Bc my boyfriend knew my pin number, I am then responsible for it, unless I prosecute.... HECK YEA I'M PROSECUTING!!!

I don't know how in Hades the guy got the pin number to pull out money, and I've been told not to ask my boyfriend, so he can't make up any stories, if he was somehow involved. My boyfriend wants to make a few calls to take care of Brad (the second SOB). I told him no let the police do what they can, then he has full permission to take care of it.

No one knows Brad's last name or where he lives, just the address of his friend (the guy where my card was taken). I have all the places and exact times as to when the card was stolen, so I'm taking that to the other city with my first police report. I can say my boyfriend either covered is butt really well, or he's telling the truth. I say that because after the card was placed on hold, the guy tried to pull out more money, noted by the bank, of course....

But of all the times the bank didn't catch anything, they didn't catch this guy pulling out money every two hours from my account... That pisses me off... I've heard of times where my bank has called my parents to verify a charge that was like one dollar, but when 160 (plus 2$ atm charge before the 1.75 bank charge), plus 80,60,80,etc. was pulled out every two hours, that didn't ring a bell...

On top of that my relationship has been drastically falling down a steep hill for two weeks now. I was promised once Matt was gone (which he finally is), things would be better, but let's say I haven't talked to him for more than 30 minutes in two days. If someone says I'm busy I'll call you when I'm done, yet falls asleep; wouldn't it make sense to call that person as soon as you wake up? Well, I think so anyway...

Whatever... I give up...

OOOOO!!! I forgot... The racks that I paid for a month and a half ago, I FINALLY got the other day, and opened today... Yea, well... They're not heated. I went back to the website, and saw in small print heat can be added. I was talking to someone a while ago and was told it was already added, so I didn't think to tell the guy to add heat... Well there goes another 285 bucks that I can't use... I'm hoping that I can send this one back and have another one made, but I don't want to wait ANOTHER month and a half. I was told I'd have it by end of February; at the end of February, I was told it will be shipped out by the end of February. Then I was told by Friday or Monday of the beginning of March, but it wasn't send till this past week.

I broke. My mom was like it's ok. No the HECK it's not! I'm fed up with all this. No money. No puppy. Barely a boyfriend. No life. No racks. I've been sitting in bed for close to 4 hours now, sleeping and thinking...

I'm seriously sorry about your run of bad luck. But it sounds like things can only get better.

I'm going to risk a piece of advice though before ending this. I think you need to spend a lot of time evaluating your relationship. His choice of friends and careless attitude leave much to be desired. Best of Luck!!! :)

I know I need to. I've heard that a lot lately... Unfortunately that is... I'm trying so hard to back off and have a "hold" on the relationship until this is all settled, account-wise, that is, but it's SO hard. When he's kind of missing. I mean he was supposed to be home close to three hours ago, and I can't get him nor can his grandmother. I mean she's not worried, but she almost never is. I am though... His phone is dead or out of reach, signal wise. Earlier he was at a flee market, says his grandma, which explained the signal because it's a dead area, but well the flea market closes around 3ish I think. And, now the phone either goes direct voice mail or rings WAY too many times before voice mail... I'm just having an even harder time letting go... that I am dealing with all this.

O wait more news. He's in jail. Burglary charges, fraud, etc. Not sure what all he's being charged for, but I'm waiting on a call after his initial hearing sometime today. It's pretty much over with us, but sadly, I'm not telling him that because I want him to have something to look forward to when getting out. I mean if he changes a lot then maybe, but otherwise he'll have to just stay my friend. I've got to find out when I can see him because a LONG time ago we were joking around that if he was put in jail would I see him, and I promised. A joke doesn't matter because it was still a promise... I keep my promises...

I got out ball python, and I'm setting him up now. That upset him a lot when I told him I was going to get him. What was I supposed to do? Let him starve and dehydrate? It's all I have left... I already lost our puppy and him... No one believes me when I say he was a GREAT guy a while back. Al they see are his current mistakes and addictions and friends. He was a GREAT guy... I have to call his best friend and tell him the news if his grandma doesn't tel him first. I mean it's not like they've talked alot lately, but he needs to know...

I'm a good person, why does life hate me?

I'm really sorry to hear about all of your problems, Whitney. Life has a way of mistreating the good people, and letting the bad continue. However, I believe in karma, so the good will come back around.

Hey Whitney, I know, I wonder that sometimes myself, and I know you have heard this many of times, but alot if not all of your problems stem back to the boyfriend. And being a good person, which I am sure you are, you deserve much better and should demand much better, and not sit around putting up with all that when it causes you so much pain. I say cut ties with what is holding you back and it seems to mostly be caused by your boyfriend. Let him go and look for someone who wouldn't do that to you, or better yet let him go and let someone who wouldn't do that to you look for you, and you just enjoy the single life for awhile, I am sure it would be a welcome change after what you been through. But thats just my two cents based on what I read, so hopefully things change around for you very soon!! Good luck, and keep your head up! :main_thumbsup:

Wow, Whitney..I'm so sorry about the way things are going. I'm sure it will get better, you just have to hold on. Keeping promises is good but I think to get on with your life you need to go ahead and end it with him and move on. It might be the first step to things improving. Of course, it's your life..you know the details of it all. If you ever need to talk you know my email addy and my aim sn is countrybabek8e ;).

I know how the bad luck runs go, but not to offend you or anything you really need to ditch the B/F I know it can be hard I have been in worse things than you have said up there, trust me I could tell you stories about my ex that would blow your mind lol, hey maybe we should talk I could make you feel better?? LOL

But seriously it sounds like you need to drop this guy, because his friends cause problems for you and that is bull in the first place, your b/f should NEVER let HIS friends take advantage of you, for being a nice person. It's hard but once you do, it's the best feeling in the world to finally take control of your life!

Also I am here if you wanna talk :)
