Dear Queenie,
I’ve been living with my boyfriend for almost 10 years, but he won’t marry me because of my bad credit rating, and I found out he tells people about that, and other things that should be private between us, when they ask why we don’t get married.
Queenie, after so many years I would really feel bad to end our relationship, but do you think I would be better off without him?—Exasperated girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
No doubt it would help your relationship if you could manage to improve your credit rating – increase your income and/or cut down on your spending – but that would not change the fact that your boyfriend talks about things that should be private between the two of you.
I suggest couples counselling with a professional counsellor to help you both learn to deal with both of these important problems.
