My boyfriend just bought me a fake engagement ring of $78

View Quoted Comment 🚩there ya go!

Dude, SAHP is not for everyone. Also, I’d be talking to my own lawyer and accountant before starting a business. I don’t know how small business taxes work in the States with personal taxes, so I cannot offer any advice, I do recommend speaking with proper experts though.

I hope this is joke.
OP, you have all your answers in front of you. Are you just looking for someone else to tell you that this guy is bad news? The cost of the engagement ring should not be the issue here. This guy sounds very manipulative, selfish, and controlling. This is not someone you want to have a child with or even consider marrying. And you guys been together for two months? 🏃 🏃 🏃 🚩🚩🚩🚩

Sorry, but none of this sounds like a good Idea AT ALL

RUN!!!!!!!!!

This all sounds bad.

Assuming this is is a legit post and not just someone trolling...run. Run like the damn wind.

I ended a 2 year relationship once because, according to him, our future involved me being a stay at home mom who served him a piping hot meal every night when he got home from work. Not on your life, dude.

If you don’t want to be a SAHM and be financially dependent on another person, don’t! Say no.

The fake e-ring is the least of your concerns! Just because he's asked you to marry him doesn't mean you have to say yes. There are so many red flags here, and you're aware of them. It sounds like you agree that a future with him on his terms looks undesirable. Run and don't look back!

Seriously - this is a Lifetime Movie in the making...

Suggestion is to get as far away from this guy as you can. But easy to say from the bleachers... IF you really love him and believe he loves you, you need to AT LEAST push for a MUCH longer engagement to make sure he's not a domineering nut job...start your business / get a job, make sure he can handle you living the life YOU WANT, and get on some birth control... you don't need to bring a baby into this situation.

Sounds like the start to an abusive relationship.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for your advise, I am 34 years old and I am well educated with over 10 years in a management position. I just resigned from my previous Job because I changed location . I feel that with my level of education and experience, I will feel like a vegetable in this marriage.

SO. MUCH. NOPE.

Honey, did you read what you wrote? Are you not frightened for yourself? Please, RUN. NOW. DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200, DO NOT GET PREGNANT. JUST GO. This man is a classic abuser.

I really hope this is not a real post...

1: The price of the ring and comparing it to someone else's is really not something you should worry about.
2: Get the hell out. For real. The Lifetime movie comment made me laugh but it was a nervous laugh because it is true. There is something seriously wrong and almost to the point that at your age and level of functionality, this should even have been a second thought.

I am so glad I found this forum and posted my concerns. My gratitude to all who have advised me and I am taking your words seriously. I will answer some concerns you have raised.
1. YES. This is for real and not a single word is made up.
2. I am well educated with over 10 years experience in management and when I printed my Resume he nearly choked with anger.
3. The business I want to start is 90% financed with all the raw materials,equipment and the rest of it ready except money for marketing it. But he want me to reach him everything about the business before he lends me money to start marketing it. I told him that I can get my self a job and a two month salary is enough to kick off the business but he doesn't like that because it will take me away or make me change my mind about having a baby.
3. And yes. I will run,My ovulation days are due ( Jan/1-6/2018) and he doesn't want to miss it. I am doing all it takes to stay safe

Well, with your education, you should know that this is not the right situation for you. You're so much better than that. If you need money to start a business, you certainly don't need him for that money. There are options for business loans. Him choking on anger at the thought of you working is 100% not ok, and that's how the rest of your life will look if you stay with him. And all this after only 2 months of dating? I wouldn't want to see what he's like a year or 2 into the relationship.

And while I hate to think of you sleeping with him possibly against your will, please make sure you have some sort of birth control, and don't forget you can get the morning-after pill over the counter at your pharmacy. It won't go on any insurance records or anything and you can just pay cash so he doesn't know about it.

There's so many red flags . And the fact you can see them isn't good . You have only been dating two months and he wants all this . I would say run.

Absolutely run. If you don't run, start buying your own contraceptives and keep your own accounts/job/car/independence.

He just sounds odd. Leave the situation, start your business and at some point in the future you will find someone that will fit right with you

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Abort mission and get the heck out of that mess! Nothing about this seems the tiniest bit normal. Wish you the best

On my god, so many red flags. Please leave.

The first red flag i see is that you've been together for 2 months... he sounds like he's controlling you and i didnt even have to read past the first paragraph to know that. it sounds like he's using you so horribly....

i hope you leave this relationship behind, honestly.

this is a mess. please get out before you cant...

After seeing your follow up comments, I would be packing my stuff today and finding a friend’s couch to crash on for a bit. No way in hell should you give this man ANY opportunity to come near your body.
