My bf is 26 years old, 50 lbs overweight, makes 35k, lives at home with his parents bc he’s paying lawyers 1k a month to fight a domestic assault case pressed by his ex from two years ago. Everyone around me is telling me I can “do better” - but god damnit the boy makes me laugh and feel special.

Get Out. Bad New, Bad Karma and will bring you down mentally, emotionally, physically and every other way. You’re probably in your 20s too, you can certainly do better!

Oh and paying 1K/Month for lawyers while you’re making 35K a year is either a lie or plain stupid. You don’t want to stick around and find out which 😂

The domestic assault case is why you need to run.

Yeah, girl. Leave. The fact that he has a domestic assault case is a huge red flag. You cannot trust that you’re any different...

If you don’t run after seeing all the feedback here, get some therapy to help you realize how bad this situation is for you and your future.

If they’re the one you want and you’re happy tell everyone to fuck off and do your thang. Sounds a little bit underwhelming with the way you described him but maybe we’re all just judgey fuckers that jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story.

Money isn’t everything in life who cares how much he makes unless it’s impacting your quality of life. If you live in small city or suburbs 36k + your income is livable. If you live somewhere expensive then maybe a conversation around where he plans to be in the future should be had. I’d be most worried about the case of domestic abuse. Doesn’t matter how wealthy or not you are, you don’t want to be at danger of abuse to yourself or your kids if you ever have any.

All jokes aside - you should leave this guy. You’re young you don’t need this kind of drama/baggage from a partner.

If he’s great to you and makes you happy, we don’t have any right to judge your relationship.

Definitely doesn’t seem amazing on paper and I hope there’s another side to the domestic assault case.

But it takes years for most people to find a partner they’re happy with and can face their struggles with. If he’s that person to you, doesn’t matter what others think.

There’s a lot of red flags. Will you still be happy if he’s still like this 10 years from now? Spoiler alert- he will still be like this 10 years from now. People don’t change.

Until he beats you and you're the one he's fighting court about.

I’m sure he made the ex feel special too. Plenty of abusers are charmers. Get out now.
