    Sorry Karen but if I had a partner who didn't live with me go snooping through my finances, jumping to conclusions and posting about it on very busy public forum, I'd be livid and he'd be binned in an instant. You need to think long and hard about what you've done, you had no right to do that.

    The time to be know about each other's finances is when you're considering moving in together and sharing expenses. The betrayal of trust here is just shocking.


    As I have said before, im not proud of what I have done, but once I had done it and found out what I did I couldn't ignore the info that I had seen. Yes, I jumped to conclusions, but when you come across info like that your mind does start to work overtime! As for posting on a busy forum, well, hopefully no-one can identify me from my posts so it is all fairly anonymous. Lots of people have posted more intimate details on here and I came here looking for help and advice, which I got in abundance! This forum is here to offer help and advice, not judge and condemn. I agree that the betrayal of trust that I showed by snooping was shocking, but who can say hand on heart that they haven't looked at something they really shouldn't have? We are considering living together and getting married so I am glad that we are now able to discuss our finances openly with each other and not feel embarrassed, which is what I think he felt. Here was this seemingly successful man who had a good job, but due to things that had happened to him in his past was having to pay back loans, credit card and other debts. :rolleyes:
