I paid of my boyfriends debt

Marvel1

Blunt time: Goodbye to whatever money lent him, dump him, no future with someone who ha debt and carries on.

Get this love crap out of your head, you are being used and better off, already lost your savings.

Imagine a life without him and all the freedom and fun times you could have. Then dump him with no regrets.

I wish I'd had similar advice in my early 20s.  My ex-husband worked for his dad but when the business slowly folded he wouldn't press for many many months of back pay owed.  He didn't want to upset his dad, who then rolled up in a new car as I was working night shifts to pay the mortgage.  When I finally spelt out why we were finished I had to navigate an ocean of sob stories and guilt trips before I got to dry land.  I had to remortgage to buy him out and nearly broke me before I felt financially safe many years later.

OP you sound perfectly ready to manage your own household of one, but your boyfriend is nowhere near ready.  Don't spend any more money, no holidays or "joint purchases" unless he's got cash to pay up front for anything.  If you can't finish with him, then distance yourself from his misuse of credit that he can't afford to repay.

You get guys like this. Lowest of the low who rip women off - he will move onto another one soon. I knew one woman I worked with who lost 57k, he took out loans with her and run away with the proceeds. After years he reappeared. She asked us at work should she take him back? You can imagine the answers. It seems far more common than you would think.
Dump him and NEVER loan anyone money.

Ditch the loser. You pay off his loans, he gets a new computer with another one. He'll probably want you to bail him out of that one. Earn and save for yourself, and only tie yourself to someone with the same financial values, otherwise one person will always be mugged off.

It's true everyone can fall on hard times but the fact he put emotional pressure on you to give him money is unfair. He is also not being responsible by living within his means. I actually paid off my boyfriend's debts when we had only been together about 6 months. I was 24, so similar situation to you. The difference was he didn't ever ask for money , didn't live above his means and worked as much overtime as he could. Fast forward and he became a high earner who supported his family. Unfortunately we are separated at the moment but he transfers a generous amount of money for our child every month without fail. 
People can change but you need to see the change before you commit to living together. You won't move forward If he relies on you and your relationship will soon become strained if you have money worries and inequality. I'd talk to him about it and see if he is willing to change.

£1500 is a cheap lesson. Some people make this mistake with hundreds of thousands. Look after yourself. We’ve all been daft once. Xx

Walk away now, before he drags you into debt as well.

So it has only been 6 months and you already gave him all your savings, if this goes on then eventually he'll convince you to become a guarantor or you'll start taking on joint debts until you're bankrupt and miserable. Sorry to be so blunt but I don't think you're able to see where this flagrant financial abuse will end up if you allow it to continue.

Sounds like the guy that ripped off my daughter for £20k,she thought they were going to California on holiday,till he called her from the airport and told her he was going with his wife.
He got 18 months sentence she never got her money back. There were 3 other girls ripped of as well.
Strangely a month earlier i asked her if he was married,she said no way but had never been to his flat.
dump him now there some great guys out there, looking for a kind lady like you.
