In reply to the discussion: Perfect 10? Nevermind That. Ask Her for Her Credit Score [View all]sorefeet
(1,241 posts)26. I learned that the hard way slackmaster
I just had a girl friend for ten years that I didn't know. She had mental problems, she couldn't hold a job, no drivers license for 25 years and finally got caught. She cost me all my savings and was dragging me down to her depressed life. She finally got on SSDI and dropped me like she hit the lottery. She left me broke and depressed and I am so glad she is gone. It's been a year and things have turned around, back to a normal life even got some savings going on again.
But now I'm scared shitless to find another girl friend. So now I'm lonely but I guess that is better than being used to death by someone who could give a shit less about me.

Getting my scores to 800+ took over 30 years of responsible financial behavior. I'm proud of it.

I am, but I'm not going to put myself in a precarious financial situation for somebody else

I don't care about the score, but I certainly am interested in a woman's debt situation

+1. A big debt situation will equal a bum credit score, though. So that's one way to know

Yes! One thing: All those guys who didn't want to commit when they were young?

Being alone is a whole lot better than being with someone who is nothing but a burden

Isn't that kinda the "nuclear option"? I would be open and honest early on and see how

No one wants to take on someone else's gnarly debt load. I don't blame them.
