My live-in b/f (49) and I (44) are in a real crisis mode. First, we love each other very much. After some pressing on my part (he's a master at keeping secrets), he revealed his financial status. He's been lying to hide from being embarrassed. He owes the IRS a lot of money, he screwed up his $, no savings, he doesn't own a house now, he lives paycheck to paycheck. We talked about marriage and trips, but now that I know this, how we can even think about that with all this $ stress? His health is bad. I don't care about the $ so much as he is not happy and told me he hates himself, feels guilty over his mistakes, feels there's no use in trying to make things better $, too late to buy a house, pay debt etc. He can't see his way out. I said he was losing me because there's no joy, no happiness, no hope. It's always been stressful. He stopped making love 8 months ago. I'm always the one giving. I want to help, I got a job even tho I'm sick & he still thinks it's useless. Can this be saved?
