My bf and I have been together for 6 years and it’s draining on us so much that my bf is considering leaving me and just being sad and alone for the rest of his life. We’ve had our fair share of bumps on the roads but we’ve always got through them. But this year has really made us reconsider everything.

We’ve both been working and have been trying to save money yet anytime we get close to a grand or two, something ALWAYS comes up and drains our money. My dog gets super sick and there’s $400, our first car breaks down and it’s $2000, our new car stops working and there’s $4000, my parents raise our rent and there’s $500 more, something of ours breaks down and there’s maintenance costs, like when does it end?

How are we supposed to get on our feet and move out and get our own place if we can’t even save any money? He says he loves me and he’s happy but he can’t keep living his life like this and dragging me down with him. He says he wants to move out and break up and start his own life even if that means he’ll be alone forever and die that way. His depression is getting the best of him and I hate seeing it do that to him. Is he right? Are we cursed together? Does bad shit keep happening because we’re not meant to be together?
