My boyfriend's about to go to jail, I think.
I can't talk to anyone around here about it because that would risk someone telling cops more than they already know. I just need to talk to someone. It's not like I didn't know he'd go to jail at some point in our relationship, but dating someone that's incarcerated is hard. Not only does it take a toll on your relationship, it takes a toll on you. I really just want someone to talk to me about it. |

Man.
I've been woken up by a theft detective for the past 2 days. I've dealt with more cops in the past few days than most people deal with for most of their lives. He got the guy he was with to turn the badge in, finally, after they tried to pin it all on him. He was facing grand theft and theft of government property. Any lawyer could have gotten him off with only a month or so in jail. But, he is out of trouble now anyway. You know, it's easy to say "i'd return the wallet" but when you have nearly 1000 dollars looking right back at you, it's hard to turn it in. That could have put the down payment on our house and got him all the new tattoo equipment he needs. We needed that so bad. |

It's unheard of to spend no more than a grand on a "down". You've got closing costs, house inspections, homeowners' insurance, doc fees, loan fees, etc. And not only that, but you were going to have enough to get his tat equipment too? I apologize for my cynicism, but that just doesn't make any sense to me. So queue the tough love - Get your head out of your ass. Your boyfriend's as well. What he did was dishonest, dishonorable, petty and not to mention stupid. If it was indeed a cop's wallet, the hell would he keep it for? Sign from god? I don't have a great deal of thoughts regarding gods, but I've yet to hear about a god that would give this type of blessing. If he goes to jail, good. It's a tough lesson, but it's one he needs. Sorry. I'm not a mean person at all, but the mom in me is just roaring right now. |
