Dear Jay,
We have only been dating for six months but I am worried I am dating a thief. I first noticed something was not right when I visited him and my money seemed to disappear. When I was leaving, I often noticed that some amount was missing. It was not usually a lot so I didn’t think much about it.
While I don’t like that my boyfriend is stealing from me, things escalated recently. I had a gold chain I was supposed to send to a friend of mine. It was in my bag when I visited him but by the time I left, the chain was no longer there.

I initially asked him if he saw it and he said no. Then I began crying and explaining that I would be in big trouble if I couldn’t find it. A few days later, I was at his place and I searched his room while he was in the bathroom. I found the chain and asked him about it when he came out. He said I must have forgotten it at his place.
I know for sure that the chain never left my bag when I came around that day but he started getting angry that I was accusing him of being a thief. What do I do?
Shewa.
Dear Shewa
You know your boyfriend is stealing from you. That’s a fact. What’s even more disturbing is that you caught him and he tried to make it your fault, that’s a red flag.
At this point, even if you try to continue with this relationship, you will always find yourself suspicious of his every move. Basically, the trust is gone in this relationship. It’s time to cut your losses and move on.

There is no working it out if your boyfriend is stealing from you, regardless of the reason. If he’s capable of stealing an expensive gold chain and getting you in trouble, imagine what else he’s capable of. This relationship is done as far as I’m concerned.
Jay.
