Question
About a year ago my boyfriend made a huge mistake in our relationship and stole money from my family, but ever since then he has seemed to build his way back up. He is happier with his life now and i feel as if im helping him become a better person.  But all of my friends tell me to leave him because he is pretty much worthless, yet at the same time when i'm with him, thats when im truly happy and comfortable.  What do you think i should do?

Answer
Well if you believe your boyfriend has learned his lesson and has made positive changes and he's treating you well, then you should go with your instincts and do what makes you happy. Your friends are only looking out for you because they care about you and sometime they see things we don't..been there, done that...
But still the decision is yours and as long as he has truly changed and makes you happy, I see no reason why you shouldn't give him this chance.

Good luck...Julie
