me and my fiance lead pretty seperate lives but are planning to move in together sometime this year, trouble is I dont really know anything about he gets up to when I'm not with him, he works full time but seems to have ALOT of time off, he has had two and a half weeks off this year already and has another 2 booked off for august and he's taken a couple of sick days. My family are concerned that he doesnt have a job at all...

Also he seems to magic money out of nowhere, on friday he had no money at all, yesterday he got £30 from somewhere and then by last night he had £70, I asked him where he got it from and he just said "umm I just err.. did some jobs on the side..". I dont know anything about his family as he refuses to talk about them other than to say he hates his dad (but never says why) and he doesnt talk about his friends. He used to leave his mobile lying around but now keeps it attached to him at all times and makes an effort to answer/make calls when I'm not around, he even sometimes ignores the phone if it's ringing when I'm there.

I suppose I'm just questioning everything before we make a big step and move in together but do you think I'm worrying over nothing?

He's obviously a drug dealer.

GET OUT NOW!!!

You can't trust this guy!!!

Why is it always new posters posting in realtionships about dodgy partners?

blueteddy · 21/05/2006 14:45

You are certainly not worrying over nothing. It sounds very much like he is dealing drugs to me.

fattiemumma · 21/05/2006 15:28

if he'sa drug dealer he's not a very good one if he can only get hold of £100 in 24 hours!

i think he is most likely doing something a little bit grey in legal terms but i doubt its anything so serious.

i owudnt not be moving in with someone who i knew nothing about though thats for sure.

HappyMumof2 · 21/05/2006 15:58

I don't think he's a drug dealer either. Sounds too petty for that. Drug dealers normally have a lot more than £30 etc. Sounds to me as though he's not got a job and is doing some odd jobs or something. I knew someone like that. Tbh, he was a bit of a tramp and a ponce.

He's making no commitment to you. Fgs he hasn't even introduced you to his friends and family and you are thinking of moving in with him??? I reckon he's living with someone.

Have you got a baby with him???? I hope not.....

Perhaps you need to sit down and have a long chat, you need to know what your gonna be letting yourself in for. As for drug dealer, he very well could be. They don't always carry loads of cash around, my ex was selling cannibis (at the beginning), the income generated was usually in the form of the odd £20 to £50, depending on what people could afford, and I'm sure his phone was surgically attached. In my case it ended extremely badly with death threats and police intervention.

On the other hand he could be telling the truth about jobs on the side, you really need to find out what is going on

I would personally refuse to move in with someone that I knew nothing about, I can't believe that you are actually engaged to him.

yomellamoHelly · 22/05/2006 20:57

I'd be concerned that he wasn't being open with you about what he gets up to and, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to move in with him until he was. I couldn't feel comfortable - safe even - around so much secrecy. It sets a terrible precedent for your future relationship too.

Nightynight · 22/05/2006 21:01

I dont think you are worrying about nothing. I'd want to know the answers to the questions that you asked, before making any permanent commitment to him.

redbull · 23/05/2006 08:47

100% sounds like a drug dealer to me, he might not be making loads of money out of it as he may not be selling the hard stuff and maybe just selling to friends not strangers.

Do not move in with him untill you are 100% sure what type of person he is, does he ever stop over if so why not check his mobile when he is asleep??

you dont want to bring some one in to your home with your child living their if you dont know or can really trust them.
