I was 19 years old and my boyfriend 8 yrs older than me. We use to live in the same house he was the brother of my stepfather. I got to know him and i started liking him. But i was unfaithful with him once while we were dating with a friend of his.

My mom didnt know about this relationship until i told her and she was very upset. She told to my boyfriend i cant believe you betrayed like that and in my house with my daughter i gave you all my trust. so she didnt agree with the relationship we runned away from home 13 hrs away.

But now i am 22 yrs and still living a long way from my home. i truly miss my family. my mom now she is ok with the relationship only that she wants us to move closer to home and i truly want that to. NOw i am alone in a different state and stuck with his family because i dont even have one close relative or friends to talk to.

i am so dependent on him that i am just scared that i am not going to afford to pay the bills. HE has also threaten me to tell my famly of what i did in the past and its haunting me. He also manipulates me. i am often feeling sad and getting to a point of depression.


I have insisted for 3 yrs for us to move closer at least 1 hr or 2 away from home. But he doesnt want to. i am very frustuated and my feelings towards him are starting to fade away. i dont know what to do? please i need help!!
