I checked my credit score and found out my boyfriend took out three "Small Business" loans in my name
we’ve been together for two years. "mark" is an entrepreneur, always talking about his next big "disruptor" app. i went to apply for a car loan and got rejected because my debt-to-income ratio was insane. i pulled my report and saw $45k in loans i never signed for. mark had used my social security number (which he found in my desk) to fund his "startup." he said he was "going to pay it back before i found out" and that it was "an investment in our future."
The Breakdown:
- He Said: He was "betting on himself" and his partner should support his vision.
- She Said: She is a victim of identity theft by the person she trusted most.
The Science: This is "Financial Infidelity" taken to the level of criminal fraud. It stems from a "Narcissistic Sense of Entitlement," where the partner views the other's assets as their own to be used for their personal gain.
The Solution: "This isn't an 'investment'; it’s a felony. You stole my credit and my future. I’m filing a police report today because that’s the only way to clear my name from these loans. We are done."
