I Left My Heart For San Francisco by Marie

“I was engaged to this guy and we had set up a joint savings account.  One day I decided I wanted to go to San Francisco, so I took money out of our joint account and went on a trip.  When I got back, he was really mad at me and wouldn’t talk for two weeks. To punish me, he wouldn’t take me anywhere, we just stayed home.  He made me promise never to do that again, but after that our relationship just went downhill.  He never really trusted me again and I thought if he’s going to act like this before we get married, what’s it going to be like after?  So you could say, I got out of the doghouse when I got out of the relationship.  It turned out to be less than I hoped for, you really learn a lot about someone when money is an issue.  I am just glad I found out before we got married.”        (submitted by Marie in Miramar, FL)
