Im 16 and my boyfriend is 19. we have been together officially about 3 weeks but casually dated for a month before that. he has a job and gets paid fairly good money, $9.55 an hour, but he sells a lot of things online. he always has money to blow and is constantly meeting up with these people he says answered his ad online. he meets with them to sell things like cars, car speakers, adapters for radios, dirtbikes, quads etc. and he just sold a tv and bought a new $700 one. one night a couple weeks ago, he called me at around 8pm. i was in the shower so i did not answer and when i checked my pohne i had 6 missed calls from him. i answered as he called me again and he was freaking out. he told me that he went into a very bad area because a man answered his ad for buying car speakers in exchange for a quad, but when my boyfriend got to the location the man pulled him behind a garage and held him at gunpoint. my boyfriend says he smacked the gun away from the man a ran back t his truck his brother and brothers girlfriend were waiting and they quickly drove off. i was shocked d didnt beve him at first. he said hes not going police report and i begged him to... i figured it wa normal thing to do when someone holds a gun to you, right? but he refused. after a lot of convincing and threatening to break up with him he finall made a report about 3 days later. he continues to sell things online and is constantly meeting with these people to exchange. this scares me. he didnt tell his mother about what happened until 2 days after. he now leaves hanging out with me on occassion to go sell and buy. he says he will cut down doing it after he can pay his bills. also, he told me a friend of his was gonna buy his car because he just got a new one but when the girl called him and said she didnt have the money, he became enraged and threatened her and yelled at me for telling him to stop. i dont understand his behavior. he has a tendancy to snap easily and yell. he is very anti-drug/alcohol. do you think something else is going on here even tho he claims to hate drugs? i jus dont see how he is getting all these things and getting so defiant with me and irritable and money-crazy. do you think he is keeping something from me? thank you!
