writes:My partner admitted to taking £10 from my dads money. He said he borrowed it and was going to put it back that same night but my Dad noticed the money was missing and called me at work. My partner denied taking it at first but yesterday (3 weeks later) he admitted to taking it. My dads ok with it, he said he understands he has no money and temptation got the better of him etc. But now my mum is saying she has had money go missing aswell and shes accusing my boyfriend of taking it. Anyway he's booked a lie detector. I think i could forgive him for taking the £10 from my dad but i could never forgive him from taking my mums money. I love my partner very much, we were planning a family together, we live together etc. we've been together for 2 years and im devastated over all of this. i dont know what to do. He's paying £600 for a lie detector, but is it worth doing? I really want to stay with him, but only if he passes the lie detector. is that wrong of me? My mum has agreed that its up to me if i want to stay with him but either way she will never allow him back in her home or in my brothers home because if he can steal from my dad then he can easily steal from her and my brother. of course i dont blame her for this. My partner is staying with him mum until i get the results. hes told me how sorry he is for putting me through all of this hurt and shame. I do love him, is that wrong? i should hate him for this, right?

To do something like he did even with him apologizes means he has a problem that needs a therapist. Don't take him back until he fixes his problems.

 This is all very 'Jeremy Kyle'. Lie detectors - surely no one has one of them in real life?! I am tempted to think that he's bluffing about having that done, and as Candid Candy says, how on earth can he afford it? This relationship sounds like a lot of drama ....

 It sounds like you are deliberately blinding yourself to the fact that he is a thief and a liar. He is also giving you bullshit by saying he was borrowing and going to put it back. I dare say he is able to steal from anyone. If I caught someone I knew stealing from my parents I would hate them and get them out of my life in an instant. After I had beaten them up of course.

Hee needs to sincerely apologize to your parents and repay your dad the money plus a little extra.
If your boyfriend doesn't have money, where is the 600£ for the lie detector test coming from?
