Boyfriend tricked me into buying him a car

Dear Pastor,

I am in a relationship with a man. He is not working but I am. He convinced me to buy him a taxi because he was in that field of work before we met. He pencilled the plan out and told me how much I would make. He told me what he would give me every day when he worked with the car. I discussed it with my brother who is also in the taxi business and my brother told me he would monitor my boyfriend to ensure that he would not rob me. He got rid of his old car and I bought a newer one for him but he hardly brings in any money. He complains that things are hard every day and now I regret buying this car. Every day, he is profiling with a new girl. What he is doing is going to cause us to break up. I want my money back but the car is bought and insured in his name, so he does not seem to care and I do not want my brother to get further involved in it, because he is very 'ignorant'. So please for your advice. Thank you in advance.

Y.J.

Dear Y.J.,

I believe that you meant well when you bought this vehicle and, if your boyfriend were honest, he would have admitted that there are bad days and good days on the road. Every day cannot be a bad day. Let your brother help you with this matter and, if possible, try and get back most or all of the money you would have made in this investment. That may mean you would have to go to a lawyer and draw up an agreement as to how you will be paid, whether monthly or weekly. Take it easy. I wish you well.

Pastor
