My boyfriend got sent to jail three months ago for something I don't think he did and he is awaiting trial. He bought a car a few months before he got arrested and when they took him to jail I promised him I'd keep up the payments because I know he loves it.

Well, I have done everything I possibly can and it seems like the universe is determined to kick us while we're down. I am trying so hard to be a good girlfriend. I pay to talk to him on the phone, send him commissary, and do so many other things. I have spent so much money on this.

But the car... it's so expensive. I don't have an emergency fund for myself because of this, and I'm not even driving it. His dad is. And they don't have insurance on it and won't even help me make the payments.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose my boyfriend over a car.

He was always so proud of his credit and now it's ruined over a bogus charge. I guess my question is... how do I break this news to him. I don't want him to think I'm just being cheap (I have a decent job and he thinks I can afford it). Just... what do I do?
