Dear JustUs,
I am currently dating a man that has and is selling illegal items. When I first met him I was impressed with his 3bdrm condo, his 2012 BMW and the host of shopping sprees and trips we'd take spontaneously. He makes me feel like a princess. As we get closer and now talking about marriage, I can't see us surviving together and living that happy life with us never knowing when or if he'll get caught and be sent away. I do love him and know that his income defines who he is and his entire lifestyle, but I cannot live a life hiding and always looking over my shoulder (and his, to be honest). I've shared my feelings but he says this is his life and when I met him, I knew. But Justus, when I first met him, I didn't know. I suspected, but didn't know. He has this part-time job at a Fed-Ex but he rarely works their. Other than his "income" elsewhere, he couldn't survive. I'm thinking I cannot continue to be with someone who choose to live like this. He is putting himself in jeopardy every day and now, ME too. I should have known better when we met not to continue but 3yrs later, here I am and I love him. This is why it's so hard to leave. Any suggestions or input? I don't want us to end but I can't keep this up and expect to have children with him (one day).

Luv,
One thing about the good life, most of the time it comes with risks. The fact that you are reaching out says a lot. If you accept him now while things are good, you must accept him when the good life come to an end. That could be a numerous of things including prison. If you are not willing to deal with the whole ordeal, there is your answer, it's not your life. Loyalty is very important and if you leave before the trouble comes then you wouldn't be hated by him later. There's no guarantee that he gets busted but there is a guarantee there will be a graduation in the under world eventually. You don't seem like you are interested in the whole ride, and think about the possibilities of children getting involved. There's no shame in walking away now because you didn't know what you were getting into but now that the Holy Spirit has revealed all the future pain you may or may not endure as a repercussions for the lifestyle, your choice is strictly up to you.

I'm sorry Justus but you're speaking in riddles to me. Of course "the good life" is for me. I desserve to be treated well, aren't most women? Or GOOD women, that is. But his short cut means to having the "good life'' is my concern. I'm ready for us both to start working and surviving on our own and he's not willing.

As previously stated, you have your answer. You've clearly stated what you want and what he wants. His "good life (right now)" isn't for you. You want a man that works for his good life and not have to play hide and seek with the law to live it. Simple.
