I got another bill...

I got my directTV bill. It was over $500. The monthly fee is only $60. Sean ordered almost $400 in pornography over the last 2 months. He hid the first bill from me, or trashed it. I only got this one because he had to leave. He ordered all this from my bedroom...probably while I was asleep (I don't know the times yet). I called the company. There wasn't much they could do to help since it was ordered by remote, meaning it had to come from inside my house. They did credit seven movies which was close to $100 as a courtesy and disabled pay per view by remote and put a password on for pay per view by phone. Not that it matters much now since he's gone. He watched 41 pornographic movies from my bedroom in two months. I also talked to the guy he was buying the drugs from. He came over to ask if Sean was around. He told me Sean was buying cocaine from him almost every week, and bought crack twice. Well, crack dealer won't be knocking on my door anymore. I still cannot believe how stupid I was to not notice all of this going on in my house right in front of me. No amount of apologizing will make this okay. He stole from me, he lied to me, he tore my home to pieces, he bruised me and still has the nerve to tell me that I am abandoning him. That I should help him with his disease. He took MY money for all this stuff that is hurtful to ME. He couldn't even go get his own money to spend on his addictions. I have deprived myself of new clothes, time out with friends, foods that I liked to feed his addictions and I was stupid enough not to know it. Oh, I could just scream.

Thanks. I will call again and see if they will work with me. I did ask last night and they said no, but it won't hurt anything to try again. I really just feel so violated that he was watching that while I slept beside him. And I feel stupid that I didn't know. I cried today again. I didn't know him at all and I was about to marry him. I doubt I can ever trust anyone again enough to be that close.

If customer service will not help, then you request to speak to a supervisor right then and there.

Thank you for the kind response. It was much needed. Unfortunately, my credit is shot thanks to Sean and his craziness. Even when he did work, he didn't contribute. And any time he'd hand me fifty dollars he'd hold it over my head like I hadn't already paid thousands. I know that I can fix it though. I'll be moving to a cheaper place soon and I can start paying some things off that have been adding up. At least I have kept up with my student loans and my rent. :) Thanks again for the response.
