Love is love but marriage is about love & finances. Lying about money will ruin your marriage and so will irresponsible spending. You can love her but you can't marry her now.
Well, not unless you are just a romantic fool! LOL

Finances and financial goals should always be discussed before you get married. I'm not saying you should end an engagement over a credit score, but it also depends if the bad credit is because of a pattern of bad decisions or one or two bad decisions. Honestly if you have a partner who is constantly going into debt and not paying it off then that is going to impact both of your lives forever. That is a serious consideration particularly if you want to have kids. Bad credit can also be a sign of something serious like a gambling addiction. So no I wouldn't break off an engagement over bad credit, but it certainly is a sign that there may be something to discuss -particularly in regards to who manages the household accounts. My partner has horrible spending habits and I wish I had been adult enough earlier in the relationship to just take over the finances, as I have done since. Rather than waiting for him to want to be an equal partner in finances. I just didn't want to be the wife that says "Give me your paycheque -here's your allowance" but apparently that's the only thing that works around here.

don't marry the person...the credit score will also affect you plus someone who lies and does not keep current with payments or owes a lot of money? I don't think i would want to marry that!

I'd be a lil pissed they kept it from me, N I'd ask if there was anything else they were keeping from me. Cause, you'll find out eventually, N someone who isn't honest is... not honest.
Lol, sorry. But, a relationship should be built on honesty N love.
(not credit scores)

no big deal but why would a credit score matter in this situation

if this is the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, i would help them get on the right track. it may alter plans that you and person made, but if they are worth then it shouldnt matter! Good Luck!

nothing unless you are about to get something very important that requiers a good credit score.

lying is no good...but that is not a reason to break up. there may be a reason she lied...maybe shes embarrassed! so just talk to her and let her know that it bothered you and you want to know why. she could also be a compulsive liar...and get off on it...well good luck.

There are worse things to lie about but I think it's manipulating to withold information like that.

if they had been lying to me...that would upset me yeah. relationships are about trust, and if they lied to me about something like that, i would question what else they have lied about over the years.
