Ummm, yeah...we actually went out! Let me tell you all about it:

The setting was nice. He called me and said that he couldn't go to sleep. I had just gotten home and had a lot on my mind as well, so I said that we could go riding to vent. That's when he told me the following:

His grandfather had just passed and he didn't want anybody to know about it. He has a problem letting our his emotions. He said that he couldn't keep it in another day, so he told me. He also said that there's a lot of drama going on back at his hometown. Let me give you a little bit of background on him. In the past three months, he's lost his father, uncle, cousin, high school classmate, now his grandfather. His entire family is going through because of this and they look to him for strength. He's having a hard time with it now. So he told me all of the stuff that's going on in his world right now.

Currently, he pays $1100/month to his first child. He didn't tell me how much he pays for this second child. He pays his mother's mortgage, utilities, cell phone bill, etc. He also pays one of his uncle's bills, and then he has to pay his own bills (rent, car payment, insurance, etc.) I am not going to lie, that was bit overwhelming to me. He has a lot on his plate, and I don't know if I'm mentally ready for all of that.

Moving on with the date, I told him what was on my mind, which was nothing compared to his drama. And we just gave strength to each other and took me back home.

NOW...what are your thoughts...

TonyB06, I'm waiting on your comments!

Excuse grammatical errors, I didn't feel like correcting them.

I will definitely pray for him.
