One body goes to the grave and one body goes to prison ... Wasted youth ... Moral of this story is - He'll never borrow money again ...

This is EXACTLY why I don't mix money with relationships. I always say that!

Maybe it was the money that kept him around in the first place

Love and hate, beyond that to kill or be killed or better get away from that!

The LOVE OF money is the root of all evil. She loved her money more than she loved him obviously.

Well, at least they hadn't got round to having kids, so they could ruin even more lives.

@reckless, you forgot oil, diamonds, gold, and religion

My point is, if there was a system so someone who attempted suicide is not let out immediately, but is sent to psychiatric consultation instead, maybe this could have been avoided. Therefore the boyfriend would be alive, and she wouldn't have to go to jail.

Freeloader's love for money is unconditional.

If your current partner is somewhat off or has a strange behavioral patterns, I'd say run away & don't look back or pretend you had an insomnia.

" doubt she got her money back back by killing him."
that's right,.... but could not she have taken some LEGAL recourse to get her yens back, oh snap, probably cost a lot of yens to do so.....or the j systems may be mega-futile. in that regard....

I doubt she got her money back back by killing him.

Wanna bet they let her our of the hospital right after she tried to kill herself ?
She was certainly in deep depression and had no help. A tragedy waiting to happen.
It's not the first time we see something like this.

Well obviously if you've stabbed him AND slashed your own wrists..

If everyone who was dissatisfied with a relationship, at one time or another, did the same thing as this woman the population of this country would be cut by AT LEAST 30% I'd bet!
