She stated that his parents are eager for the duo to begin a family already, but things have not been duly set for that to happen just yet!

She explained in her post that her partner's parents have accrued so much debt in his name and that he cannot afford to pay for or even own anything!

Her post read:

"They all make hopeful comments about me getting pregnant soon (not the right time), always talking about how great it will be for us to wed. They're a bit invasive, but at least they're supportive, I guess? (shrugs). I'm a part-time student and work, SO works about 60hs/week and doesn't make a lot of money… He was going back to the University next year for a degree he's so passionate about..he can't even get approved for school loans. His parents have taken multiple loans throughout the years in SOs name, which they never paid back..."

She got the advice of not going ahead with any "I do" plans until everything has been sorted out; while another comment advised that it was high time her man took the bull by the horn, and man up to his responsibilities, another implied going all legal about the whole loan-debt incurred by his parents!

The financial abuse suffered by Cheryl is a form of coerced debt, and it involves discreet transactions, taking loans online pretending to be that person, use of physical violence or threat to force the spouse to approve a loan via a signature.

Female celebrities who have been victims of such an abuse include, Tina Turner who got separated from her husband, Ike, and Mariah Carey from Tommy Mottola.
