I don't know if I'm wrong but I think I can post this essay in this section. I used to. Thanks for your help and I apologize if I cause you any inconvenience.

Advantages and disadvantages of having a boyfriend
Having a boyfriend is good or bad? A man is so hard to understand. Why is that? Because men are sometimes crazy. However, sometimes they are so kind and cute. Women love and hate men, sometimes at the same time. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a boyfriend?

Having a boyfriend has certain advantages. Firstly, you have someone who supports you as well as and appreciates you. He is someone you trust. Secondly and most important is the love you get. You have a person who cares about you. What is more, you do not have time to feel lonely and empty.

However, it has disadvantages too. What are they? When you have a boyfriend you do not have more time for other people; for instance, you leave your friends to spend your time with your boyfriend and sometimes you let out. Another negative aspect is that you spend all your money on gifts for your boyfriend. And a further common criticism is jealousy in couples, why is this happening? It is for the lack of confidence.

Taking everything into account, I believe that when you love a person, you will never see the advantages or disadvantages because everything is perfect. You spend money but it does not hurt, because you love. And now, what do you think about having a boyfriend?

However, it has disadvantages too. What are they? When you have a boyfriend you do not have enough time for other people. For instance, you leave your friends to spend your time with your boyfriend and sometimes you (let out.?)maybe lose out?

Another negative aspect is that you spend all of your money on gifts for your boyfriend. And a further common criticism is jealousy in couples. Why is this happening? It is for the lack of confidence.

Pyuk, short and sweet. I liked it very much, especially your first couple of sentences.
I did get a bit confused with the term " let-out " though. Sorry.

Yes, got me lost there, too.

Kitosdad, don't you think 'Secondly and most important is the love you get' should be 'Secondly and most importantly is the love you get'?

Yes Ski, you are of course correct.

" Secondly, and most importantly, is the love you get."

That's how it should have been written.
