I met prevail Isaac when i was ten years old in children's church, he was what you would call "a cool dude" and he never acknowledged my presence because i was a deacon's daughter and that made me a good girl in their eyes that could do no wrong.
After children's church i changed churches and i didn't see him again and well to me, he was considered a boy in my past who was insignificant and i would never see again, i was wrong.
Years later, i was 17 going through a break up from my first boyfriend and he popped back into my life and boy did i think he was prince charming. He complimented me and called me beautiful and said all the thing i wanted to hear which made me date him, i wasn't in love with him or even attracted to him but i said yes when he asked and even after realising the mistake i made i convinced myself to at least try thing cause i was not a "quitter".
We did not date up to a month before he started demanding, it was always one sob story or another that needed money and i would always provide with the little i had, i was in the university so i always had money while he was fooling around.
I should have seen the constant taking and not giving as a red flag but i did not care, his words were enough and i was happy being his girl. It got to a point where he would constantly blackmail me to give him money daily and i would, he would use his sick parents as a reason to take also.
The relationship quickly started going downhill when cheating accusations came about, he always denied them and i was about to end it but he begged me to stay because he had one final card to play, borrowing a huge load of money to host a show because according to him since school was not an option he could be a show promoter. He borrowed and well the show flopped, he owed tons of people money he did not have and even left me there on the day of the show to fight the angry performers ( i didn't even know he fled the scene).
His parents were scrutinised and almost arrested and he came running back to me to lend him money and ofcourse i helped out with all my savings.
Looking back and even writing this article i realise how stupid i might have looked to him, i was the girl he cheated on, didn't take on dates and even missed dates when we planned them and i was still ready to give a leg and a hand.
The relationship eventually ended when he got a girl pregnant, i didn't get paid back my money and i left it worse than i came in.
It is crazy how a relationship could be my most #shittyinvestments.
