“Hi, NISE! I’m writing to you to tell my story that may seem sad for many people, but I managed to cope with my pain and become stronger and wiser, despite all the challenges that my life prepared for me. So, I have a husband (soon to be ex), his name is Jacob. All this time I was blinded by love,” she begins her story. “For 15 years, I thought Jacob was my soulmate. We married young, and I was head over heels. I ignored the warning signs. I thought he loved me, but now I know — I was just convenient for him.”
Samantha’s recalls the moment that changed everything. “We had been married for 15 years. I’m successful, earning $700,000 a year as a CEO, while Jacob works at a bank, making $50,000. A few years ago, he asked me for $1,500 a month. ‘It’s for personal expenses,’ he said. I found it odd, but I didn’t ask questions. I loved him too much to care.”
