He\u2019d forged my signature, stopped paying months ago, and pocketed the money while I kept cooking, cleaning, and believing in us. Worse? He was planning to leave me. I found messages to another woman, Kelsey. He called me his \u201ccrazy ex-roommate\u201d and bragged about stealing rent money. He even, said I\u2019d never see it coming. He was right \u2014 I didn\u2019t. But I caught up quick.

Furious. Begging. I told him: pay the debt, get your stuff. He paid every cent. I got the apartment in my name. He got his things \u2014 minus the now-rotting sneakers he left behind. Lesson learned? If someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Not after three years, and definitely not after $8,437.63.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say love is blind \u2014 mine left me broke, betrayed, and stuck with an $8,437.63 debt.
