We had been going together for about six years and hoped to marry. I had lost my virginity to this tall, blond, handsome man, with piercing hazel eyes. He was a loan officer at a finance company and talked me into taking out a loan to buy a new TV. I had never had a loan before, and I trusted him. We broke up the first time because he started seeing his ex-wife again. We broke up again when I caught him cheating on me. That's when he left town and disappeared. While he was gone, I found out he had been using my account for the TV loan (which had already been paid off) to borrow additional money in my name. I now owed hundreds of dollars. That was strike three!
