What's Love Got to Do With It? Got to do with it, got to do with it?

Is there an echo in here? Hello? hello....hello....hello

I thought I was "in love" a couple of times.
a
They took my money, my stuff, wrecked my car...things like that.
a
Bill was my first love. I lived with him for 10 years. He wanted to marry. I didn't. But I stayed. I enjoyed the benefits of marriage with none of the obligations. (Men do that to women all the time.)
a
I wasted our mutual time. I was young and foolish.
a
When I left my sister came to help pack. We visited his company. We sat in the boardroom. There was a legal pad on the table. One of the employees grabbed it. But I saw it. It contained travel arrangements to the Bahamas for two (2). I thought, wow, he's making one last "play" to keep me.
a
The arrangements were for him and his X-wife. He was departing the day after I left.
a
Everyone in the room knew. Except me.
a
He was making a play for her. She had no interest but she took her free trip then she dumped him.
a
Then he called me. The argument was so heated someone at my house said, "Maybe Charmaine needs counseling". I didn't. I just needed to Kill Bill.
a
He declared bankruptcy. He forgot to declare the credit cards we mutually held leaving me holding the bag for 10's of thousands of dollars. Not to mention destroying my credit. He stole my baby grand, then he stole the money I was awarded when the movers damaged it.
a
I know the evil men do.
a
Below is me walking away. I'm prepared at all times.
