This is why I believe that saying that "there is nothing hidden under the sun".
Mike thought he found a foolish gold mine and he tapped in as he liked forgetting that karma is a bitch.
This is why most persons counsel ladies not to love too deeply because they might abuse that beautiful emotion.
Christabel was able to do what she did because she was a kind and loving person but good old Mike thought she was boring. I'm glad she confronted him and took back her assets that she bought. By the time Mike saves up money to buy properties, he will realize the mess he put himself in.
Cheating, insincerity, violence and dishonesty is a deal breaker for me. I will not hesitate to let go of such toxic relationship because like you stated a leopard cannot change its spots.
I think women should be wise and not become helper of destiny to an irresponsible jerk of a man. I know no one is perfect but a man who can be responsible and committed to the relationship, is the man worth doing all for.
Ladies should stop this what will people say propaganda. It is not people's life you are living but your life and you only have one life.
Staying in a toxic relationship helps no one at not the lover not the lovee.
Glad to have my point.
Have a great weekend sis
