Things with my boyfriend, Scott, had been unraveling for months, and I was exhausted from being the only one trying. He barely texted, barely called, and when we were together, his attention lived inside his phone. Still, I convinced myself that romance could fix what neglect had slowly broken.<\/p>\n<p>So I booked a luxury hotel. The kind people save for anniversaries or once-in-a-lifetime trips. Marble bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows. A rooftop pool. Chocolate-covered strawberries waiting on the bed. The total came to just over $3,000.<\/p>\n<p>We agreed to split the cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust put it on your card for now,\u201d Scott said. \u201cI\u2019ll pay you back. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I should have listened to the voice in my head telling me this was a mistake. But I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6638610645332968\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_2_host\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"google-anno-skip google-anno-sc\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" aria-label=\"Investigative journalism courses\" data-google-vignette=\"false\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>By Friday evening, we checked in. The lobby smelled like jasmine and money. The room was perfect. Rose petals scattered across the bed. Champagne chilling in a silver bucket. I stood there smiling, waiting for him to react.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is perfect, right?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>He barely looked up from his phone. \u201cYeah. Sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At dinner, silence sat between us like a third person. I tried to talk. Asked about work. Asked about plans. Asked if he was okay. Each answer was clipped, distracted, irritated.<\/p>\n<p>By the next morning, I woke up to him sitting on the edge of the bed, staring out the window like he was rehearsing something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need space,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>We were literally on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>By that evening, he ended it. Not face to face. Over text. While sitting in the hotel lobby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we should break up. I just need to be alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he told me to leave.<\/p>\n<p>He said he\u2019d stay at the hotel to \u201cclear his head\u201d and promised again that he\u2019d pay me back. I packed my things while he scrolled through his phone. When I walked out, he didn\u2019t even look up.<\/p>\n<p>I cried the entire drive home.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, my bank notifications started coming in.<\/p>\n<p>Room service.<br \/>\nBar tabs.<br \/>\nSpa services.<\/p>\n<p>I called Scott. Straight to voicemail.<\/p>\n<p>I called the hotel and asked them to stop charging my card. They told me the card on file would remain active until checkout.<\/p>\n<p>A week later, the final bill posted.<\/p>\n<p>Almost $6,000.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when I saw it. A couples\u2019 spa package.<\/p>\n<p>He hadn\u2019t stayed alone.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d brought someone else to the hotel I paid for.<\/p>\n<p>I drove to his apartment, furious and shaking, ready to demand my money back. But when I got there, I stopped cold. A woman\u2019s heels on the stairs. A purse I didn\u2019t recognize. Laughter drifting from upstairs.<\/p>\n<p>I heard him say it clearly, proudly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was such a fool. Paid for everything. Got rid of her at the perfect time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was the moment my heartbreak turned into something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t confront him. I left.<\/p>\n<p>At home, I started boxing up his things. Old hoodies. Sneakers. A gaming controller. And then I found something that changed everything.<\/p>\n<p>Luxury products. Designer cologne. High-end razors. Skincare kits. All unopened.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6638610645332968\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfill-optimized\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_3_host\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"google-anno-skip google-anno-sc\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" aria-label=\"Recipe books\" data-google-vignette=\"false\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>Scott was an influencer.

All $6,000 of it.<\/p>\n<p>The caption was written exactly how Scott talked:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust had the BEST week at a 5-star hotel! Used my girlfriend\u2019s money to live like a king. Lobster, champagne, couples\u2019 massages with my NEW girl. Sometimes you gotta use people to get what you want. No regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then I went through his sponsored posts.<\/p>\n<p>For the cologne brand, I wrote that it smelled like regret and expired pickles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"autors-widget\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"autors-container-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For the razor, I wrote that it left his face looking like a crime scene.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6638610645332968\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_4_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>For the skincare line, I wrote that it caused the worst breakout of his life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6638610645332968\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_5_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>For the fitness supplement, I wrote that it caused stomach cramps and humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>Post after post.
