Saskia

He's not overly showy, trying to impress us.

He's being polite, he's being respectful.

Okay, you know, maybe this guy will work.

With her friends' and sisters' approval, any doubts Saskia had about Mike went away.

Everybody from the get-go thought that he was just a catch.

Mike was a great boyfriend.

He took Saskia on nice dates, basketball games, fancy dinners, massages.

He had plenty of money for us to do nice things and it made me feel really special and important that he wanted to do these fun things with me and that I was worth that to him.

But right as Mike started to get serious, Saskia pulled away.

She was still in the middle of her custody battle.

She didn't have room for one more thing on her plate.

There was one time where I was having like a breakdown about stuff with the kid's dad.

And I just said, I can't deal with you right now.

Like I'm going through too much.

And he was like, no, I'm coming over.

Let me help you through this.

That night, he went over.

He wanted to be there.

He said, I will never hurt you.

I will always be here for you.
