Who is Sabrina Taylor and what is her background?

Ray William Johnson 0:00
So don't ever date this woman. Now her name's Sabrina, and Sabrina is around 25 when this story starts, and she's living in Seattle. And Sabrina is totally into nerd culture. She loves anime and comic books, and she's into the whole cosplay scene in Seattle where she lives. Now, she also really wants a little romance in her life, like she wants to fall in love, but she just hasn't met anyone yet. Then one day, around the early 2010s, she posts an ad on Craigslist. And the ad is basically a rant about how white guys in Seattle are afraid to date black women because they never message her back. And pretty quickly, this guy comes across it. His name is Aaron. And so Aaron sees this ad and he's like, I'm a white guy in Seattle.

I'm not afraid to date a black woman. And he sends her a message and he starts trying to get to know her. So then the two start messaging back and forth and they hit it off and they have a lot of the same interests. They're both into nerdy stuff. They send each other pictures and they start liking each other. So they meet up, and that seals the deal. Sabrina and Aaron officially start dating. And Aaron, he's never had a girlfriend before, so he's excited about this. This is gonna be great for him. And soon, they start going to anime cons together, and they're both pagans, so they start practicing paganism together. And Sabrina is in college, so she doesn't have a lot of money. So Aaron pays for a lot of their dates, and, you know, he's fine with that because he's a gentleman.

And so they date for about nine months. And at some point during that time, Sabrina moves in with him. So now they're living together.

How did Sabrina and Aaron's relationship begin?

Then around this time, something crazy happens. Aaron comes home from work one day and he finds Sabrina upset. Because she had gone to the doctor earlier, and she says the doctor diagnosed her with MS, or multiple sclerosis. And this is devastating for the both of them. I mean, not only is this a terrible disease, but it can be really expensive to treat. And so Aaron, he's going to do whatever he can to help. And they're going to get through this together. Now, sometimes Sabrina has medical insurance, but most of the time she doesn't. And when she doesn't, Aaron has to step in and offer to cover the cost of her medication and such. But it turns out that the medication she needs at first costs around $450 a month.

And so Aaron is like, I can't afford this. And so then Sabrina starts suggesting that if she doesn't get these meds, she's going to unalive herself. Yeah, red flag. Now, Aaron, he's not going to let that happen. So he starts finding ways to pay for her medication, like taking out payday loans and stuff like that, borrowing money. And this really sucks for him. But he does end up getting a little bit of hope. He eventually gets his dream job, working as a programmer for Nintendo. And this is a bump up in pay for him. And so with this new money, he knows that he's going to have his girlfriend's health covered. So he gives Sabrina more and more money when she asks for it. And he's paying like $800 a month now for her new medication, and he's also helping her with money for her tuition.

And when he gets a raise at Nintendo, Sabrina just asks for even more money for stuff. She even says they need to drive a nice new car, so he gets a new car. Then she says that they need to get a house, so he puts a down payment on a house. She also has a very compulsive shopping habit. Like she buys a lot of high-end makeup and she always buys new clothes for herself every month. And she can't help pay for any of this stuff because she can't get a job because she has MS. So she's limited physically. And anytime things get rough for them, either emotionally or financially, or anytime Sabrina doesn't get what she wants, she freaks the f*** out and she claims that she's going to unalive herself. So Aaron just keeps working hard and he keeps paying for everything, trying to take care of the love of his life.

But then, things get really bad for him. Because not only does he lose his job at Nintendo, but one day Sabrina comes to him and she says that she wants to... open up their relationship.
