A woman I was seeing emotionally blackmailed me into buying her expensive gadgets – The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: I WAS seeing a woman who emotionally blackmailed me into getting her the latest mobile phone and a laptop.

She is beautiful and I felt lucky that she wanted to date me.

I am 45 and she is 30.

She had lost her job and fallen on hard times, so she was very unhappy.

I offered to help her out and give her some money to buy new clothes.

She was loving towards me for a month, but then she started to change.

She turned cold, demanding the phone and laptop.

Once she got what she wanted, she said I was too boring and she dumped me.

I have blocked her on social media but have now lost all confidence in women.
