They do buty themselves in lies. They lie to everyone else too, and if you don't KNOW the truth what do you believe???
My STBX is soooooo convincing when he talks about it. Sometimes I question if I know truth from fiction. It's weird, he seems so sincere when he tells you crap that it doesn't seem like a load of crap. It seems like it's the truth and the way things ought to be. So does that make it better if she really didn't know?
Honestly, he was explaining to me how I need to be supportive of his R with ow to D9 because at some point I will meet someone else and I will need his support of that R. He was talking so nicely and sounded so rational that if I didn't KNOW the truth I would have bought it hook, line and sinker.
But I do not know what he has said to ow, I can only imagine. Still I believe that before you date someone else, especially before you move that person into your home with your kids, that they should be D. Final D, not this pending nonsense that seems to be acceptable. STBX and ow moved in together only 4 1/2 months after meeting (if you believe he started dating her in Dec 06). She has 3 kids, 13, 12 and something (according to D9), don't you think a rational person would take more time than that before moving this person in with her kids. I know she is D and has been for a while, but neither one of us had even FILED when she moved him in. He didn't file until 5 months after he started living with her. Seesh.
