Now I know that it was anything but innocent on his part...it was very calculated. If there was a Hall of Fame for brilliant psychopathic liars, he would be in it.
Gee....what was his name, sounds familiar.....
I feel like screaming his name from the rooftops...please don't tempt me, lol. You have the added knowledge that this guy has a string of victims. Mine got to present himself to me AS the victim of his W. And you know what...everything he told me was true. I've been able to confirm it independently...something that happened with her during our R was even online. And he checked out, all his details checked out. You can even Google him. He and his wife are high profile people. Both insane, but high profile. The Great Lie was his personality. Not only was he not who I thought he was...he is the polar opposite.
My situation is complicated, I have the added stress that my H got diagnosed with cancer in the middle of this...so I had a lot of stress going on. But I think the main thing that's happened to me as a result of the OM thing is the inability to make decisions, and confusion...and a numbing out kind of. I can't decide what to make for dinner, I can't even remember what I know how to make...and I like to cook. When I went on antidepressants it was because of bouts of crying...like..in the middle of Target. So. But my husband is a crazy-maker too, so who knows where one starts and one stops.
Finding out I was only a target hurt, but it set me free too. But I don't recommend trying to convince your W this has happened to her. It's so hard to come to terms with that maybe some people can't.
