What a great thread. I think it is amazing how it is all script. We all get told so many of the same things. The classic ILYBINILWY etc.
And we laugh about the crazy hurtful stuff our x's say/said. KML you walk heavy and I chew loud.... Seriously?!?
What I'm finding hard in my new life where I attempt to date people is trust. Very hard. I have a low tolerance for any kind of deception. And so many of the internet driven dates have brought out liars.
I am proceeding carefully with the guy I am currently dating. He just about didn't get a third date because he kept talking about someone, who he paddles with. And finally said "she". I asked him before our first date was he seeing anyone else and he said no. But meeting with someone 3-4 times a week, even as a workout buddy, especially a woman sort of seems like some sort of relationship. And I think on our next phone conversation I will explore this with him.
I quit talking to another guy I was going out with because I caught him in one lie too many. He has been divorced either 4, 7 or 10 years. And he is either 59 or 64. (I think 60 something, thou he is very fit.)
Anyway, back to betrayal. We all got a dose of it. And we just can't make the crazy stuff up.
