Thank you all for your help...I feel so alone in all this. And I am soooo sorry that he deceived all of you also. He deceived many people, including our priest. Much of what he said was correct...the separation was very difficult, but it doesn't excuse his behavior especially toward me, but also to everyone who cared about him and what he was going through.
He even paid hundreds!!! of $'s in material to make him better at online dating and getting women to go to bed with you on the first date...etc...the list is too long to even think about (all of which he still hasn't cleaned out of our computor. He also paid for consultations with dating/picking up women...all of whom were advising him to go the opposite direction you all were telling him to go.
