Quoting lostlove: how do I get past feeling like a fool who has been lied to??
Quote: I am tryig to trust h and that is hard to do when you have been lied to the way I have.
Perfectly understandable; it's not as if he deserves your trust the way he is acting. He enjoys your trust only at your sufferance.
Which gives the answer to your first question. You are not a fool because you are choosing to stay and work on the M-even though you have every right to dump him and legally slap him around-for the sake of all involved. You could (and maybe you will if you get fed up later), but you aren't.
You're standing for something better; and that makes him the fool.
