It is incredible difficult to trust once someone you care for betrays you. I am so proud of the girl for finding the strength within herself to rise above the situation. The next relationship she fell into appears to be much more functional and healthy =)

Once upon a time, I dated a man who had much in common with Craig and because of that, I cannot tell you how thankful I am that the girl is no longer the unwitting victim of his cruel game.

How awful. I think that the fact that you’re writing about it (hopefully) means you’re really moving on.

I second our very wise friend Dana: you are really great. I’m proud of you for sharing this story. As women, so many of us have had things happen to us in romantic relationships for which we feel shame and embarassment. . . and nothing makes me more proud than those women who can later tell the story, look back, and finally realize we have nothing to feel shameful or embarassed about.

I have a scary guy in my past as well. It is amazing how much they can affect your life when you are young and vulnerable. I am glad you are able to overcome it. I have to…

It’s hard for me to believe that there are people like Craig out there. What a creep.

That loser is a pathological sociopath - and you his unwitting victim. I hope you know it’s not your fault. You trusted him - as well you should have. He’s to blame and it’s quite clear he’s a sick, abusive guy.

I hope you’ve released this by sharing it - and thank you for that. And I hope other people reading this who have been victimized by similar psychos can realize that they, too, did nothing wrong.

I met a guy at a college party once, told me he was a sophomore at another college and was in a fraternity there, which was why he was able to get into this frat party. So I spent some “quality time” with him one night, only to find out a couple of days later (from friends actually) that he was still in high school. My friends saw his car driving around town in the middle of the week when he should’ve been away at college and followed him - to the high school. That’s how they found out. He came to visit me about a week or two later (on the weekend of course) and after asking him a series of questions about his school, his classes, etc. I finally asked “So when’s prom?” and he knew he was caught. Fortunately, he took it much better than Craig did. He was embarassed and sorry and I forgave him, but obviously didn’t date him because he was untrustworthy.
I’m glad you were able to realize that not all people are creeps like Craig. There are lots of ‘em, but your hubby is not one of them.

P.S. Can you come to the blogger meetup?

My god, what an odd thing to do to himself and especially to other people? That’s more than being a cocky jerk, that’s insanity.

I’m so happy you are getting there, healing slowly and surely. Look what an amazing person you’ve become, despite his ass!!!
