recently thought I'd start dating again, met a nice guy & have been hitting it off.. talking to a friend about the new guy I met & they suggest google-ing his name..found a news article from another state saying some crazy stuff that isn't sitting well! I talked with him about it, he gave me his side of the story & Im still not sure how to handle it.. he even said he understands if I dont want to continue things & the ball is in my court. hes a changed man, the story has lies, I can talk to his family & friends if I want... but,, ugh,, really!? why do I always find the fuckin crazy guys. seems to be time to move on from here, which sucks but yea haha idk what to do!
Re: why me? lol
My XH seemed great. Stable job, couple speeding tickets, motivated worker, strong family attachment, valued my opinions and independence, ect. That was before we were married. After he became an @$$. I won't bore you with the details but I had no way of knowing he'd do what he did. He's already been married and divorced a second time and people I've seen who know him and should like him say he's turned into an @$$. Relationships are chances. You weigh your odds and what you could lose. If the loss is too high get out. It sounds like he's copper to his offenses and is realistic that his past behavior could hurt his chances in future relationships. That sounds good but listen to your instincts. They'll probably know best.
The last two guys I dated were both crazy liars. Not off the Internet, met them in real life FYI. They both lied about their names, one lied about his age, where he lived, his job everything.
The next one lied about his name, being married, having an infant and oh having a vasectomy. Guess who's 27 weeks pregnant? Me that's who!
I got tiny red flags in the beginning from both but let them go. You should not be compromising this early in a relationship. Right now this guy is no different from
Anyone else off the street so send him back. But if you let this crazy thing go, be prepared for more crazy stuff to surface because it will.
So I'm bowing out! I got my own fish to fry- my own shit to deal with, and I don't need anything else or anyone elses baggage to handle
