I Am Smart

Don't believe everything you read. Don't judge a book by its cover. Take the time to get the facts before you believe someone. Does that sound jaded? It's smart. Learned from many years of getting burnt online.

I fell hard for a man in another state. I thought he was honorable, after all he was in a respected position and I could see he was in a bad situation. But and a big but, His story didn't add up. I started putting the pieces together, stories and facts I received from him and others. The story was not pretty. He was a pathological liar, condescending and untrustworthy all under a smooth talk. He lied about things that he didn't need to lie about which was another clue. And he couldn't remember those lies which is what tripped him up.

Even after confronting him with the facts, he couldn't admit it. He wriggled and squirmed. I had the truth in front of me but i let my heart cloud my judgment.

What I did was look at the evidence. Did i want to spend the rest of my life with someone I couldn't trust? No. I deserve better than that. [b]I drove to meet him and I regret it to this day. [/b]

I wish I could share the story with you but it is best that I keep that to myself.
