Rambler, thank you so much for the kind words. The truth is online, people present them in a way that is not always truthful. an understatement...for sure. I took time to know this man many many months before i met him. I still didn't figure it out until afterwards.

@sheerhot, the problem is i took the time to get to know this man. knew him over 5 years and still had to uncover the deception. thank you lovey...

A story with a moral for all who pass through here. We all learn, usually the hard way.

That's not jaded.

Thank you Tumbleweed. I would hope I am not. Its hard after you spend months thinking you know someone only to find out you don't

Im so sorry to hear that.
