He thought it was completely normal to do a line of coke in his car before taking me to our next destination. I was stunned since I didn't do drugs at all and I never gave any vibe that I did.
It was even more shocking because he was a blind date my friend set me up with. She knew me well (and knew him) and knew this was not my scene at all. It wasn't hers either, but she lacked something that really left me dry. It was the beginning of the end of our friendship.
This was a very long time ago, but I never forgot it.

@Peapod A textbook "Well....that just happened" moment lol

@SW-User I was genuinely shocked. He seemed nice enough at the restaurant we all met up at.
Lesson learned about getting into a car with a stranger, even though I had trusted my friend's "judgement". I would have gotten out of his car right there and then if my friend was still there in her car.

@Peapod Better you discovered that right away than get invested in relationship and find out down the line when feelings are involved. Perhaps your judgment was right on that night.

@SW-User Most definitely, but if I were to be honest, I didn't choose well after him. I had to hit my middle age years before I got it right.

@Peapod What counts is you got it right. The age part is irrelevant. I'm glad you got the right one.

@SW-User Thank you. I do feel blessed for myself, but sad that my kids did not have the father they needed when they were growing up because of who I chose to make a life with.
I really didn't know better then, but know now. Luckily, my kids do love the man I am married to now, even though he didn't come into their lives until they were adults.
