Eric said:I can say one good thing, that in all committed relationships, I never cheated. Only when it was "officially" over did I start looking again. But I have been cheated on, which was a mystery since most of the women in my "heyday" said that they could not keep up with me(in the way that you think, yes). I could only come to the conclusion that it was like shoplifting when you have the money.........just for the thrill of knowing you got away with it.
Once, in 1990 I met a married woman. She was separated and living with a girlfreind. To make a long story short, I got involved with her, she divorced her husband then we got married. My life was buried by my mistake to get involved with her. Disaster followed this woman like a magnet. Her insanities and problems led to me dropping out of nursing school when I was very close to finishing. Acedemically I was fine, she just...made sure I could not afford tuition. She cheated too. In 1994 I finally got a hold of a phone conversation between her and a male security guard, discussing his "anatomy" and arranging to get together. That's when I let her go for good. She made a horrible comment to me once that in the future, my "next one" would be worse than her and do more damage than she did.
She was right. From 1994 to 1998 I had a few relationships, but the one in 1998 was far worse and led to 10 years of hell. Another story for another time(the one from 1998 to 2008), but the one I divorced in '94 was right. If I could go back to 1990 and avoid meeting her, I would not be living in a vacuum with not one phone number I can call. Single men should stay away from married women even if they are separated. The resulting baggage will drag you down permanently.
Why put up with it? Why deal with it? I don't understand for the life of me why people allow themselves to be dragged in the mud. That was horrible she made the effort to make sure you couldn't afford your Nursing school. Just horrible. Mean, vicious person she was. I'd never make that much of an effort to tear someone down. I'd rather leave someone alone than to make such an effort.
She knew your future relationship would be bad, because somewhere in your mind - in the back of your mind, but still there... what she had done to you would be there. And it's almost like a game she played with you. It's almost like she set you up for failure, and then to cheat on you... She really didn't care. Why put up with a person like that?
