Well the title says it all. A short and sweet version of what is happening is I was dating a guy who used me bad. told me he was 32 turned out to be 38. Got arrested after telling me he would never commit a crime and then lying about his crime. Later I find out he stole my credit card. I have been used and betrayed on every level. I have so much faith in people but starting to think that my faith may not be in the right place, maybe i should stick to my cats. lol
Really sorry to hear of your nasty experience. Put it down to bad luck if you can and try to move on. Try and learn from it but not to raise the barriers too high for the future. Keep the faith, it's worth it ......

Sorry for ya, Deciet comes in all ages in my case its was a 68yrs old goat that had to take a pill to get the lead in the pencil to write. Took my luv and used me. so u are not alone
lona726: You are very right I am not bitter just feel like an idiot because I just tried so hard to be a good person and keep getting kicked in the butt
If this is happening alot then perhaps you need to check over your selection process.
lona726: well that's true. I just try so hard to be a good person and too often that is taken advantage of. I guess i do need to rethink these men
If you know you are good then stop working at that and focus your efforts more on them, checking them out somehow, difficult if they are strangers but try and meet their friends and family. This may help you make a gut judgement on their character type.
getglad: Decent women meet decent men. It's that simple.
Actually it's very often decent women who meet up with scoundrels, and mistakenly trust them because their past experiences have taught them that people are trustworthy. At some point everyone goes through some disillusionment about that, but it sounds like the OP had it tougher than most.
Once the trust of a innocent is destroyed, it is very hard to earn it back, and just as hard for the innocent person to award it again.

Many bad things have happened to me also..
One day I learned that I needed to ask ONE question of myself.
