Have you, or do you know anyone who has been taken for a ride by a partner??
Have you ever been so smitten with a person, that you're oblivious to what's going on in front of your very eyes or are you so in love with that person, that you choose to ignore advice from friends.. Are you the last person to find out what you already knew but choose to ignore, whether it's a cheating partner or a money grabbing Ho??

Here goes another suicide post.. doh

If the theoretical question relates realistically or metaphorically to any alleged relationship between two alleged adults on these forums I suggest it is ignored and starved of any further Oxygen from which it may gain.

It doesn't have to be a suicide post if people act like adults.

In fact, I think your question is a good one and might relate to more people then will admit.

I was taken for a ride by someone I loved very much. People warned me about red flags but I didn't listen because emotional love is very powerful.

I hope this thread stays on track. IMO it could open up for a very good discussion of experiences.

Most of all, why do we let things like this happen to us?

Note my civil answer.
If you read it again my suggestion WAS constructive, given recent events, and the banning of innocent people for writing comments that were outside the rules. Feel free to make private comment or accustion where I will not be as polite.

Yes, let's hope the trolls stay clear.. I've never resorted to banned anyone from my threads but I may change my policy , depending on the the posters .

Getting back to the topic..
Yeh, I'm sure your experience is not an isolated one but I've never been in a situation such a as yourself, but I have a customer at work, a mature man in his sixties, who is smitten with a young oriental lady, 28, if my memory serves me right.. The thing is, all his money goes on phone calls, presents & hard cash to aid her , allegedly poor family in china .. He still has this idea that she will one day come to England & all will be rosy..
My question is , do I tell him he is being taken for a ride, or let him find out for himself.

If you feel the need to talk about previous events & the banning of members, then create your own thread.

I'd tell him what I think, if I had that type of relationship with him.

The things we regret in life tend not to be the things we do, but the things we don't do.thumbs up

NO - You created a thread and I provided a suggestion. After that I observed probable implications given reaction if it remained public all within the rules and the events are/were relevant.
As YOU indirectly made a threat by objecting to me commenting further on YOUR thread and that I must start my own, others have observed on other threads that you now have dual identity so I suggest if you have the guts to take me on in Private -- Do so.

@All/(AKA)ONE2note. I don't know if I'd cross that line or not by telling him.

He must want someone to love so bad that he is willing to give all he has to this lady.wave
