I think thats everyone.....sorry, would've been off sooner, but was scooped off to a nice lunch in the middle of my responses lol. Take care everybody, this is my official farewell
To be totally honest aj, because of my experience with the whole marriage thing, I have frowned on the idea for several years and if anyone would change my outlook, it would be him. I trust him with my life, always have.
Thank you Z because what I have with him is something very different and its time for me to focus on what I have and get to where I want to be. I've been on this site for the past 2 years and its just time for me to let go
Bogart, I can understand that but what they accept and not accept about their own acceptance from others is their own demon to face and I'm a firm believer in handling behaviors as such rather than judge the individual that possesses them.
Torm......exactly my point. What people see on their computer screen us that this man is a successful accountant, what they don't see, us that he's homeless, jobless and struggling, but because its what his profile says, its believed until the truth comes out and he's a bad person because it was misleading, even though it was an isolated fun on his part because he wanted to hide his harsh reality. What people see on their computer screen is this beautiful woman, who may very well be to some, but yet us considered to be fake when met in person. She was just trying to hide her own insecurities and be accepted. But thought of as a bad person because she was "fake". Both scenarios "labeled" without understanding.
I have made a similar mistake years ago, though I had paid for his plane ticket from England to come to the states for a month on visa .... Fact is, he was very different than he was online. Many things said in text weren't true. I just played it out, treated him like a guest in our country.....we had a month so I just made the best of it, knowing it wouldn't be forever and treated it like more of a cultural experience rather tha any type of relationship until he went back so it wasn't an uncomfortable situation for either one of us until he returned to his country. Was he happy about me discontinuing all contact? Of course, but I'd like to think he learned from it. Would I do it again? No. I certainly learned from the experience but i wouldnt be bitter about it. Lessons learned on his part and mine. He was wrong for lying.....for whatever reasons. And I made the mistake for allowing it to happen.
Right KN, good point leave something out rather than lie about it. Common sense would play a part in that choice but unfortunately common sense isn't always so common
Too blind to see what was blatantly in front of me
