It is truly amazing how messed up these people think. The sad part is THEY BELIEVE what they think. And even sadder? WE try to have RELATIONSHIPS with these people! We even have SEX with them, so wrapped up in whatever we are wrapped up in, our hurt and longing and desperation, that we can't see how fcked up they really are. Yech.
No more for me, baby. FINALLY I am at a point in my life where, when I see crazy comin', I cross the street! (Iyanla VanZant advice). (Still getting my toes run over but I am getting better at this.)

Jenny, "his version"...wow. Warped. I hope you're feeling better these days.
I gotta say, the last few days have been easier and better ones than I've had in a long time. Knowing the truth has given me a lot of clarity. That huge lie about his marriage has cemented my resolve to stay away, and I don't find myself missing him like I did. Amazing how prayers can be answered in ways that you least expect.

"That huge lie about his marriage has cemented my resolve to stay away, and I don't find myself missing him like I did."
This is exactly why when someone goes back with, or breaks No Contact with, an alcoholic or addict, I think "Well, s/he's just not reached that point yet." A lot of the time I think the universe reveals only so much truth at a time. I am so glad you have reached the point where you can see clearly what your gut has been telling you for so long.
Good for you!

They say the truth will set you free; let's hope.
Lol, everything ties back to a song --- Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks... good stuff!

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...

Jenny...so weird that you would post those lyrics. Twice in one day last week, I was shopping in different stores and guess what was on the radio. Yep, that song. I knew I was "supposed" to be hearing it. And here they are again. Thanks.
Thanks.
