Have You Ever Dated Someone Living a Double Life? If so, What Was it Like?
It was no walk in the park, but I dove in head first.
Well, of course, I did! I guess that’s what you call what I experienced? There’s a plot twist at the end.
I met her on a cold November night. She was just out of an abusive marriage, but was she? Her ex tried to kill her, but did he?
She loved everything I loved, and I loved everything she loved; Manipulation.
FUCK! Finally! A match made in heaven. She is who I have been searching for my whole life! Finally, someone to appreciate what I have to offer! She told me she never met anyone like me before! I am her “one!”
But wait!
It’s Saturday night, and she doesn’t want to hang out?
Wait! What? Why not?
What is going on here? Is she married?
Why, yes, she is. Not only married.
She’s talking to my best friend and has a guy in Oregon AND an “emotional” support guy here in the city with whom she cheated on her husband. All these little bundles of joy wrapped up into one! How clever of her!
She had far more than a double life; she lived a completely fake, delusional life.
And guess what?
She believes it.
And I stopped.
