Reply #72: Um, no I don't ... but I did check up on one person becasue I guessed

[bettyellen]

that I was being lied to. and there was a shocking amount more on record when he said it was one little thing. i was much more serious and violent than i could have ever imagined, and there was a whole other history of crazy loose cannon behavior i would have never guessed at either. in the end, it made clear a lot of my reservations were rooted in little signs i was ignoring because he had some good cover stories and was a pretty good con artist, a very charismatic person. but he was actually a pathological liar. i feel lucky to know. circumstances (that he orchestrated) almost landed him living with me, becasue i can be a big sucker! so i am grateful i was able to find out if not the whole truth as you might say, but a real part of his history he did not want to account for. it explained a lot of what at least subconciuosly was not adding up. i really would have given him the benefit of the doubt, but only because i had been so well deceived.
