Many times i have felt guilty about not having seen the signs and it's impossible to explain to people just how conniving they are unless i am talking with women who have been through this experience.

These men are smart like a fox. He was preparing the divorce case even before the marriage !!! Every little detail worked out for the arguments he was going to present to court. He was collecting documents and trying to direct my behavior towards giving him proofs for the divorce right from the moment we met ! Can you imagine ?

As for money, he waited until we married before saying "it's not your money, it's OUR money" in reference to my pension money. And when i wouldn't give him money, then he would say all i cared about was my money. The guilt trip attempt was too transparent to take seriously. Nonetheless i used a lot of money for his immigration before i caught on to his scam.
