Hey i know just what you mean about being fooled. Only mine wasnt an outright sociopath, rather he led me carefully down a slippery slope. Even now i wonder what made me so star struck by him.

I guess these guys have all the right moves. Too bad it wasnt for them to get their own life, instead of trying to steal ours. I was so stupid i went to morocco twice, and even bought my own ring. haha. I am just glad that when he was pressuring me to send fiance visa and i realized how serious he was, i cut ties with him. And hmmm once he knew i wasnt going to marry him, he hasnt even contacted me. I will remember this costly mistake, with every dollar i now earn. But it could have been alot worse, i could have woken up like sleeping beauty, with his lazy ass here in the usa. anyway i amnow resigned to dating men my age warts and all. But it was an exotic excursion for awhile anyway, and i will chalk it up to life experiences.

take care
