Dear Lady Naive---"They are all jealous" excuse

Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Aug 16, 2009 at 00:47

Hi there! Thanks for sharing!

First of all, Lady Naive, you were taken for a ride by a man you trusted. I guess it would be trite of me to say "well, these things happen", but you're not the only one. When my first on-line debacle ended, I thought I was the only idiot this happened to as well, but after reading some of the stories on here, especially by Isis, sash and yasemin, I found that my story paled in comparison.

Yasemin was nearly poisoned by her man, Sash's man cheated on her, perhaps even while she defended her relationship with him on here, and Isis's ex-husband cheated on her while she was going through a very tough medical situation.

I wanted to address the excuse your man gave that people on-line are just "jealous". That is common excuse used by scammers to reassure of their, ahem, "honourable" intentions.

I understand how you feel, that you think he still has feelings for you, and he might, but that does not fundamentally change the situation.

The best thing I think you can do is break off all contact with him, Block his number and uninstall your messenger programs if you must.

Please feel to stick around here as much as you need to.
