To Linda

A very bright, insightful lady who has made the right decision. My advice is to simply ignore him and act as if he doesn't exist. He is narcissistic and a sociopath and the only way to get his attention is simply to act as if he doesn't exist. It will take a few weeks for him to get the message but he will soon come to understand that you are a very bright woman. Then he will move on to his next prey.

Unless one is familiar with the religion and culture which are one in the same, it's difficult to understand the behaviors of these men. Do something nice for yourself and look at this experience as a good learning experience.
