tony – We’ll see about that. I think I need a long-term break from dating (wait, I’m already in long-term break from dating…. oh well!).

Honey – Well, although the company was awful, the food was really good. : )

Don’t let him bother you though – it’s his problem.

Next!

tony – I think “quite stung” is quite the understatement. He’ll get caught eventually – I just hope she finds out sooner rather than later.

LostforWords – Who knows what she knows; I certainly had no idea. The night ended fairly normally, all things considered. I was still in shock for the rest of dinner, and it didn’t really hit me until I got home and realized exactly what had just transpired.

Andrew – I actually had to look up Patrick Bateman on Wikipedia (I’ve never seen the movie!), but yeah, he sounds just like David. Living this completely double life and being totally apathetic/emotionless about the whole thing. So fucking scary.

S – Two great points: (1) I do consider myself to be a generally good person, and it’s very hard for me to understand how someone like him can look at himself in the mirror each morning. (2) Often in these types of situations, omission is akin to guilt.

Michelle – Yes, the red flags were certainly there, and I knew he was a jerk/player all along, but I honestly didn’t think he was the kind of person who would sink to this level. That was the real shocker.

wolf biter – No kidding.

Susan Greene – Very well said – my sentiments exactly. This guy is a complete egomaniac and has probably been manipulating women for years. Too bad I allowed myself to get trapped in his toxic web.

Each time he fools a girl it emboldens him, boosts his ego, makes him feel like such a stud. It’s the ultimate in selfishness and immaturity, doing whatever he wants and without a care about who he might hurt along the way.

Goodbye and good riddance. At least you found out before you got in even deeper. Too bad the same can’t be said for the girl (sucker) he’s living with.

It’s cowardly for HotMarine not to tell the truth to the woman he’s living with. Not only is he cheating on her, but he’s cheating himself out of a better relationship. Clearly, HotMarine is not happy with the live-in girlfriend, if he’s pursuing affairs outside of the relationship.

Lastforwords: Hard to say if she suspects. Turns out the majority of women being cheated on have absolutely no suspicion.

Disillusionment sucks. But it makes us wiser.

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid this specific situation by my insatiable curiosity. Don’t ask, Don’t tell never worked for me. Anyone who so much as holds my hand has to pretty much tell me their life story and then some.
And predictably, the ones who prefer to withhold information are the ones with information that outs them as someone not worth my time. Everyone’s got complications, but being willing to talk about them shows maturity.

It’s quite simple: he’s an idiot.

Sooner or later it will bite him on the ass; just make sure you’re not around to see it.
