Bad online love affairs

You don't say.
Not like me then.
If I tell a story, I tell it once and that is it! :playful::eek:nthego:

As for your story BW.
You had me filling up there, and you sure were taken advantage of.
Please don't let that put you off men though, as there are some of us who are not like that.
Takin' a chance on Love needn't be such a bad experience.

This was the condensed story. Not retelling the whole thing again. :playful:
 

My 2nd husband, who I met online, did a 360' once we were married. I do not do well with jealous, controlling, lying, greedy, cheaters. Very short version of a very long story.

I did meet someone very nice on a Senior's forum, not long ago. However, I'm not looking for a relationship and didn't recognize that was what he wanted. I miss the friendship, but it's better to not be in touch.
 
Cats, dogs and horses are awesome friends-for-life, they listen closely to your every word, never judging...always loving.

That's it right there. If I was single again and I brought my dear Callie to the dog park. The gentleman that would look beyond the brawn and know a good tushy rub and he'll love you for life. Yeah he looks fearsome but nails on his hind parts ohhhh purrrrr.
 

I met my husband through a dating service in the early 70's. Back then, I think you paid a small fee and the company sent you a form to fill out, you sent it back and they put it in a computer to find a match. I only did this because a friend of mine said that a friend of hers, got a date with Pat Boone's son. I'm not sure he even had a son but I decided to do it. I think I received 4 or 5 matches. I went out with 3 of them, one lasted awhile and then I got a call from my now hubby. We dated for a little over a year before getting married. This month we will be happily married for 44 years. I think it was harder for the guys back then. They had to make the first move. We ladies just sat by the phone and waited. Mine was worth the wait.

I wonder if they really put your info into a computer back then or just sat people outside and office while they ran a machine to fake people out :D I swear my brain must be going, but I can't remember computers being used by average people then...I'm probably just not awake good

I was going to say that maybe Ruth and her husband have only been married 34 years (sorry Ruth) - in other words, I was going to agree with you - but I looked it up....

That was an interesting web site, I had no idea how they did what they did or if they did it at all. I remember the form I filled out was several pages long. Likes,dislikes, interests, etc. etc. They hit the target on about 80% of it, but not that high on all my matches. After I got engaged, I gave the address of the service to my girlfriend who was also husband hunting. She also married one of her matches. Several years later we were talking about our matches and her husband told me I was on his original list. I guess I didn't rate high enough in his mind to give me a call. We had a good laugh over that.I often wonder how that would have worked out, but there is no doubt in my mind I got the one that was right for me. We all remain good friends to this day,in fact we spent Easter together.

The average person didn't have computers back then, I filled out a paper questionnaire and sent it to the company that said they had a computerized system to make the matches. Actually I didn't understand the whole process, I was just interested in having a living, breathing man, who shared my interests pop out of it. At that time I was working in a nursing home and meeting eligible men in a nursing home was next to none.

I finally met this really nice guy. We talked for about a year online before I ever gave him my phone number. We would speak about 2 hours every single day for 6 months. He lived in the country he had 10 horses. He seemed refreshingly simple & uncomplicated and that is what I was wanting...a mellow uncomplicated non type A personality. He asked me to marry him. He drove to Texas we got a big U Haul truck and I moved to Indiana. It did not take me very long after I got there to realize he moved me there because he could not afford to own 10 horses. And he needed help mucking out horse crap because it was getting harder as he got older. He wanted to use my monthly money from my ex to improve an already lovely big barn he had. He was a horse hoarding nut. He wanted to put me to work and take all my other money. I felt like SUCH a stupid sucker. I drove back home in a U Haul. The next week he was flirting with another woman on that site. Me.. well I can't trust anyone anymore. That more or less finished me off as far as men goes.

There was a thread here before about 'have you tried internet dating' or something like that.

My question is did you ever get into the relationship in the 3D world and change your life only to discover you made a huge mistake?

((Hugs back at you, BW)) I paid for everything but utility bills for 7 mos. and the day he told me I spend too much money, is the day I stopped paying for things. It can go either way.. women users/men users. Something that's probably all too common.

Oh my gosh lol I get that one :D I only lasted ONE month with this guy, but that's because it took me two weeks to find someone in that strange place to come load my stuff back up on another U HAUL. Otherwise, I would have left after 2 weeks :D We went to the grocery store and I bought all the groceries because I didn't want him to have to spend money on me because he was whining constantly about the price of hay. So I buy lovely veggies and good stuff and he says " You spend too much money. Last year I had to eat dry dog food because I couldn't afford hay for my horses." I guess he was trying to make me feel bad. That's when it was over right there and then. I said " Look MF'R if you think I'm dumb enough to hoard animals I can't afford & expect me to eat like I'm homeless then all I can say is good luck with that insanity & I'm outta here as soon as I can get my stuff packed up and moved." As soon as I got back home I found out my kids had LIED to my ex about where I was and when I got back my ex called me up saying " Why didn't you tell me you were tired of living in the country? I bought you a house in the city. "( That's the house that burned up..easy come..easy go..) I asked my kids why they lied & they said " Dad went NUTS when he found out you moved to Indiana we thought he'd have a heart attack if we told him the truth." That was so weird. I'm so glad I didn't marry that horse nut. I was not brokenhearted at all when it ended..just disgusted and feeling slimey.. and stupid. Let me tell you there is a point where a persons obsession with animals becomes a huge mental problem & they don't get it when they have crossed over into lala land.
 
One deal breaker, this is a true story. When you've had the same four cats for years. When they suggest you move in it comes with...why don't you get rid of your cats and we'll get a new one to raise together? FAILDONOTPASSGO
