OK, now I'm worried about you.
But the book sounds interesting. Maybe you should post highlights of it on the forum from time to time. Sounds educational.
I'm ok, Ruth- I appreciate the concern.
I really have to figure out what makes me an easy target for them-
I know I'm too naive
at times- maybe that's it.
Idk but it's exhausting.
If my stupid phone was cooperating, I'd post a link from the book. There's a list of traits of a psychopath, if anyone is interested- it's Dr. Robert Hare's psychopathy checklist......it's very accurate.

Sociopaths think emotions are for the weak and stupid. So if you wear your heart on your sleeve at all, you are a fool in their eyes. You then cease to be a person and instead become prey.

Yes, all the good hearted people always always get sucked in and assume that they are normal and that we should be good to them.
It is not surprising to me at all, really. People tend to normalize everything to themselves. People tend to assume that others think the way they themselves do. Someone who is suspicious of cheating may well be cheating himself/herself.
It's certainly not a rule, but I believe it's common.
Seriously. This is a good way of putting it.
My ex was cheating. His behavior was getting more and more out of control. He was getting desperate to find a way out. His girlfriend (who was Seriously Manipulative) convinced him that I must be cheating also. Which in his mind justified his behavior.
I was a housewife, a community volunteer, grad student, super mom. I was killing myself trying to raise our kids by myself. I had no interest in cheating and no one to cheat with. One Friday night he came home after being gone a week with no contact. He started in on me about my inadequacies. I picked up my purse and left him at the house with the kids so I could cool off and run some errands (at that point I had no interest in arguing). I went to walmart and the fabric store. When I got back, he was in a complete panic, deep into my internet history, trying to find evidence, because he was sure I had left the house for the arms of another man!!!! He was a wild eyed crazy man. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry.
Ten years later, he is remarried and I still can't find a man I want to be with. I sure hope she doesn't end up as miserable as I was, she is a nice woman who deserves better.
