I just noticed just browsing this relationship section there are many people currently being dogged out but they don't see it. They explain their stories but the majority of people so compassion in their advice when many of the readers know the poster should leave the fool (man or woman)..

Don't I wish I knew! That's the thinking of a lovestruck 14-year-old.

Sad thread!

My exhusband cheated on me with a dispatcher at his work (yeah - he's a cop). I always thought there was something going on, but he insisted there wasn't. He told me I was crazy, jealous, insecure, and just wanted to control his life and who he could be friends with. I was right about everything! It takes a long time to get over being lied to by someone you loved and trusted.

It amazes me how some people can treat others and not even seem to feel any remorse for it.

A beautiful website that lists open cases in Maryland courts revealed someone who claimed to be a widower as someone who was really in the middle of a messy divorce in which his spouse also had charges of domestic violence against him.

Silly me for believing someone who said his wife DIED. After seeing the cases, all I could think was, "Maybe he wanted her dead, so he tried to kill her."

Glad to be rid of that one, boy howdy. Also, it's just more testimony to the fact that the gut doesn't lie. Something told me to look him up. Good thing I did.

This is what those internet background-check companies are for. You can run a criminal background check on people.

The way to do it is to get the company's free sample service, unless you plan to run a number of checks. I think it's PeopleSmart that makes a pitch as if joining only costs X, but then after you join, you find out you still have to pay separately for every check you run. I don't know if they all do that, but someone posted a critique of one of the companies, saying it's deceptive advertising.

Bear in mind that if you run a check and it comes up clear, that doesn't mean you can completely let your guard down. It only means that nothing is on the record.
