I am a woman in my late 40's, but I look much younger... or I use to, but after 8 years of being with and loving a man who only used me,  you can see the stress in my face and I'll never trust another man again.  I am not bitter, but hurt and questioning "Why me?"... Yes it can happen to anyone, but it can happen to those of you (like me) who had become vulnerable and tired of the drama from past relationships that have gone bad.. Yes!  you can believe anything when you are in love with someone because they don't beat you and take you for granted.. at least in my case this seemed to be the case for a few years, then all hell broke loose.  Yes! I was lied to from the first day I met him, but I only found out about two years ago.  I was used to create a new personality for this guy, get him a music career, hooked him up the theatre and music producers, bands etc. , and put my own music career on hold to manage him.. how was I repaid?  He just went out and found another vulneralbe victim and got her pregnant, and she called me to tell me all about their excapade, knowing that I don't frequent the bars and wouldn't know otherwise.  While with me, this man had one hell of a good life and yes, I loved him with all my heart, but after seeing that he was hooked on hoochies, porn, and alcohol, I had a talk with him that went into one ear and out the other.. I left him and six months later, he got evicted from his place.. Yes! being in love with a looser, I again let my guard down and took him in, only to find out that he told the world and the internet hoochies that he was single and living with his female roomate... some roomate.. we were a couple.  The lies got bigger and bigger, he was an airline pilot, a professonal dancer in his day who owned a studio that some woman bought for him, he was a Cordon Bleu Chef, and he use to tell me stories of his past, like being an addict and a gangster.  He was a LIAR!!!  Do I hate him, NO!... but I do feel sorry for anyone who cannot love themselves enough to tell the truth about who they rally are and to live life covering the lies they have told.  God Bless all of the men / women out there who don't know who they really are... I for one will not get caught up again.  Like the rest of you out there, I am scared of many things, but hell no! I am not going to be afraid to live the life the I deserve to have... a peaceful and sane one...  There are some good people left in this World.  I know because I am one of them... I hope my story inspires someone out there to know that  " If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is"... hold your head up high and never change who you are for anyone... You deserve better.
