When you find out your SO is not the person you thought they were

I watch a lot of shows like Dateline, Mystery Detectives (lol worst crime show title ever), etc., and one thing I've learned is that it's scary the way people can be so deceptive. What's more, how their partners can be so clueless about it! I just don't buy it!
I mean, if you watch these shows about total psychos - liars, manipulators, etc., you realize that the real dummies are the people who shack up with them - because it's so BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that these people are insane. It's hard to see them as victims.
What do you think? Do people really know when their SO is a goddamn lying psycho? Do they just ignore it because they are in love? Is it a protective thing?
Or are people really just that stupid?
edit: this doesn't even cover all those cheaters on Ashley Madison, or the weirdos on Craigslist, lol. |

So you've come to the realization that your SO is a psychopath?
I know a girl my age who's been in an 8-year long relationship with someone who she realized is a psychopath, in retrospect. Supposedly it also may have been the trigger to her psychosis/BP diagnosis.
Get out while you can if you're having serious misgivings. |

Lol thanks. :stongue:
And what about double lifers? I love reading Craigslist personals, simply because of all the weird people are into, and I often think that those postings could be someone I know or work with, a neighbour, etc.
It's just in bizarre that people can keep stuff like that from people close to them. How does a person not know?
A chick work with told me about catching her husband cheating, but as she shared her story it was obvious the signs were there from the beginning, but she chose to ignore them.
The ego is in stupid. Retrospect my ass. |

| I think also some people get scared as coming off as the psycho gf so they ignore their gut instincts. |

I agree about ignoring gut instincts, but the rest doesn't make sense lol.
edit: no no, my bad. I get it now. Yeah maybe. Still stupid. |

| I think it has almost everything to do with the fear of being alone, and being so attached to the person despite it being obvious that they're the wrong person for you. Attachment is the source of all human misery. So they'd rather stick around rather than being alone, ignore all the red flags and their intuition, which is dumb as , but that's most people for you. They seem to be gluttons for misery and mistreatment. |

| Not to make this thread about Jodi Arias, but look at her. She was a blatant stage 5 clinging psycho...but I can see why she felt driven to kill her bf. There is no way he didn't realize it from the start and just strung her along because of how pathetically obsessed she was with him. I'm sure he had total control over her and that had to make his ego feel pretty good. Men love psychotic bitches. They always deny it, but history (and HLN, lololol) proves otherwise! |
