About a month ago they told this story on Dateline or 48 hours or one of those shows. Although he asked her to increase the insurance, apparently her Dad, an insurance agent, told her not to. I don’t know if he knew this. The show was much ado about not so much...the parents were bit bulls and I suspect this is why this is happening now. Not saying he didn’t do it...he did leave her there. And they tried to make him look like a rotten guy, but the woman did marry him. Why do women marry lousy men? Is being alone that horrible that you would rather live with a scumbag than being by yourself? I don’t get it.

There's a lot of dumb women out there. I can say that because I'm a woman. I was married once and divorced in '78. Raised my two sons alone. Even now, my sons have no idea where their father is. I found out by accident several years ago, that he had moved out of state when I took my car into a Midas Muffler, and they pulled his name up on the database. He'd never bothered to contact our sons. I've never been sorry I divorced him, or that I never married again. Fortunately, I learned a long time ago that I'd rather live alone and be happy, than live with someone and be totally miserable.

Should we allow a lousy man to kill his wife according to your notion?

Women who marry lousy men OUGHT TO DIE!

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

This guy did this....believe it.

It's a complex question to answer. The concept of putting ones best foot forward is at play here. This is where con-artists excel. The con-man or woman will out wine and dine the other "competitors" because the con-artist is only thinking of the moment with no future reservations.

My experience with people; men and women both is that the ones who have the smoothest, slickest most charming public appearance are merely angels in public and tyrants in private.

This is one reason why in dating, it's important to look for indirect clues found by getting to know the family and friends. Sometimes, this can cause you to pass on a person that would have genuinely been a good mate but more times than not, if the person you are interested in seems quite different from the family and friends, the person is probably pulling the wool over your eyes and you need to move on.

Then there's the matter of a person who came from a dysfunctional background having a comfort zone where they feel that they are comfortable with a bad match.

Guys like this are sociopaths - very good at playing normal over the short term. Add to that a woman's desperation to get married and a willingness to see what she wants to see in a man, and you have all the ingredients for disaster.
