Oh so true!
Thanks for posting!
When my sister first saw photos of my ex, taken before I married him, she told me he looked very shady and said I should think twice before marrying him!
After several of her derogatory remarks about him, I stopped communicating with her altogether for about a yr! She was in TX and we were in CT.
After we were married & my sister first met my ex, she told me several times that he looked & acted like a sociopath and he kept looking at her creepily! As if he knew that she knew that he wasn’t what I thought he was... the charming, charismatic guy I married!
She said she hoped I had a pre-nup, that I must get my own secret savings account... just in case!
I told her that she was wrong about him and not to worry, that he would never ever do anything to hurt me physically, mentally, or financially.
To this day, I wondered how she knew and how I didn’t see what she saw!!
Plus... I’m a psych nurse who worked with sociopaths at the time and after all the abuse (subtle & not-so subtle) during my marriage and after my long, drawn-out divorce, I spent a long time scolding myself...
I should’ve known better;
I should’ve been able to see his true colors!
