About 3 years ago I decided to try internet dating as work commitments were not conducive to socialising. I was out of town a lot. There was plenty of interest and I had dates with a few guys but nothing ’sparked’ until I met Gemini. He was cheeky, entertaining and very sexy. Alarm bells should have been sounding at this point, but it is amazing how much you are willing to over look because you are lonely. This guy was too good to be true and seemed to be smitten by me too.
Our romance was whirlwind and he made all the right moves: lots of time together, nights over at his place, knew where he worked, met his friends. It was brilliant. I was head over heels with this man and he appeared to feel the same.
Soon we moved in together (my house). Little comments began ringing bells, and before I knew it after over 18 happy months he must have felt very secure with me because the verbal abuse began. He suddenly criticised everything I did or said, and I got the accusations of being out with men after an evening with a girlfriend. All the while he just sat on his computer surfing internet porn and drinking to excess.
I started out with the nice twin and ended up with the nasty one. I truly believe in alarm bells, red flags and intuition!! And boy am I going to be more selective next time. At least he had no de-facto claim on me and did move out with no drama. Perhaps he knew the game was up. He turned out to be a gold digging womaniser. But I am chalking the experience up to a steep learning curve and will listen more to my intuition.
