Some men are real twats. They lie & expect you to blithely swallow their fantasy of how good/nice they are. I met someone who I thought was lovely. Very handsome, very fit, charming, respectful. Turns out he's got some VERY serious previous... So that's the end of that then. At least I can congratulate myself on having a lucky escape.
Trouble is, men like this are not a one-off, there's so many of them out there..
