That moment you want to save your poison ex's new victim

Aw.

My ex was a horrific, using manipulator. He stole my youth, left me destitute and discarded me.

He prides himself on his interesting, saintly online presence which doesn't match his real life situation when you live it with him. Thats what lured me in, and he's snared himself another victim. I still have to see the guy due to sharing a child.

Thing is, she seems really nice! She's a LOT like me (puke) and i think if it werent for me needing to keep as muchhhhhhh distance as possible between me and him, we'd be friends.

I soooo want to hold her hand, look deep into her eyes and say 'girl, save yourself!' ...but i know i cant :(

Just needed to get that off my chest! And if you are reading this and have met a silver-tongued 40yr old man who SEEMS to have an interesting outdoorsy adventurous life and makes you feel understood and adored, who APPARENTLY dotes on his darling DD, who has swept you off your feet and wants you to move in with him after meeting 6 times and likely tells you about his crazy, unreasonable ex wife - run! He doesnt own the house and doesnt pay for it, everything is a charade, he'll bleed you dry and crush your soul! x

@Humblpi

Scuse me earrings, it clearly says in my first post i will not be doing anything, i came here to vent. She doesnt just look like me, she is LIKE me too from the looks of her profile. I have repeatedly said i will not be getting involved, and i wish HER well. HE can fall still down a well tho.
If you read my post, I quoted another poster not you.

And my post was also in response to the many other posters who were recommending you contact her, which I found truly bizarre.

Oh i see, i thought when you said the whole thread was nuts you meant the premise.

This requires a diagram of the balls, done in MS Paint.

The premise of warning the girlfriend, yes. But you venting, not at all! Sounds like you've every reason to!

Please don’t illustrate the balls. It’s triggering flashbacks for me 🤣🤣🤣

The valls remain safely locked in my memory as a service to womankind! 🤣

I was warned by an ex about a previous boyfriend. It was so detailed about his shenanigans I had him checked out by Clares Law. Police got me in after all checks done to discover who he really was. That afternoon I blocked him on everything and walked away. He was apparently already onto his next victim at the time. I was truly grateful for the anonymous text.

Thanks for your post litterbird, that person did you a favour.

Bear in mind that Clare's Law doesn't cover all abuse, and DV and assaults and the like don't always get reported.
