I'm currently in the process of unraveling an online relationship/marriage with a sociopath. The thing is, I was single for thirteen years...THIRTEEN, and just fine with that. This man completely swept me off my feet. I felt/feel so stupid for falling for his lies. I'm an intelligent woman, am good at spotting insincerity, lies, etc. I have met many nice men online over the years, but after this one experience, I'm done. Not worth the risk to me anymore. Oh and "Seeker" I am also in that over 40 age category. Thank you for sharing your experience. Makes me feel better.
