There actually seems to be a lot of these types out there I noticed.

It definitely happens and I think for awhile you actually say to yourself it's okay by ignoring the tremendous amounts of red flags. It's not really stupidity though. Wouldn't call yourself that. I mean you didn't know who this person was starting off. I think stupidity would be to continue for a long time trying to make it worthwhile with someone who had those credentials.

Always important to take things slow with people. Rushing just causes trouble. Like the turtle, slow and steady wins the race.
