Well Dr. Phil, I guess you know it all.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. You never truly know what someone is thinking or what they are capable of doing.

I dated this woman for 7 years. She was OK company to be around but a steady diet was dangerous. She had a switch that would just go off with the least provocation or perceived slight. First couple of years, I attributed it to her quirkiness. As time passed, I was lied to, stolen from and constantly goaded to pull my entire retirement savings out so she could live in luxury and not work. My house was paid for and I had the 62 years of age retirement finish line in my sights when we split up. She wanted more debt and damn the consequences. This was a professional woman with a $150K/Yr job, heavily invested in the stock market, and who paid cash for her Mercedes and thought I should continue working so she could quit work. She enrolled her kid in a $20K a year private academy/Hockey School without my input and expected me to share in this expense "as partners", She also wanted her kid to go to Boston College.

Smile and thank the waitress for good service? First the silent treatment all the way home and then the ****storm. A peck on the cheek from a female former classmate at your class reunion? She would storm outside and refuse to come back in. ****storm ensues. Go out with your buddies for a beer? "You'd rather be with your buddies than me? Why don't you go home and sleep by yourself then?" I could go on but I won't.

People are not always who you think they are no matter how long or how well you think you know them.

I don't know your age, but try dipping your toe in the dating pool in your late '50's and see what you catch.
