I understand the emotionally battered part. I'm still recovering from that myself. But you didn't "bring it on" yourself. You engaged in a realtionship in good faith - that it would be positive for both of you. You didn't renege - he did. If he 'wasn't that into you' he really did have an obligation to tell you so right from jump street - not to watch you go deeper and deeper and make you dance like a puppet on a string. It sounds like that's his game. I've found that people who are really experts in psychology are the best string pullers and have the worst relationships. Not always...just that I've seen some real disfunctional people with Psych PhD's. And you have to wonder about the motivation behind their actions. You didn't ask the Universe, 'Hey, send me a real psycho winner this time to see if I'm up to it.' No one (well, almost no one) asks for a train wreck.

Also, I would like to add here that this man, the Ph.D., wrote me a 13 page initial letter of introduction to himself!!! I viewed that with skepticism from the start. It seemed more like one of those Christmas newsletters, which people send out at the holidays, to all their friends and relations. Who writes a 13 page letter of introduction???? I think it is something he has stored on his computer for various potential women. ARI

Thanks, Chatty...a "sicko"....LOL. I love the animal rescue site and the best friends, by the way. I have two pets I rescued, and one I bought for $1,000, which would have likely ended up in a puppy mill. Love, ARI!!!

Ari, Mr. PH.D was "telling "funny" stories of how he had, in his youth, pretended to be psychotic or suicidal to fool people" My goodness, that is sick! He obviously needed attention, and went about it in the wrong way. This is the stupidest ph.d I ever heard of. If he was capable of manipulating people with his pretenses as a youth, imagine how much more capable he is now, after so many more years of practice. He is so consumed with himself.
