When 1 Plus 1 Is Not 2

[JustAskJulie]

In this day and age it is so hard to tell who is telling the truth about what and unless you just outright ask people detailed questions you may never know.

This thread reminds me of a couple that my ex and I met through another couple years ago. They seemed like a really nice couple, they had been together for a couple of years (they told us)..... what we didn't find out till later was that they were both still married to other people. She was legally seperated and had not filed for financial reasons... he still lived with his legal wife, but she (supposedly) knows about the other woman and the relationship between him and his wife was over. I can't remember why he hadn't completely moved out but I think it had something to do with his kids and his business... too complicated for me.

I guess for me it comes down to the way I am with people in general. I am a trusting person by nature, until you give me reason not to trust you... then you aren't going to get a second reason not to trust you.
