EVERY MAN HERE NEEDS TO COMMIT THIS POST TO MEMORY!!! NEVER, NEVER put yourself at the mercy of a woman! Women CANNOT BE TRUSTED! EVER! I don't care how "sweet" or "nice" they may seem, a woman's attitude, beliefs, and morals are NOT DEPENDABLE. She, as a person, will change with each and every hormonal mood swing. I don't care if she acts like the wholesome "Girl Next Door", she is a WOMAN and by her VERY NATURE she is prone to deception, emotional manipulation, and deep-rooted selfishness

Not to mention that most women are liars who put on a good front (like this wench did...) until they think they own you and have you under their control. And for what it's worth, this is yet another excellent example of why you should NEVER DATE SINGLE MOTHERS!!! My heart goes out to you PowerChord and you deserve much thanks for sharing your pain so others can learn. But, in my opinion, here is where the VITAL MISTAKE was made

After a year of being together, she asked me to move in with her, her children, her retarded dog, and two cats. I was hesitant because I felt like I was encroaching upon her domain. She bought the house after much hard work getting out of debt and saving money, and as such I thought maybe I would feel too much like an interloper into her world. After much reassurance from her, I acquiesced and moved in.

Granted, you realized your mistake, but it came AFTER it was too late. It was her house, her life, her rules, and you basically gave her authority over you. At least now you're free.... I wish you the very best man and hope you'll hang on and not let these selfish women win!
