Some things to keep in mind. You don’t see these people for who they are because they’re manipulative and honest people aren’t going to be looking for that right away. Until they have a commitment from you and you’re trapped, the act they put on is amazing. Second, you can see they do really know how to treat another person, they did it (right up til you committed), so you keep making excuses for them thinking they’ll go back to being that person you fell for. Surprise! I waited and made up excuses for 17 years. They go back to their good act only as often as necessary to string you along until you’re replaced.
