On our third date, he told me he had sex with hundreds of prostitutes…while he was married.

You might be picturing a toothless unemployable criminal, but he was a charming, intelligent, attractive, and successful lawyer. I had fallen hard for him after only three dates. His confession blindsided me.

I immediately wondered the obvious — why would you admit that to someone you are dating unless you were in self-sabotage mode?

I asked a few friends. One friend's reply was enlightening.

“He confessed to having sex with prostitutes because he wanted to see if he could get away with it in the future. His wife clearly allowed it, so he wanted to see if you would. He told you who he was— a disloyal man when his sexual needs are not being met. And you know who you are. Are you a woman who is cool with her boyfriend having sex with prostitutes?”

“Ah, no.” I stammered. “I was hoping I wouldn’t have to settle for a relationship with an STD risk.”

There obviously wasn’t a fourth date.

If you are rolling your eyes by now, I don’t blame you. I am tired of regaling readers with my horrific dating…
