Now you know how all the women who've been snowed, bedded, and dumped feel. It's not very nice, is it? You have my sympathy, but there's unfortunately no rules that say men have a monopoly on being callous... You'll have to notch this one up to experience, and try not to feel dirtied by being used. I feel honesty is *essential* to a good realtionship. I'd never raise expectations I had no intention of fulfilling, or claim warmer feelings than I actually had. Anyone can make mistakes interpreting someone else's behaviour very early in relationship, but once you've known someone for, say, 6 months or more, I think deceit is reprehensible. I'd guess from your article this wasn't the > 6-months' trust sort of deception, though -- you might want to clarify this if you'd like further discussion. --Chris Robertson ("So tell all your girlfriends, your been-around-the-world friends, love is for losers and fools..." )
