So on a more serious note and responding to the OP...
I just went through this with a friend who used my success story as an excuse to go 1000 miles an hour into a brick wall.
I stated over and over again how I was suspicious of this "person". I gave her many indicators of his deceitfulness and yet she chose to ignore all this. She sent him all her money in hopes to be moving to NY to live "happily ever after" with him. She is now homeless. She will not go to police (not that I think there is anything they could do anyway) and she has threatened suicide.
It is so incredibly frustrating to be the outsider watching someone you care about get so incredibly used and at the same time allow it!!! Why would someone send their rent money to a person they have never met let alone seen on cam??
Can anyone explain this kind of thinking to me? I was obviously in a long distance relationship, marriage and now sponsorship. But I can tell you NEVER, EVER would I have sent money that I needed for my basic necessities to someone online no matter how much I love him.
I just don't get the mentality behind it. This woman also has 2 daughters that she was ready to up and leave for this guy?!?! Really I truly want to understand what is happening in someones mind that they would give up so much and put themselves into peril all in the name of "love".
Thoughts?
