Or a very sad and cautionary tale of how lonely and vulnerable many people are.
And trusting. I can’t imagine getting involved in any of these scenarios.
But then if you go too far the other way to be completely untrusting and cut yourself off from any new possible relationships, the end result is still loneliness. One would hope there’s a balance and shouldn’t be afraid to take a chance, but also understand when something isn’t right.
Sad there’s so many cautionary tales.
