I agree with Inky. The more one hypes a product up, the more suspicious I become of it. Look at infomercials. If those products were really that great, would they need a carnival barker at 2:00AM? Or, Honest Bob’s Clean and Dependable Pre-Loved Cars… Stuff like that. Relationships seem like that as well. Who is he trying the hard sell to?

Note that there aren’t too many truly Fairytale any things.

As far as promotions, etc. go, most places don’t really care about such things as affairs. Heck, look at the past presidents: Jefferson, FDR, Clinton, etc.

Hard truth is that he chose to use you, and you were naive/smitten enough to believe that he actually cared. Harder truth is that he probably never “loved” you, but figured out how to manipulate you into getting what he wanted.

The question is, what are you going to do with what you learned?
