Whats the best way to handle someone who is in love with fantasy of who they think you are vs. who you really are?

I have had this happen twice in my life. It was age relationships too where I was older. Both relationships ended very badly. One girl treated me like I was less than human when she broke up (unnecessarily said some very nasty and callous things) other ghosted me after 9 months of dating after a minor argument. Never heard from her again.

I was never led on or lied to either woman. I was sweet and kind as I usually am to women I am interested in. I didn’t try to conceal any of my major faults either.

They might of discovered some of my quirks on way but it wasn’t like I lied about having a criminal record (I don’t) or being married to someone else.

But when they were all acting over the top in love a part of me got nervous and for good reason. They seem to be in love with an image or fantasy. That’s only temporary.
