It isn't so much clever as I was stupid. My ex-wife played me like a fiddle for years by threatening to hurt or kill herself. She cheated, didn't cook or clean, the last year or two of our relationship was a living hell, probably to both of us.

One day I just stopped caring, and said it needed to end. She kept coming back and having sex with me. I was weak to that, and we'd get back together. Another day I quit my job, got home from work, and said I was broke. The next day she had her friend coming over to pick her up and said we were done.

I'll admit, I cried like a baby, the abuse was something I had gotten so used to. It was so familiar, that dependence, always having someone there even if they treated me like shit. After about 2 months I pulled myself together, got ready for the divorce, started feeling alive again as this huge burden was simply gone, when the divorce was done in 6 months, I had a completely new life and never put up with that shit from anyone else ever again.

Sure, other people have gotten the better of me since then, but simply because of ignorance on my part. I'll never be stupid like that again. So in that way, I suppose I should be thankful for that horrible experience, and that it happened when I was young.

It was Sunday morning 8:00 am. I spent the night at my friends house because I was drunk the night before. That next morning, with a roaring hang over I turned on the T. V. and lo and behold there was Ernest Ansley. The famous televangelist. Now Ernest was doing everything he could to get the money separated from the grasp of his flock and into his. Poor souls, the only thing those people had that valuable was their souls. Now Ernest was showing off his bling long before 'snoop dog' was showing off his own bling. If snoop had seen the bling on ernest, he would've have had to cover his eyes because of the glare. Then he would've looked at ernest and he would've said "damm... man you're to ghetto with dat.. you embarrasing to me. Take that shit off". However, I digress. I yelled at the T. V. ernest help me. So I dialed the number that was on the screen, unbelievably, I got through! I told him I was hungover. He said "son, put your hands on the screen, and I'll pray for ya". Afterwards he asked for my address so they could send me propaganda. When I came home my father was furious with me. He said you may think it's shameful what he does. But, that doesn't give you the right to publicly humiliate him! Also, he personally called me up, shile they were still broadcasting! With God, and the entire free world watching, he asked me for a 1,000 dollar donation. Since my boss watches him, what choice did I have. But, guess what? Im not concerned. Because you'll be the one working that off. Not me!! So, the moral of the story is to never make fun of a televangelist. He just might wind up owning your soul.

The only time I can think of is this guy who started seeing his ex again once we started dating and when I found out, which was pretty quick, I just left. It wasn't super exciting for either of us really.

I suppose you mean, cheated on.
I'd been seeing my last girlfriend (my future ex-fiance) for 10 years. I'm not jealous so, it didn't bother me at all that she had male friends. Near the end of our 10th year, she'd been seeing a LOT of her "FRIEND, David". She was also friends with this married couple and a few others but, had recently been spending holidays with any of them instead of me! First red flag!
Her FRIEND, David had invited her on a cross country car trip and she asked if they could borrow a tent my sister had. As long as he was only a FRIEND, I wasn't TOO set against it. I CERTAINLY wasn't THRILLED with the idea but, I just figured that, if she was as loyal to me as I was to her (and it sure seemed that way), I had nothing to worry about. I got her the tent and they were about to leave on their trip. I asked how long it was gonna be and when she told me (at least a month), I said that she was gonna miss my birthday that summer. She said, "When is your birthday?" WHAT THE FUCK? After 10 years you STILL don't know when my birthday is? I haven't seen her in 20 years and I STILL remember hers!! I just took it as her joking about it, we were always teasing each other about personal stuff. Second BIG red flag!!
Comes Nov., my family is getting ready for Thanksgiving in a few days and they want to know if she's coming so they know how much food to make and how many places to set at the table. So, I called her up to ask if she was going. AGAIN, she said, "No, I'm gonna be going to my FRIEND, David's house". I'd heard this a number of times over the past year or two and jokingly asked her, "What the hell are you gonna do, marry this guy?" After a long pause, she said, "Well... yes." GOODBYE!!! I never wanted to talk to her or see her again!! Thanks for wasting 10 years of MY life!!!

I had a friend that always had no money supposedly but since I had no one to hang out with I would pay for him. One time I went out my girlfriend and his girlfriend to dinner, I must have used the bathroom but she overheard him say to these guys at the next table say watch this, at at the end of the night he said he forgot his wallet. We covered for him and left in separate cars but we had a bit to drink, I didn’t go far and parked while talking to my girlfriend about things and went home afterwards after an hour but he got pulled over for DWI and arrested, he had to stay the night and never had enough money to get bailed out so he stayed in county jail for 6 weeks because no one could help him and he even asked to borrow money from me but I didn’t trust him at that point. I bet he found his wallet when pulled over, lol, karma is a bitch

It has been so long since I got played. I used to be a very trusting person and always looked for the good in people. The world, life, and the people have taught me valuable lessons. Now, I don't trust anyone. I believe nothing I see and only half of what I hear.

The times Women thought it would be cute and mature to start with head games. It took a couple of times of them "Hey!!!"-ing and the next time acting like they don't see me to say I'm not playing their bullshit games anymore.

I was tricked by Satan into letting him into heaven in exchange for getting rid of some Mormons and Saddam Hussain.
I should know better than to trust that guy, but I'm a Buddhist so I don't let it bother me.

[Anon621]

I have never been played by another person yet but it might happen in the future who knows.

Someone actually played a long con on me and got over 5k. I figured it out when I found him online 2 months into the partnership
