I am in alot of pain over a man I met less than 2 years ago. He was a business friend of someone I knew who was helping me find a job in his industry. He was a sales rep in my area and had alot of contacts.  We met for lunch and since that day I have been on a roller coaster that wont stop.  There is so much to tell and I‘m just too sad to type all this, but he was and is married, and we instantly fell for eachother.  He was quite flitatious offering to help me clean what I spilled on my dress cause he made me so nervous.  He offered me a ride home and he made the moves big time, although he held back on intercourse to prove he really cared.  Hindsight is 20/20 I know, but I am an incest/abuse survivor, and I told him my issues right up front. He convinced me that he was a severly battered husband and that his life was pure living hell, that she was crazy.  He walked out on her and his step daughter and they were devastated.  The 15 year old, who‘s real Dad died when she was a baby became bullemic, had to quit all her sports, and school and be hospitalized. She doing good now. But I truly believed that he was the victum. We filed police reports because she would send me horrible emails and would call him off the hook, crying and believing hed come back.  Guess what, now hes taking me to court, in 2 days, with the new girlfriend, who is a lawyer.  He left me so devistated. This is his pattern.  He has a first wife with which he had 2 boys of his own and 2 step sons.  He was unhappy because she gained weight and was "crazy" like wife #2 and like me, crazy women.  He took her boys away just to prove that she was crazy, cause thats what the court said to relieve his guilt of walking out. He met wife #2 while stioll married and she had money and they moved together with the boys.  They became difficult and instead of getting them help he sent them back and has abandoned them. Now he looks like he has it together, pretty girlfriend, great life, he‘s better than ever and Im facing going to jail because he filed a restraining order to prove I was the crazy one and then he couldnt let go and provoked me to respond to him.  I never stalked him, never a threat, none of that, never. Im not crazy. It was a bad break up.  He told me I was his soulmate, he would say"ill miss you while Im sleeping" Endless love letters, its shocking.  How can he be ok?  He‘ still married, living seperately, taking me to court to relieve him of guilt, left me penniless, and is now flaunting this new one.  Are they really happy?  How can this be.  I am working now and doing better but Im so sad and scared of court. 

TY for your reply.  What he does is find your weakness, like he did his 1st and his second and provoke us to act in a crazy way, and then he uses the behavior to prove we are the crazy ones, and he knew that if he said certain things because of my abuse issues that I would fall apart, and he kept doing it until I was unable to even function and brought me to court for restraining order just using emotional voicemail,after he was abusive and provoked it.  He did the very same thing to his wife, to prove to me she was abusive.  He claims he is the victum in all 3relationships.  I know I need to get help, and I will.  Its so hard to think he is with this pretty lawyer and maybe I am the bad one.
