During my life, I have been involved with 1 man that I consider dangerous in a violent way. I am a smart lady, but, I convinced myself that he would not really hurt me. He never struck me, but would just throw and broke things, shouted, threatened, etc. The kind of behavior you tolerate only once before you head for the door and never return. I didn't do the smart thing right away.
I was lucky that I didn't get hurt or killed by my ex-boyfriend. Ever since I left, I call him Psycho. I'm serious. If I had actually married him, he would have killed me, himself or both of us.
The funny thing is that he was a great person with no violence in him for the first year we were together. I was so happy to find such a wonderful and kind man. His family had been church friends with my family since we were children. I adored his parents. They were good to him growing up. He had loads of friends from college and his job whom thought he was a great person too. The only warning I got was from an ex-girlfriend he had before me. She tried to tell me he was violent and crazy and even put a gun to her head once. I thought she was the crazy one. Now I believe everything she told me.
I'm not sure how someone can seem so geniunely kind and yet be full of hate and evil inside. Whenever I hear people say that a person is too nice to have committed such an act, I cringe. I know that people can wear a mask and behave very differently behind closed doors.
