The other day, I was watching a court case on television. The male plaintiff was suing his ex-girlfriend for half the payment of a car he had rented for the both of them to take trip.

To make a long story, the two met online through a popular personals site. The defendant came across the plaintiff's personal profile which indicated that he was "divorced." She decided to contact him. They met in person and  within a short time begin dating. The relationship was doomed right from the start.

During the courtship, the defendant  discovered that the plaintiff was married and was not legally separated from this wife. The Judge asked him if he was really divorced, and his reply was no. When the Judge brought up the fact that he had lied about his marital status in his personal profile, his reply was that he was divorced from his first wife but was still married to his second wife while he was seeing the defendant.

The moral of this story is "when a man describes himself as  "divorced" ask him from which wife: wife number one, two, three and so on down the line. Before you become involved with someone you meet online, take the time to make certain the person is whom he says he is. To avoid being embarrassed on national TV, take the time to do a thorough background check before committing yourself to that person. Get to know that person before you become  emotionally and physically involved. Forming a relationship is easy. Getting out of a relationship built on lies can be costly.
