So remember that time my exH catfished someone?

[gozf]

Oh man. You poor thing. That's terrible.

I am a little lol over "tami" though. thats a funny name for a dude to pick!

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Wow, that is really crazy. I'm sorry that you got pulled into it and your business threatened.

[mcc]

That's nuts. I found myself telling a crazy story about XH last night (not one that I will share here though) and it feels like another life.

Mp, was it your xh who made the YouTube music video also?
Mine was also weird although he never catfished anyone. He did air all of the dirty laundry about our divorce on fb before I even had a chance to tell my family we were separating. Not fun.

No I think that was @pdx18?

Thankfully my family new before he changed his relationship status on FB, but not most of our friends! Sheesh.

Indeed! That was my prize of an exh. He also bought my domain name and posed as my father in email. I'm soooo relieved I haven't heard from him in over a year. Knock on wood!

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Ok! Sorry I got the stories confused!

[jojoandleo]

Trust me, there are people I run into who know me from XFI and allllllll his crazy stories. Fortunately, they are easy to set straight since he was a compulsive liar and no one really believed anything he said.

I'm sorry he pulled you into that bullshit. He obviously had a lot of issues. Who would create a persona just to upset strangers over a fake death.

I swear to god if any of you are cat fishing me, I will add you to my shank list.

[glitzyglow]

I wonder what causes people to resort to creating a false persona. Attention? Desire? I don't know. I mean, did people do this before the internet in everyday life? It sucks that those people came after you and your friends, though.

[locarb]

Wow! No shame, everyone has a crazy story to some degree.

[Deleted]

mp-- no reason to be ashamed.  Most of us dealt with some fucked up crap with our exes.
mcc-- I totally feel you on the fact that it feels like another life.  I sometimes share stories about it and I'm like, wtf?  That was ME dealing with that??? Crazy!

[Deleted]

Wow. My ex-bf who was abused did similar things.

[chikastuff]

My ex did this. He cat fished his then GF and posed as his ex SIL so she could vouch for him when they were getting to know each other on fetlife. Oh and he had a voice modulator that he used to use when he'd chat, etc online.

Creeper.

[callunafirefly]

How did Tami die? Was she sick or was it a horrible tragic accident? How did the internet people find out Tami had died, if she was dead?

I know its not funny to you, and I'm really not making fun. Just realize this was his illness not yours and I'm sorry you got sucked into it. I hope you can look back and think "what an idiot"

Wow. Hugs mp, that's creepy and scary. I'm glad you are far, far past that, and hope someday it becomes a funnier story for you. Thankfully my XH, while crazy, never did anything like that. Perhaps someday I'll be ready to share the crazy stories I lived through, but only a couple have reached "funny" status for me, and the rest are pretty raw memories still.

(hug) (hug2)

[gault]

How crazy. I'll only type those two words, but picture an elephant of emphasis on each of them.




This goes without saying, but I am so, so glad you're not with him anymore.

[becwheat]

The amount of crazy our X's add up too is kinda hilarious and scary at the same time... good lord!

[bowies]

Were you by chance part of a documentary on this? Because it's eerily similar to a documentary that my H and I watched on Netflix one night. And if that wasn't you, then everyone needs to watch it because it's amazing. I'll try to figure out what the name of it is.
