Creeptastic story

Yesterday I get an email from match.com that says "YourCreepyExHusband is checking you out now!" right before meeting my mom for lunch.  Over lunch my mom and I get a laugh at his profile, complete with pictures of the dogs and a few charming paragraphs about his high powered job (yes, he's one of those who filled in $150+ for salary), international living experience, optimistic view on the world and sense of adventure (yeah, right).  Mom and I laugh and agree that it's a good profile, albeit a lie, and I block him from contacting me on match.

After lunch my mom goes to the mall and runs into a woman she knows.  She's a divorcee and they get to talking about match.com and jdate and woman says she's been talking to some great man online.  He's an atty, lived abroad, has 2 dogs, very handsome, etc.  Mom asked what his name was and it was ExHusband!  My mom quickly updated her on my situation and how just hours earlier we were laughing about how charismatic his profile was. 

It's funny how ExHusband getting screwed over (not literally, to his chagrin) without me even TRYING!  :)

    Actually, not at all.  XH lives about 30 mins away from me-the woman lives in my town though.  She's Jewish and blonde though so that narrows down the pool of women he'd be willing to talk to online.  There's also a small number of cute Jewish guys between 28-40 on match.com--statistically speaking, it's a small pool and not unexpected, but funny nevertheless.

  • That is pretty crazy! 

    My best friend found XH's profile on meetup.com and he also made himself out to be different than he actually is, lol.  Also found out my ex is dating someone who lives in the town next to me (even though he moved 45 minutes away after the divorce), but luckily we've never run into each other.

    Ah. I see.

  • Because that's his karma coming back to bite him!  Too funny!

    About a month after we separated I created an online profile for match because someone tipped me off that XH (STBXH at the time) was already on there and curiousity got the better of me.

    He had a pic of him holding P (who was one month old at the time) and he said that he was divorced but he now realized it was for the best.  It said he made $150K plus (I printed that out for our divorce and CS agreement) and it also said, for his favorite quote "comon sence, you eather are born with it or you don't got it" and that's exactly how it read. 

    I was still pretty bitter at that time so I confronted him about having an online dating profile one month out of our marriage.  He said he wasn't ready to date yet but his counselor had suggested he start an online profile (yah, uh huh) and then he ended up changing the profile to read "I'm sorry for all of you ladies that tried to contact me, thought I was ready for this but I'm still in love with my ex-wife".  Why he opted for that instead of deleting the entire thing was beyond me.  I guess that's what drugs will do to the mind.
