Liars Will Lie

I’m not even sure when the lies started. My best guess is that they were always there and simply grew. I’ll start my timeline in Late April 2020. This is when Michael Chappell and I got back together after a nasty break up in March. I had come to a point post-breakup where I was fine. we hadn’t talked and started dating other people. But then he could sense me moving on and came for me. Like a fool, I fell for it.

It took all of four weeks for me to discover he was cheating on me. I found out because a woman he was trying to get to meet him messaged me. I questioned her honesty at first but then she sent me the texts. She even sent me a video he sent her of him masturbating. Some of the most lewd text he had sent her while I was laying right next to him. I immediately told him I was done.

I wish that had been the end of it but it wasn’t. He played on my sympathy and begged me to take him back.

And I fell for it hook, line and sinker. He spent the next several months playing therapy and doing whatever he could to convince me that he was the real deal. Little did I know he was still talking to a woman he dated while we were apart even though he swore he wasn’t. Little did I know he told my best friend that I was talking about her to her abusive ex behind her back. Little did I know he was setting me up as a villain so he could victimize himself when his lies would eventually overflow.
