- Elise, could you elaborate for us a bit on how you deal with this
- situation beyond "getting nervous".
-
- Obviously, any sane person is (at least in general) not going to
- want to get involved with someone who is being deceptive
- about said involvement with their other partner(s).
-
- Sooo... if you can't meet the other party, what do you do?
- Back away from the situation entirely? Are there other
- specific methods you can use to assure yourself that no deception
- is involved? Or do you just rely on "gut feel" and play
- it by ear?
