RE: Why Do People Lie?
My ex'es stabbed me in the back too, HARD. I actually blame them for my divorce, I think they talked her into it giving me a BS story the whole time.
I had a similar thing as you happen to me with my gun hunting spot. There were three of us (all named Paul) hunting a friends land, the guy that owned it and the other two of us. We built three identical blinds one winter that were really nice. 300 bucks a piece just in materials. I was a bit hesitant being I didn't have a lot of money. They said it would be an investment and would pay off years down the road and they would last a long time since we built them so well. And I was welcome to hunt as long as I wanted. I would be happy I spent the money in 10 or 15 years.
Well skip ahead two years and the guys wife doesn't want us hunting there anymore, our buddy talks her into letting us hunting one week out of the two. The next year he is getting a divorce and his wife doesn't even live there anymore. Three days into the first week of season he tells us we can't hunt there anymore.
He said he had to drop his liability insurance and he was afraid something would happen if one of us got hurt. We assured him neither one of us would sue him and we would sign a statement or waver to that effect. We even offered to pay his insurance for him if he was that worried about. My buddy even offered to pay him to hunt there if it was a money thing.
He told us no, he made up his mind and didn't want us hunting there anymore. It was like a kick in the teeth, very sudden and it hurt.
It was a nice place to hunt, but the part I miss more is meeting up at the end of the day or during lunch sometimes and just shooting the crap about what we saw or didn't see. We all got a long really well and the other two of us were really shocked when he told us that.
I hope things work out for you. If this is the worst thing that happens to you in your divorce consider yourself lucky. Mine ruined me both mentally and financially
Good luck,
Paul
