Scarlet and The Cheater

My friend Scarlet is still plugging away with the online dating. She’s been getting a lot of responses from Singlesnet, but some of them are odd. For example, a guy came right out and asked her about a friends with benefits situation. 
I told her that guys will throw something like that out there thinking that the odds are on their side – eventually someone will be interested.
This morning she sent me an email telling me to check her Singlesnet message box. (She has me check the interesting ones, because sometimes it’s good to have an extra set of eyes and ears.) There were four emails from a familiar screen name, but once she opened them up, she saw that they were actually from the guy’s live-in girlfriend.
The girlfriend left her name and number. Scarlet rang her and apparently they are planning some sort of a sting operation. Scarlet would make a coffee date and the girlfriend will meet him instead.
If I were the girlfriend, I wouldn’t bother. I would pack my things (or his things) and just be done with him. Why bother, why waste any more time on a man like that? Is that really going to make her feel better in the end?
Something funny this guy said to Scarlet, “Ask me anything. I’m an open book.” I guess she forgot to ask the question, “Have you been living with someone for the past 2 years.” That’s her fault, right? Sheesh.

LOL – I had a similar situation with an out of town doctor. Luckily, I know enough not to sleep with tourists, but we did exchange emails. About six months later, I get an email from a woman he’s involved with. She wanted all the dirt and had confirmed other affairs. My question is “Why do you need more?” One is enough to send me packin.

the guy’s a dog and maybe his current (soon to be ex, i hope) needs to make sure he knows that she knows what a jerk he is. and that it’s not her…it’s him. i don’t know if i could do that, but if i were angry enough, possibly.
