[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 87165, member: 1991"] On the subject of sociopaths and relationships - my co-worker WAS married, but I think for him it was something he fell into. His father-in-law pushed him into marrying because he'd been living with them anyway, and the father in law said, "marry my daughter, or leave." They had a lot of interests in common, but I think from my co-worker's position, it wasn't love; it was convenience. But he knew there were certain conventions he had to live by. His main motivating factor was to not get caught doing what he knew society disapproved of. His wife worked in the same building, she was a regular visitor and we knew her well. Her boss intensely disliked him (takes one to know one!) and arranged for the wife to get an overseas posting. Hubby (my co-worker) bullied her boss into getting him a job near his wife, but there was a time delay in organising their affairs. She left a couple of months before he did and ironically, she had found someone else by the time he got there. Tragic in one sense, but we knew he would take every opportunity to play around when his wife was out of town at a conference. It finally all had come back to bite him. He tried to cut his overseas stay short and come back to our work, but his replacement had been hired on a fixed term contract. When the replacement eventually left, our old colleague came back but didn't "cut the mustard". He left, a broken man. But still sociopathic - he was STILL trying to find a way to manipulate the system to get his previous good standing back - good standing he had only acquired through bullying, dishonesty and downright cheating. He had bragged that he would get rid of me - it was very cheering for me to finally see him go. Then his wife returned - also very happy. Marg [/QUOTE]
