Sounds like you had a few dates with this guy wonderwomen. Sounds kinda like my older brother who is very opinionated when he learns something and rejects past knowledge and experiences from what he believes is true in his mind today. My brother now believe in buddhism and don't get him started on why and why all the other religions are wrong. We grew up protestant but attended both catholic and protestant churches growing up. He says he as studied so many life changing books and that nobody else knows the truth about alot of things. Does this kinda sound like this guy or what?
We dated 18 months and talked of marriage... In hindsight I'm very glad it didn't work out!

He didn't actually research anything on his own except what he'd hear on TV. He saw a landscape of Wyoming once and immediately became convinced that was where they staged the filming of the landing on the moon. He was totally obsessed with politics and loved to argue it... even when I agreed with him! He was smart (not book smart, but street smart) about a lot of things... but looney about other things. He would take actions of strangers that were not even remotely directed at him very personally, to the point of seeing someone dressed (in his opinion) inappropriately for an event ruin the whole evening for him. He loved to lie/tell tales/exaggerate about things and would get mad at me when I wouldn't play along... and then loved to laugh at how gullible people were to believe him, which I thought was just dumb and mean spirited.

Yet the guy touched my soul in ways that are hard to describe. He endured the loss of his teenage son, a pain I could never imagine living through. He is kind hearted and "cool" to his son's friends (who are now young adults) and he does have redeeming qualities beyond what I described. The way he left me hurt me a lot.

But now, more than a year later, I am very glad he is no longer part of my life. There is someone far better out there just waiting to meet me!
