ORIGINAL: mnottertail FYI, you could care less. the other is nonsensical. Actually, Ron. This is a common mis-conception/mis-use. If someone could care less, it means they care to some degree (it actually suggests that they care, quite a bit). If someone couldn't care less, it means they don't care even a little bit. There's no "less" for them to care. Kudos to the OP for using it correctly (one of my pet peaves)! Down near the bottom Now, for the OP, I wouldn't have gotten angry at you asking a question (depending upon how it was asked) but, as others have said the implication that he lied to you makes it seem like you're just looking for an abuser and you've decided that he's the one. I don't mean that I think he'd actually abuse you. I mean that now, you can feel like a "victim" because he lied to you. Ya know, I have a horrible memory. It's atrocious. It's a condition that I have to live/die with. I was just on the phone with my girl last night and she asked: "Daddy, before we hang up can you open that envelope so I can hear your reaction?" Not five mother-fuckin' minutes later, I got ready to get off the phone and she said: "We'll open the envelope, tomorrow, then?" I know this seems like it isn't speaking to the issue but I'm getting there. She understands that I have a horrible memory so, instead of painting me as her abuser ("You never take what I want into account"), she gently reminded me that I had "promised" to do something (which I promptly forgot, of course) and the issue never became an issue. I am a very lucky man, indeed. Whether it's true or not, I'm sure this guy with whom you were communicating, thinks that you were showing similar signs. Peace and comfort, Michael
