The only thing that I can say as a woman is that this girl seems to have a way more troubled mind than you.
It always takes two to tango, and telling her straight out that you would be only interested in a relationship if she first broke up with her boyfriend is decent of you, accusing her of leading you on isn't, it happens every day, she tried it on, but it was not about you.
I assume at this point in her life she did not seem to be interested in "decent" - some people can be very self destructive and try to take others with them, but she must have sensed that this little mind game wasn't working with you, so she tried it with somebody else, much to her own detriment, and I just hope she wisens up quickly.
I think it is important to remember that people behave this way not because they do not like you, but because they do not like themselves.
it is true though, when she was single I would have thought being a good person and supporting her would be nice.
Thats pretty much the definition of leading someone on.
not everyone has your code of conduct, Bob. Thinking that they do, or might, is a generous thing to do, however don't let that blind you to the fact that they may not have the same moral code as you do. Personally, I think you dodged a bullet by having this female train wreck out of your life. As long as you nurse your resentment of her, she still has her hooks in you. Do yourself a favor and chalk this one up to experience and move on. As you so clearly understand
now, she would not have been a good candidate as a loving spouse or a good mother to your children. Oh, and if you are attracted to the idea that being under the influence of a 'good man' would have 'fixed' her,
Some people go into relationships thinking they will be the 'hero/heroine' and their good deeds will be rewarded by a reformed partner eternally grateful for the salvation they have attained. Dream on. The weak bring down the strong, because it takes so little effort to be weak, and so much effort to be strong that they finally wear them out.
my not so humble opinion, your mileage may vary, of course.
