Woe! Whatever will you do?!

The only person I can think of who I know who had a drawn-out lie like that in real life was a friend of my sister's from college, who was on College Jeopardy (that part was true) and told her friends that she'd used the money she won to go to Mexico and buy a burro. She'd have periodic updates on how the burro was getting to where she lived, and how the burro was growing, and all sorts of stuff like that. Turned out she'd actually just put the money in a savings account for grad school, and wanted to see how long she could keep people believing the burro story.
I'd said I wanted to have an exciting life and she was just trying to help.
Ugh.
My high school girlfriend once got mad at me for believing all the lies she told over a six-month period.
eta; Mostly it was lies about the other guy she was seeing.
The real reason is that he's already married
Oh, dear sweet jebuslug. That's so sad. And awful.
I wish I were Scrappy and could turn my life into something fabulous. But I'm just too depressed about it to bother. This whole situation with the job dragging out forever has just ground me down, to the point where I stood in front of my closet this morning and considered wearing jeans and a t-shirt to the office because "I'm just invisible," I said.
Which is, frankly, not true. But I don't work actively with many people in my physical office--I spend a lot of time on the phone with the field staff, and non-profits, and stuff. But most of them never see me, so it doesn't much matter what I wear, except to convince myself I'm still a professional.
But seriously, Rio isn't married to Bob Saget, either.
My whole worldview is shattered!!

That seems harmless enough. I'm assuming she didn't get distraught about mysterious burro ailments and hit people up for drinks and/or chocolate on the strength of it.
I didn't interact much with were-monkey dude as I think he was around mostly during a gray period for me. It does feel like betrayal in a close-knit Internet community to have someone misrepresenting himself to that degree.

I'm starting to suspect that Rio is lying about not being married to Bob Saget. Do we really have any evidence that she isn't? It just seems really unlikely. Not as unlikely as Jesse not being a cowgirl, but still pretty damn hard to believe.

No. It was weird, but harmless, and a bit entertaining -- you could always get a good story if you asked her how the burro was doing.
Yeah, the burro story seems harmless enough, if a little wicked. It's when people start getting emotionally involved that it's ugly.

I can imagine. I wish something would change for you.
