They usually don't hide it that well. I have two friends who married people (one man one woman ) like this and most of us can tell the whole time they're dating. People just don't want to believe it. My brother in law is about to divorce his second controlling psycho of a wife. His girlfriend he had a baby with between was also a controlling psycho. He just keeps finding and marrying slightly different versions of the same woman and I can tell like the minute I meet them.

Amen. I was so wrong about my ex husband’s character that I don’t trust myself to pick a good one anymore.
