Laura is a very talented dance and I have no doubt she could do well and Ibut there is one thing I dont understand??

With out going into details, I met Laura through a production that we wereboth involved in when my life was (and is) about as low as you can get. Mypartner of 7 years had just walked out on me out of the blue and treated meVERY VERY badly. My father has advanced Altziemers and has just beenpermintly hospitalized (he's becoming a vegitable) and I myself am onanti-depressants, having councelling and with a heart condition.

Laura, was certainly not shy when it came to letting her feelings known andone thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together. She told me shehad a Boyfriend but it did not matter as she wanted to end the relationshipanyway. TWO days after we slept together, and remember - everything that wedid was at HER direct invitation, she made a complant to the venue managerthat I was Pestering her, Harrising her and giving her un-wanted attention.It nearly ruined my whole career and I was fired from the productionconcerned. All the other dancers closed ranks with her and spread Lies aboutstuff I can prove is false.

What I want to know is WHY?????. Laura knew about my Dad and told me shewould be a friend and help me through it. My life is now in ruins, I nearlytook a bottle of pills last night and all because I slept with someone ontheir invitation.

I have been told by another dancer that this goes on a lot especially when aproduction is on tour, dancers hop in and out of beds all the time!!!!. Isthis true and why - its certainly not right is it.

I just need to understand what is happening ???

Any comments are welcome but reply to this group, not by e-mail please
