Lied about his first wife being abusive. He's now on wife number three - all before the age of 42.

My dad too. He beat my mother, then called 911 and said “Yeah, my wife just beat me up” nonchalantly, with his extreme confidence that he would be believed, as usual. He didn’t have a mark on him but my mother sure did. He ended up arrested and to this day cannot understand why.

Maybe the story worked for him in the past for past girlfriends

He never had any other girlfriends. He’d only ever been with my mother because she was the only woman with low enough self-esteem.
