Or watch it on YouTube:

I figure if it hasn't been removed due to YT's privacy/IP policy, it's OK to post a link to?

It's an interesting movie, but leans somewhat towards the sensational and stereotypes, and doesn't touch on what could have added to the movie - K1 or K3 process, and perhaps some followups on successful as well as unsuccessful couples.

Thanks for the link, I hadn't had a chance to see it yet.   :)

Just watching that is disturbing.  On so many levels.

I am not complaining that it was posted...  just there is something about what it says, which I think we all need to hear. 

There are so many sides to any kind of relationship.  Yours, mine, the rest of the people... and the really "confused" people.  The hardest thing to digest is that they are all correct based on individual experiences. 

But, once I accept that simple idea, it seems like I can see it too, even if I didn't live it.  Or agree with it.

I really don't see how this guy was scammed.  I would hope he knows the ramifications of a long distance relationship.  It may work, it may not.  And he needs to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.  And what person, much less a woman in their right mind would want to live with someone so sloppy?  This is his own fault, and not a scam at all.
