'Please run, it sounds like he is already trying to control you': Shady boyfriend asks for girlfriend's social security number 3 months into dating, hesitates to explain why

Trust is a slippery thing. You want to trust the people you love, but it takes time. Especially if you've been burned before, it can take a heck of a long time to rebuild your trust in others. Sometimes, this is a bad thing. You close people off from getting to really know you because you're scared that they might hurt you, even if they've given you no reason not to trust them. This is what therapy is good for. But in other cases, it's good not to trust someone. Because you think you might know someone, but you fall prey to their traps, completely unwitting. 

The woman in this story should have found herself in the second category, able to suss out a red flag when it presents itself, but unfortunately, she was too quick to accept her boyfriend's word. Luckily commenters came in to set things straight. Read on for the details.
