Double life

Iris Martensson

When love became a nightmare

Paperback; 256 pages

The signs were there early on, but she glossed over them, under the delusion that they were just small mistakes. Soon their love relationship would work well again. Instead, it turned into a real inferno. Now Iris Mårtenson shares her expensive experiences with the book "Double Life".

Before everything happened, Iris Mårtenson had a good life. She was single with two children, had a job she enjoyed, a house and a car. One autumn evening 13 years ago, everything changed. She met Max. – Meeting him felt so special, so mutual and right, says Iris Mårtenson, who wrote the book under a pseudonym.

Then everything happened very quickly. They quickly became a couple and soon after that Max moved into her house. At first everything was peaceful and happy. Max was a responsive man who was committed to her and her children. But soon there were signs that everything was not as it should be, small signals that could all be rationalized away as a result of fatigue, stubbornness and the like.

The man I fell in love with and got engaged to was a fraud, and when he was accidentally discovered, his madness was awakened. My life was filled with harassment, fear, and I couldn't get rid of him. The more I searched, the more nasty things I found about him. He screamed at me not to mess around and that I could get what I wanted if I stopped looking. Then I decided to find out the whole truth, but got a shock when it became clear to me who he was. Life became a chaotic existence with discoveries that I really didn't want to know anything about. He chased me, both mentally and physically. I ran for my life.

This book is written to help those who are in a new relationship and where something may be starting to feel uncomfortable. My wish is that we will learn to listen to that very signal, because the first feeling is usually the one that is true. I thought I was a good judge of people, but I was wrong.

Votes about the book:

"I had intended to save your book as holiday reading but couldn't resist and started reading it - it became a binge read as I couldn't put it down.
It touched me deeply. You can hardly believe it's true that such people exist. Catha"

"I read it in one go the same weekend I got it. I can't believe it's true. I felt bad after I read it, considering what you've had to endure. If I didn't know who you are, I would have thought it was made up. Absolutely crazy!! Pia"

"I have met several women who have been victims of these men, but none with as horrible experiences as you. I thought about the dog and the house you had to leave.... I am sure it could help others in a similar situation. What a triumph that you have managed to write a book about your experiences. GS"

"I started reading but couldn't stop. I even read while I was cooking. What a crazy thing! Imagine what you've been through. AN"

"I read the whole book right away when I got it and I can't believe it's true. What a person. Rebecka"

"I had planned to save the book for my trip the following week but started by looking through it but it was so exciting that I couldn't stop reading. I haven't recovered yet from reading all that awful stuff. I would highly recommend your book to anyone in a new relationship. AN"

"I read your book in one go and got sunburned. Ugh, I feel really bad because it was completely crazy. Damn what you went through. I'm going to post it on my fb." Kristin

"I've read your book. WOW! OMG! It sounds like a terrible nightmare, especially when it comes to your partner who you should be able to trust. You can't be accused of being a jerk, there are always jerks in society.

It's a bit scary to enter into a new relationship after being burned like this. You seem like a strong person who has the strength to write about it. You also seem to have a strong family behind you, including your children when they were younger." JL London
