Beware of This Man!

Paul Marshall, 40, apologized "to all the women I may have hurt" after two women, whom he was two-timing, discovered his cheating and attached posters describing him as a "cold, heartless letch" to 150 lamp posts across Southampton. Next to his picture, the women added: "If he approaches you and tries to charm you into his bed, run as fast as you can."

 [Although] he was not named on the poster, Mr Marshall has now come  [forward] , admitted the error of his ways and promised to behave in future. The father of two said: "I know I've done wrong, I know I've lied. I know I've been [deceitful] and I know I've hurt people. I do not feel good about that and unfortunately, now I've had a reality check, so I don't do that again. I would like to publicly apologize, not just to these two women, but to all the women I may have hurt [over] the years."

The security driver was in a relationship with shop manager Lisa Hennessy, 44, also of Southampton, for eight months, but was also in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Mr Marshall said: "There are no reasons or excuses  [for] it, I suppose, just me not being able to say no and not being able to finish one thing before I started the other."

Mr Marshall denied claims he was with a third partner while he was still seeing the other two women. He added: "At no point [did I have] three on the go. The third woman is my first love, who I am still friends with. I was trying to leave the other relationship behind to be with Lisa and hadn't seen her towards the final months, but the past caught  [up with] me. Unfortunately, the two relationships kind of blended together. People do stupid things and, at the end of the day, they pay the price. I want to sit down,  [work out] what I want from life, move on and hope to get it right next time."

The notices read: "Beware of this man, he is a cold heartless letch who preys on single women, uses them, cheats  [on]them, then breaks their hearts!!!" Miss Hennessy said: "I couldn't have wished to meet a more charming man. It was an absolutely perfect relationship. When I found out he wasn't my Prince Charming, but  [an] ugly toad, my whole world caved in."
