Meet Chris aka Caleb Purtlebaugh
I met this guy on Adult Friend Finder. He introduced himself as Chris, a divorced single father who was looking for a steady friendship. I asked multiple times if he was single, he would answer that he was and he could only handle one woman. I was like cool, let’s meet and see how we click in person. We met and he seemed to be cool. Didn’t put off any crazy vibes but did make it a point to say that he was busy and that he has custody of his kids. I totally understood that being a single parent myself and decided to per-sue a friendship with him. We had talked about working towards the goal of not using condoms and went through all the talks about being clean and getting tests and all that. Well, I made the effort to do as we discussed but he would say well yeah, I’ve been tested but haven’t gone recently. So, basically, he never went to get tested but said he was clean, he’s only been divorced for a year and haven’t been with anyone if I remember correctly (Thinking back, I now think the reason he never got tested was because he knew I would ask to see the results that would have his real name on them). One day we got together, and we talked about being clean again and we decided to go ahead and not use a condom. I don’t feel any kind of way because for some odd reason he really made me feel at ease because he came across as genuine. Early on and throughout us being together, I started to notice he had married man tendencies which I called him out for, and he would deny that he was married or messing with anyone else. I did notice that he was still on AFF but never said anything. I had already started feeling like he wasn’t into me, that he was settling until someone better came along because why else would he still be on AFF if he really were interested in me in that way. Now I know it was because he was trying to hook up with multiple women.
We never really talked and if we did it was during the day, and he never had time to do anything if I did ask to do something. He basically wasn’t following through with what we had agreed to and I was becoming irritated or angry I should say. When I said something to him he told me that we didn’t agree to that to which I quickly replied yes we did. We kinda went back and forth and I eventually said fuck it. Let me just leave this man alone and start looking again but I was like damn, I don’t want to start all over again let me just give it a chance, he did say that he is shy. So, I decided to not be readily available anymore but still continue to hook up with him. One day, he sent me a text message and I didn’t respond right away. I forgot he sent a message and wound up not responding to it. The next day he messages me saying something like I guess you’re not interested anymore I wish you would’ve said something, and I was like hold up. I responded back with what are you talking about? I’ll text your ass and don’t get a response until the next day…I don’t respond and all of a sudden I’m not interested? I was like fuck you I’m done and deleted his number. A couple days later he sent me a text asking if I’ve cooled down and we talked about things and we continued on. So, some more time passes and I’m feeling the same way I did like a month or two prior of feeling like he was settling, not into me, and that there was someone else or just something’s not right. We were only meeting up like once a month or once in a couple months and I was like this is not what I agreed to. The first time I confronted him about this he suggested that I find someone to fill in when he couldn’t. I was like okay and then I became insulted, and it turned into this lil discussion, and he finally was like no I don’t want you (me) to find another guy. The next time I suggested finding a guy to fill in as far as going out to do things with and he didn’t like that. He was like what if you two sleep together and I was like then I’ll end things with you (Chris). I could tell it was an issue, so I was like fine, I guess I’ll just do things on my own. I got angry and ended things with him a few times. He had this comment he would say when I wanted to end things. He would always make it a point to say, “remember this is your choice.” When he would say that I would think, why is he saying that? I never really knew why he would say that, but I would take it as some sort of possible threat of not seeing him again. Also, when I decided not to follow through with meeting other guys to hang with because he didn’t like it, he would say remember that was your choice. I eventually got fed up with his lack of availability and responses to texts and finally ended things. I think I ended things with him like 3-4 times before I finally got fed up. I think when I started to withdraw more, he noticed it and decided to end things with me in his own way which was to stop responding to my texts. To me, he realized he lost what little control he had over me or that I was starting to catch on maybe.
When I would confront him on not knowing anything about him, he would say that he’s a private person. I would think to myself, no you’re not private you’re downright evasive, but I let it go because he said he was shy. After being with someone for some time I would think you would become more comfortable with each other but obviously we never got there because he was the one making it difficult by not being honest. I would ask him questions and I could tell he didn’t like answering them. He would limit me on the number of questions I could ask. I think I irritated him with all the questions I would ask that he’d never really answer. I would ask him questions sometimes and he would put his hand on his head and close his eyes when I did it in person. He was so evasive that he never told me what his jobs were. He told about what he did for one kind of but wouldn’t tell me what the second job was. When I would ask about his ex-wife his whole demeanor would change. He must have really gone through it with that woman because his tone and body language showed pure distress. He even talked negatively about his son. He would say he couldn’t trust him, that he had ADHD when I would ask why he doesn’t have his son watch the younger children so we could get together. He basically calls his son a narcissist and comes across as not liking him very much. There’s a lot more that transpired, but with all of the emotional shit he put me through or with all that happened I still wanted to see where it could go because he seemed like a good guy. I figured he was being that way because he was kind fresh out of a bad relationship taking on being a single father with two jobs. I couldn’t help it, but I wanted to fix things. I guess that’s my fault for sticking around for as long as I did because I knew deep down, I would never want to be in a relationship with him but I did want a friendship. I told him multiple times because I’m new to the area and wanted someone to talk to. If I did entertain that thought of being with him, I would be settling, and I didn’t want to do that.
I never really developed real feeling for him. I liked him at first but realized he wasn’t someone I would ever date because in my opinion he’ s a pussy and I had that thought before the real shit went down. I need someone with a backbone who will put me in my place when I get pissy not someone who will get his feelings hurt and tell me not to call him names. He would say to me that I didn’t have to cuss and not to call him names. I really felt like I couldn’t be myself with him in person or through text. I told him that multiple times as well. I couldn’t express anger to him at all and he did not get my sense of humor at all. He told me if I did show anger he would walk away because his ex-wife would yell at him for no reason and was mean apparently for no reason. He wouldn’t go into detail about what he went through but he eventually said to me that she wasn’t a good person at all with this serious look on his face. I would often wonder what he did for her to be that way. Because he certainly wouldn’t have married someone that was or is as mean as he says she is. There’s so much I don’t know and can only guess. Sometimes, I wish I could talk to her. I have a feeling he cheated on her.
It’s sad this man has the imagination to create a whole new identity to cheat on his wife, but lacks the imagination in the bedroom. He only wanted to have regular sex, the same thing, the same 2 positions, every time we got together. You’d think with what he was working with (It was small) he’d have a better imagination or better at other skills. It was rather boring and helped with my decision to leave his ass alone lol. I’d be laying in the bed afterwards like why am I putting up with his bullshit; the sex ain’t even good. Oh god, why did I hype him up making him think he was actually doing something.
Phone view…keep scrolling…
When I ended things, I was like good reddens but still felt something wasn’t right that he had to have had a wife or someone else. I couldn’t shake that feeling that he was getting over on me. So, one day I decided to look up his number with my app. It came back to no one and as a landline. I was like that mofo gave me a burner number. Well, to be fair, I did as well but gave him my real number once we were chatting more and I got a good feeling from him. Next, I posted the two pictures he sent me on Facebook asking if this was someone’s husband. One of my friend’s told me there were private groups to find stuff like that out so I posted his pictures there (with the same statement is this someone’s husband) once I was accepted into the group. The first few days, I got oh he’s been posted on here before and someone asked what his name was. I answered and she said yeah that’s not the name he gave but couldn’t remember what he told her. Another woman had said she chatted with him but didn’t meet him because she thought he was creepy. After about the 3rd or 4th day I was getting discouraged until I woke up one morning and saw that another woman commented saying that she was dating him and just ended things. I messaged her and then we spoke on the phone. Boy did she fill me in on him. They met in January but he and I met in September, they were actually dating one another. It wasn’t just sex from what she explained. I’m not go into great detail on what she went through. I’ll just say we were both sleeping with him at the same time. What I will say is she told me what his second job was but was lied to just like I was. She didn’t know much more personal things about him, but he lied about his name, that he was divorced, had custody of kids, and had two jobs. After a few days of talking, texting, and exchanging screen shots of our texts with Chris I decided to finally find out who he is. I sent the two pictures he sent me (showed above) to someone, and I got his real name and that he is married in 3 hours. I then took his real name and started searching him. I found his address, possible phone numbers and emails, his ex-wife’s name, wife’s name, mom, dad, brother etc. I then went to Levy County and looked him up there and saw his marriage certificate, divorce certificate, all the houses and land. The picture she sent me as confirmation was found online with one of his jobs.
Once I obtained all of that information, I printed some of it and put it in a folder. I reached out to him to tell him I need to speak to him about a situation. We met up a couple days later to talk. I specifically made it a point to bring up all the issues I had with him to listen to what he had to say. He totally lied to me the whole time and made it a point to bring up a few personal things I found insulting considering all that I found out he was doing. He is really good at turning things around on the other person when you call him out on his bullshit. I got tired of hearing his lies and being insulted. I presented all the information I had on him and he sat there calm and cool as shit with a scared look on his face. I showed him I knew he is married, where he lived, his wife’s name, ex-wife’s name etc., and even after I confronted him on all that I found out he still continued to lie while trying to apologize. At first, he was smug saying this should be interesting while picking up the papers I presented to him. Yeah, he quickly put that shit down when he saw that I had his address. I did reach out to someone who then reached out to his wife, and she was sent screen shots of my texts and the other woman’s texts.
This fool is so brazen that he continued to see me knowing that I worked at the same establishment of his wife. She and I work in the same field but different departments. For all I know, I could have interacted with his wife at some point. What’s sad is there are people who I work with that may know her and they know everything that has happened. This woman has to come into work wondering if someone knows what her husband has done not to mention possibly running into me. I’m sure she’s looked me up. I looked her up to see if I may have had interactions with her. I’m not going to remember what she looks like, but I’ll know it’s her when I see that name. I don’t know what she did as far as their relationship, but I can tell from the looks of her, she’s not going to leave him. I’m pretty sure he lied and cried, she fell for it, and stayed with him. He has no true remorse for what he’s done. He knows his wife won’t leave him and he’ll be able to go back to his shenanigans once things cool down. He’s been on that site for a couple of years (It tells you member since) searching for women to cheat on his wife with. Who knows how many women he’s lied to.
He did reached out to the other female to apologize to her, and then in the same sentence asked her to keep their conversations private. He also allowed this woman to spend money on a hotel room for his supposed birthday, and actually blew out candles on a cake that said, happy birthday, Chris. He also had her believe that they were in a relationship and it wasn’t until she asked him…Where do you see us in five years and he couldn’t answer her. Well, he wouldn’t answer because he already knew the answer which was nowhere.
That motherfucker tested my petty. I warned him not to wrong me. Now his ass is all over the internet. He’s lucky I didn’t put my hands on him. I am so angry and can’t get past this because This guy put my body at risk. He had the audacity to give me shit for wanting to meet other guys to hang out with, be friends with to do things with, but he was out looking for other women to have sex with and having sex with them. Is depraved indifference, to strong?
I looked him up because while I was exchanging text messages and screenshots of his texts with the other woman, I realized I was late. When I reached out to him to let him know he tried to gaslight me by saying he wore a condom the last time we were together which we did not. I sent him a pic of my pregnancy test and that was when he wanted to talk. I was so pissed that I started telling him I was going to come after him for child support but when I thought about it, I was like I know nothing about him to go after him for child support. So, that is why I really looked him up. To go into further detail as far as with the meeting (before I let him know I knew his real name), when we did discuss my pregnancy, his initial response was how unsafe it was to be pregnant with an IUD, my age (I’m considered geriatric in the OB world), and that I should have an abortion. Not, how do you feel or what do you want to do, just offering his suggestion of having an abortion after pointing out all the negatives. Let me add that he’s a republican that doesn’t believe in abortions (eyes rolling). I was insulted yet again and just kind of put that in the back of my mind. I knew he was someone that I couldn’t see myself with as far as a relationship let alone have a baby with. So, I went home after that dinner and thought about what he suggested. I’ve never been in this situation before but I knew it wasn’t something that I could ever do. I loved being pregnant with my two kids, but they are grown and out the house. I would be literally starting all over again. I called a couple places to get pricing and availability, I set up an appointment, and I will say he did offer to help with paying and transportation. I kinda went back and forth with taking money from but decided not to because I didn’t know if I could actually go through with it and I told him such. I went to the appointment, and I couldn’t do it. Got all the way to the room and stopped it. I sent him a text to tell him and he never responded. I sent him a text a few days or a week later to talk to him about my pregnancy and he didn’t respond. I had to use my burner number from when we first met to send him a text message and he didn’t respond for a few days even though I threatened to come to his house. His response was, and I quote, “Janice, this is not a good time to talk and I don’t want to be contacted. Later next week may be a better time. I will let you know.” Let me remind you that that response was a couple of days after my text asking to talk about my pregnancy. During that time I wrote an email basically telling him that I lied about my pregnancy and to let him know everywhere I posted about him. I DID THAT because he blocked me after I told him I couldn’t go through with the abortion. Realizing he blocked me after that showed me that he wasn’t going to be present and wanted nothing to do with me or the baby which is fine now that I think about it. I purposely made it so that I would never hear from him again because that’s what he wanted. My sister thinks I’m wrong and shouldn’t have done that but it’s okay. We will be fine without him. It’s better he thinks I was never pregnant and hate me than to hate me and be involved with the baby.

“VALUE STATEMENT: Protect, Serve and Support Our Community with Integrity”
My investigation revealed he works for Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and is a part of the Alachua County Sheriff’s department. It amazes me that he holds positions that would require integrity. The ease to which this man lies is next to none. This guy is a research administrator who is a research biologist with a Masters degree or maybe a PhD that is a part of the county sheriff. He is unethical and has no integrity. How do they know if he possesses these values with his work? I’m sure his lying has no limits and am sure he lies the same at work as he does at home. A shitty person is a shitty person no matter the environment he or she is in.
