The more, the more

1) "The more I know about you, the more I am disappointed in you."

2) "The more I know about you, the more disappointed I am in you."

Which one is natural to you? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

I would have said that ""The more I know about you, the more disappointed I am in you." sounded more natural.

Or, "The more I know about you, the more disappointed I am with you." The meaning between both expressions is very subtle since they both have to do with relational investments. But, to be disappointed 'with' someone is just as good as to be disappointed 'in' someone. It has to do more with context than with anything else!!
