He just sat on the computer all day, claiming he was working from home.He was married and had a son. I found a box of his wedding photos, and he tried to tell me that he, the groom holding the bride, was just the best man. I took the train home immediately. He also wasn’t 21; he was 30.It turns out she did not have cancer. It was all an attempt to gain sympathy from everyone around her, including me. Thankfully, I wised up before the wedding.My ex lied to me about her age. It was during college; I was 24, and she claimed to be 26 (we weren’t dating at the time). When we started dating, a few odd things stood out that I ignored: – Her senior pictures had an outdated 90s vibe. – She never let me see her ID. Eventually, curiosity got the best of me, and I googled her. It turned out she was actually 31. While the age difference itself wasn’t an issue, the fact that she lied about it definitely was.She was stealing $500 a month from me for years while I struggled to pay our bills.

In fact, he actually managed to get married while we were together! He intentionally planned his wedding for when I was on vacation in Greece. We lived a couple of hours away from each other, and he was a cop working shifts. I also worked shift work, so it was normal for us not to see each other for two weeks at a time. That’s how he was able to pull it off. But I tracked down his new wife and told her everything, complete with receipts for proof.My wife, whom I thought was my best friend in a wonderful relationship for 13 years, sat me down and confessed she had been cheating on me with many people since the beginning of our relationship. That was a pretty big secret I would have loved to have known about 12.75 years earlier.I found a letter from a bank we didn’t use, confirming that she had opened an account with a large portion of the family funds.I found out the man I’d been dating for two years had been on LGBTQ dating apps the entire time we were together. He referred to me as his “unaware GF.” It gutted me.My wife of 18 years kissed me and went to work. I was sick and staying home that day when suddenly the doorbell rang. A woman at my door, dressed just like my wife, introduced herself as the wife of the man my wife had been having an affair with for three years. She showed me receipts of shopping; this was how she had caught the affair. Her husband had been buying my wife the same clothing and jewelry he had been buying for his own wife. I was devastated, and my whole world fell apart; I never suspected anything like this from her. I always thought she had been dressing more elegantly lately because of the raise she had gotten.
