46. Found Out Late Or Early?
Well, he wasn’t my spouse, but he had proposed to me that morning. He said he had to go to work to cover a shift, but when he didn’t call me for his dinner break, as he usually did when he worked that shift, I got worried (He was an LEO) and called him.
Someone else picked up his phone and explained that the “guy whose phone this is, yeah, I think he went up to a room with his girlfriend. We have it down here waiting for him.” They were at a hotel.
Turns out he used it as an excuse to sleep with another woman he knew from when they were in the academy together and had been seeing each other for a while. She was married.
The next morning, when he came to pick me up so we could get our parents to take them to brunch and announce the news, I refused to go with him. In hindsight, I should’ve waited until we were all at brunch, and he had paid the bill to confront him for the free food, but I was young and dumb.
