Weird Lie
When my grandparents first separated, my grandfather went to live at their lake house until things were figured out. My uncle told his son (my cousin) that our grandpa had moved to a far away town to be with another woman (and he mentioned a woman by name that my grandfather was friends with) and that they were living together and he was never coming back.
My uncle straight up fabricated this for no other purpose than “looking cool” for his kids. The woman he mentioned, she had died a few months prior from cancer and he knew it and still used her in a lie to his kids.
My cousin still has a hard time talking to my grandfather because he has NEVER been told the truth about the whole situation. Most of us can’t really talk to my uncle… Story credit: Reddit / yambercork
