Double Life
u/b4rn5ey: “Was with [girlfriend] for just shy of 2 years. Holidays…discussions of marriage the lot. Claimed she lived at home with her Mum, who had terminal cancer, and as a result her mum didn’t want to bring anyone new into her life as the pain of knowing she would soon leave them was too much. Therefore we spent all our time at mine and I never met her family.
Received a message from a guy one night asking how I knew her, I explained, turns out her Mum was fine, and she had been engaged to this guy and living with him the entire time…they were due to get married in a fortnight. Still blows my mind that she managed to play us both so well the entire time.”
