When her boyfriend’s dad ended things with her, she was completely alright with it. As she sat down to dinner with her former friend with benefits and his wife, she realized that this was the woman he dropped her for.
“The entire meeting was uncomfortable and awkward, to say the least,” she explained.
“His dad and I didn’t exchange any words in private. I could barely look him in the eyes at the dinner table.”
“Anyway, we eventually leave and I text him about the entire situation. He said that if I want to date his son long-term I can’t tell him what happened between us and we have to act casual around each other, the past is the past after all.”
She has not said anything to her boyfriend about what went down with his dear old dad, but she did question her boyfriend about how long his dad has been with his stepmom.
Her boyfriend filled her in and said that his dad was dating his stepmom for several years, but they tied the knot one year ago; at the exact same time her boyfriend’s dad ended things with her.
This made her feel so much more terrible about everything since clearly her boyfriend’s dad lied to her about being in a committed relationship with someone else and he was cheating on her boyfriend’s stepmom while hooking up with her.
It bothers her to not tell her boyfriend the truth and she thinks they should only be open and honest with one another, however, if she does tell her boyfriend about what happened with his dad, she thinks it could spell the end to their relationship.
“I don’t want to keep any secrets from him and it also makes me feel kind of uneasy since it’s a pretty important detail to be hiding from somebody, especially your SO,” she said.
“I don’t wanna lose him either because I really love him a lot.”
Wow. How would you handle this one? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
