He Made Up An Imaginary Girlfriend To Ward Off A Flirtatious Coworker Two Years Ago, But Then He Started Having A Fake “Affair” With His Coworker, And After He Tried To Cut It Off, But His Coworker Threatened To Expose Him As A Cheater
Two years ago, this thirty-eight-year-old guy found himself in an uncomfortable situation with a woman he worked with. More specifically, his coworker asked him out on a date, and he just was not interested.
So, in an effort to be polite, he decided to tell his coworker that he already had a girlfriend. He obviously did not, though, and the lie turned out to be a massive mistake.
Apparently, even after lying about being in a relationship, his coworker never backed off. In fact, she just kept flirting with him even more and coming on stronger and stronger.
“So, I began to lie more and create this entire backstory for my relationship,” he said.
Then, after other coworkers heard him discussing his fake relationship, it became common knowledge that he was in a (fake) relationship with a woman named “Kelly.” And “Kelly’s” backstory only got more and more intricate as time went on.
“She’s got red hair and has a bad relationship with her mother– which makes the holidays difficult on me because they always fight. I met her on Plenty of Fish, and our first dates involved mini-golf and Candle-pin bowling,” he explained.
“She has an out-of-state sister that she visits fairly frequently and spends the night. Currently, she works for one of those rent-a-cop security firms, so she’s always working in unpredictable locations. The list goes on. Kelly is a very detailed character.”
Anyway, he never associated with any of his coworkers outside of work, so no one was ever able to unearth his lie and prove him wrong. Well, that was until he admitted to being stupid and decided to start sleeping with the flirtatious coworker.
Now, he realizes that it was a terrible idea– because apparently, the coworker seems “obsessive and weird,” but he was “such a loner” he just gave into her advances.

Plus, in order to keep up with the lie about Kelly, he has been forced to pretend as though he is having an affair!
He always tells the coworker that he can only see her briefly from time to time to be intimate because of Kelly, and that is it.
Just recently, though, his worker began broaching the topic of them getting serious, and he was forced to reveal that he would not be leaving his girlfriend– who, again, does not exist.
His coworker did not like hearing that, though, and actually snapped at him. Then, she claimed that she was going to expose him to everyone!
“We haven’t worked together for a year. My folks are dead, my siblings live in a different state, and I have a handful of platonic friends. She is hunting ghosts right now,” he revealed.
So now, he feels like a total moron and has no idea what to do about the situation. And to be honest, the only two options he can think of are to either move away or somehow concoct an even bigger lie to keep this snowball rolling.
Can you imagine being stuck in an imaginary relationship for two years? Would you have ever taken the lie so far? Could he possibly just pretend he broke up with “Kelly” and does not want to see anyone else right now– or might that end badly? If you were in his shoes, what would you do?
