He Found Out That His Girlfriend She Was Engaged To Another Guy
While this 26-year-old man was still in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend, 28, she began to distance herself. She cited struggles with her mental health as the reason for the emotional distance.
He was worried that she was pulling away, but he did his best to be supportive while she was going through a difficult time, making sure not to put pressure on her to communicate more often.
As time went on, their communication lessened. They had only been dating for six months at this point, and he didn’t know his girlfriend’s friend group too well.
In order to try to receive updates about his girlfriend’s mental health, he looked up some of her friends on social media.
Throughout their entire relationship, his girlfriend claimed that she didn’t use social media or have any social media accounts.
“When I found her friends online, I also found out that my ex does have social media and uses it regularly,” he said.
“To my surprise, I found out she has been engaged to someone since 2019. When checking public records, her fiancé’s primary address was listed the same as hers.”
Understandably, he was stunned when he discovered all of this. He confronted his girlfriend even though he knew that her mental health was suffering. According to her, she and her fiancé ended their engagement in 2020.
“I presented her with a photo of them in 2022. She told me she always lived alone and bought her place out of interest in seeing new areas (not living with a fiancé),” he explained.

During their argument, his girlfriend called him “‘crazy'” and told him that this situation wasn’t any of his business.
“She told me to leave her alone, and I said, ‘Gladly,’ to which she wildly kept on talking. I think she panicked and realized she was losing part of her support system,” he shared.
After this conversation, he felt a mix of emotions. He was stunned by what he discovered, but he was also elated and felt a sense of relief that he found out what his girlfriend was hiding so that he could end the relationship.
It was lucky that he broke up with her before he became too emotionally entangled. At the same time, he feels guilty for abandoning her when she is currently suffering so much, and he acknowledges that he probably made her mental state a bit worse.
Since he cut ties with her, he realized that he may never know the entire story or whether it was even true that his girlfriend was going through mental health issues in the first place.
Later, he got in touch with his ex-girlfriend’s fiancé to let him know what she had been up to.
