It Turns Out The Guy She’s Seeing Is Married With Kids, And He Lied To Her For The Last Year
Throughout the last year, this young woman has been seeing a guy named Tom, and they first met on a dating app in 2018.
They had a little fling, which turned into way more a few years later. She and Tom always had a great connection, and then they started hooking up.
It was supposed to be a no-strings-attached kind of arrangement, and that worked for both of them.
“We had good banter and a ton of chemistry, despite a few warning flags like a mini-van which he stated was borrowed from his sister, and a phone screen of a woman and kid (also his sister and kid),” she said.
“It was explained and we moved on. The experience was fireworks, then I went on with my life.”
Earlier in 2023, she found Tom on a dating app once more, and she swiped on him. They instantly matched and started talking again, and it was right back to how things were: fun and easy.
She was still single, and Tom insisted he was too and wanted to see her again sometime soon. But, it was easier said than done, as Tom’s schedule was super hectic, and he always had an excuse.
Finally, he admitted to dealing with some grave family matters, and she could relate. As they were discussing all of that, she also brought up some concerns she had previously, and Tom said he wasn’t married, but he was eager to get to see her.
They ended up being able to get together, and she was happily surprised to see that their chemistry was still off the charts.

She even spent New Year’s Eve with Tom, and they had a ball. At one point, Tom mentioned having social media, which was a red flag to her, as he always insisted he wasn’t online.
She decided to investigate, and she found Tom on social media. He had used the exact same name online that he had used on the dating app.
“Under the handle that then confirmed: 1. He’s married. 2. He has kids. 3. That’s his whole social media gimmick (“I’m kind of a big deal, just ask my wife… and a proud Dad.”),” she explained.
Oh, and it also turns out that his name is not Tom. So, he’s been lying to her for a whole year about many, many things.
“I feel sick about this whole situation,” she continued. “I also have receipts from the year, so it can’t be denied. He’s been radio silent. And yes, I messaged the wife and provided the evidence…”
What advice do you have for her?
