She Feels Humiliated And Pathetic After Discovering That She’s The “Other Woman”
For the last three months, this 28-year-old woman has been dating a guy the same age as her, and she was completely blown away by him.
They have been on one date so far and were already making a lot of plans with one another. They both have enjoyed buying and exchanging gifts for the other person too.
Yesterday, they were supposed to go out on a second date, but then she didn’t hear a word from him.
She already was starting to have a bad feeling about him, as she noticed he was only speaking to her during his work hours as an on-call paramedic.
The only times he communicated were in between the calls he went on for his job, and that raised some red flags on her end.
Another thing that has made her feel weird is that he pushed their first date back until it was dark outside, and he did the same thing with the date they were supposed to go on yesterday; he kept pushing the time back later and later.
At first, she thought he was pushing the times back on their dates because he works night shifts and is most likely used to that time.
But then, he showed up as a suggested friend on her Facebook profile, and she noticed that he had a photo of himself and another girl set as his profile picture.
She thought this had to be his ex-girlfriend since the photo was dated September of last year.

“After I got a text from him changing our date tonight from his place to the halfway point between us (we live almost 3 hours from one another), I got a little suspicious,” she explained.
“I had this sinking feeling that he was trying to be sneaky with me because originally, this was supposed to be a movie night at his place. Which I was really looking forward to.”
“My brain kept nagging at me about the picture of him and this woman, so I went to her FB page and saw four days ago, she posted a new photo of them. So I messaged her.”
She then asked this girl if she was dating the guy in question. This girl replied back asking why she wanted to know, so she responded that she liked this guy and had been speaking to him for several months.
It was then that this girl confessed to her that they were, in fact, dating. She told this girl thank you for the information before saying sorry for bothering her.
As soon as that conversation was closed, the guy instantly sent her a text saying he needed to talk to her in person.
“Wanting this to be some sick joke, I told him I would still meet him at our halfway point and that I had a lot of questions for him,” she said.
“He told me he couldn’t now because he had to do damage control with the lady. So I asked if he was exclusive with her and he said yes. I couldn’t help myself and peeked at her profile again a few hours later, and she removed the profile picture of him, and I imagine she left him. I feel pathetic, embarrassed, and like an idiot.”
“Especially because I’m just hoping this guy texts me and we can work it out or that it was some sick joke. I have had the worst luck with dating and have been feeling like I can’t get others to take a chance on me. I never thought I would be the other woman. Better now than if he ever asked me to be exclusive…but I just feel like I’ve been punked.”
