He Just Learned That His Girlfriend Has Been Lying To Him For Six Years About Being A Nurse
Six years ago, this 36-year-old man began seeing his 35-year-old girlfriend, and she always maintained that she worked as a registered nurse at a nearby hospital.
Over the years, he never had any reason to doubt that she worked in the career she said she did. However, he recently learned that she’s been lying to him about being a nurse, and he suspects she’s actually a nanny instead.
He made this discovery after his girlfriend allowed someone to use her car on a road trip, and they installed an Airtag in the car with the person’s knowledge to help them feel better about loaning it out.
Several days later, his girlfriend accidentally pocket-dialed him while she was supposed to be at work, and he could clearly hear kids on the other end of the line.
He texted his girlfriend to see if she was alright, and then he realized they never took the Airtag out of her car after it was returned from the road trip.
“When I checked, her car was not at the hospital, but actually at a doctor’s house that she babysits for on the occasional weekend,” he explained.
“That night when she got home, she had this crazy story that she took the train from the hospital and ran into that doctor’s family on the train; that’s why I heard the kids.”
“When I asked her if she parked her car at their house, she said, “No, I left it at the hospital.” I decided that I needed more evidence before I confronted her, so I let that lie go.”
A day later, he checked and saw his girlfriend’s car was once more parked at the doctor’s house for the whole day.

In the days after that, her car has been at the same location. He ended up taking the Airtag out as he felt too upset to see that his girlfriend was lying to him.
His girlfriend came to America 11 years ago from another country all alone. She said she wanted to help her family in her home country, and that was her reason for immigrating.
He has since gone through their state’s nurse registry to look for her name, and he couldn’t find her in there.
He also has uncovered old tax documents that prove his girlfriend listed her profession as a nanny 8 years ago, though he couldn’t come up with anything more recent than that.
This relationship is hands-down the best one he has ever been in, and he doesn’t want to jeopardize that.
But, he did decide to confront his girlfriend and tell her that he knows she doesn’t work as a nurse. At first, she denied it all the way before accusing him of not trusting her.
“I tried to let her tell me the truth on her own, but that didn’t happen, so I brought up that I searched her name in the nurse database,” he said.
“At that point, she stopped denying it and just went silent. I’m hoping to still here from her why she did it and why she wanted to risk our relationship by lying for this long.”
