Her Boyfriend Just Admitted That He’s Married And Now She’s Envious Of His Wife
After dating her boyfriend for six months, this young woman was horrified to find out a few evenings ago that he’s actually married.
Her boyfriend promises that he’s separated from his wife, but she can’t hide how blindsided she is by everything.
Her boyfriend hasn’t once hinted to her in the months they’ve been together that he has a wife, and now she’s envious of this woman, even though she’s never met her.
Looking back, she can’t say her boyfriend gave her a reason to be wary. He has changed his Facebook status to show he’s in a relationship with her, but the one fishy thing he did is that he used to say at the beginning of their relationship that he had a ton of roommates, and she couldn’t come over to his place since they agreed not to have significant others over.
She thinks now that her boyfriend was living with his wife for awhile, and that’s the reason why she wasn’t able to visit him in his own home.
A couple of weeks ago, he said his roommates moved out, and then he allowed her to come over. She just trusted what he said.
According to her boyfriend, he has to be separated from his wife for an entire year until he can divorce her, as that’s a requirement from the state where they live.
“He then proceeded to tell me that they HAVE been separated for a year, but the thought of divorce just hadn’t crossed his mind,” she explained.
“In fact, his exact words were, “I forgot about it,” and he said he’s been spending all of his time and attention on me. I feel incredibly hurt and betrayed.”

“I can’t get over the fact that for 6 months, he’s had a wife all along. He says they don’t even talk to each other anymore, and he does spend all of his free time with me so I believe him there. But this has just sent me into a spiral.”
If her boyfriend admitted his marital status from the get-go, she never would have given him a chance.
They are both in their 20s, and she has no desire to date someone who has been married before her, as she wants to be the first.
She can admit it’s childish, but she cannot get past her boyfriend having exchanged vows with a woman already.
“I’m never going to be his first true partner, and he doesn’t feel like MY partner anymore,” she said.
“…The morning after he told me, I sent him a text message saying the next time I want him to contact me is after his divorce has been finalized, and he’s sending me copies of the legal documentation.”
“Until then, I don’t want any contact whatsoever. He still hasn’t responded. On some level, I feel like I might be making an immature decision based off of my own insecurities where I feel like I’m second best. I know it’s best to end things here, but I really did like him so much. Is there any coming back from this? What should I do next?”
