I had the first inkling when we were getting ready for bed. I was in bed while he was doing his thing in the bathroom. His phone rang, and it was some chick I'd never heard of. I asked him who she was and why she was calling at this hour. He had a plausible story that I was foolish enough to believe. We were only dating and didn't live together. Then he went missing one day, and I had no idea what had happened. I phoned, emailed, texted, and tried every way to get ahold of him.
Turns out he'd been in an accident and was in the hospital. I only found out when his GIRLFRIEND called me to let me know. She'd been to his apartment looking for him and found all my messages on his computer and some jewelry I'd left a couple of nights earlier. He tried to flush a receipt down the toilet the night before. I got up way earlier than him and found the receipt floating in the toilet. It was for a hotel room two hours away from our house. He had just returned from a 'business trip' that took him 'out of town' for four days — the four days that happened to be on the receipt for the hotel two hours away. His boss verified there was no business trip and that he had requested PTO and was out of the office. That was an awkward phone call for both of us. Once everything sunk in, I was livid and in turmoil all at once. I had suspected something was going on but had no proof, and being the way I am, I just assumed it was all in my head and I was overreacting. That wrecked me for a good, long time. I still can't stand to hear his name. I get physically ill at the sound of it. After five years of marriage, I didn't know his true personality. I'm still convinced he was a sociopath. Once I discovered what he was doing, he became cold, manipulative, and cruel. That was his true self. He was a hell of an actor for a long time. I had to check my then-boyfriend's email three years ago on Thanksgiving morning for a code to get back into Hulu. I saw a strange email headline regarding a deposit into someone's account and clicked on the email. I discovered he had been sending $400 to a woman who lived halfway across the country each month. I woke him up to find out what was going on and found out that another woman was paying his house note in exchange for racy photos from him. We had been together for almost two years, and I planned to move in with him (he lived two hours away). I started talking to some of his friends afterward, and they all told me that he told them I was paying for the house. There were so many red flags that I ignored due to love bombing, and every time I think about him, and how foolish I was, I want to punch the air. I was in a relationship that I believed to be my first grown-up, 'mature' one. The first six months were incredible, amazing, and a whirlwind of feelings — typical at the start of most relationships. We often talked about the future and us remaining together. Soon after the six months, it seemed like he had less and less time to spend with me. Being lovestruck, I accepted it and all his excuses for about another year or so. I found out the day AFTER he got married that I wasn't the only woman in his life. He had the audacity to call me two days after his wedding, asking me to come over. He said he 'missed me' and wanted to spend time with me. I formulated a plan quickly and agreed it would be great to spend time together. I gathered all of his belongings (not much) in a box at the front door. When he showed up, I opened the door and dropped the box at his feet. After looking at its contents, he asked me what was he supposed to do with his stuff. Calmly, I responded, 'Gee, I don't know. Why don't you go ask your new wife?' and closed the door and locked it. I never saw or heard from him again. I dodged a bullet there! This was not a spouse, but someone I had seen on and off for four years. We were not yet serious because I had been attending and finishing graduate school, but the 'I love yous' were shared, we were intimate, and he indicated he wanted us to be exclusive and serious. Then, a mutual friend and I went to lunch one day, and I was talking about the most recent time I had seen this guy. The friend looked at me seriously and said, 'I don't know how to tell you this, but got remarried this summer to a woman in Brazil.' Then, they proceeded to show me a wedding photo. He had fully married her, bought a house with her, and lived with her. I had no idea she even EXISTED, much less that they were dating/married. He was seeing me the entire duration of their relationship and kept it completely compartmentalized. I was heartbroken. The best part is she ended up being a convicted money launderer and is currently under investigation for drug trafficking, and they've already divorced. Guess you should have googled her first, my dude. Karma. A woman called me at work randomly to let me know she was 'in love' with my partner of 14 years.
