When your trusted partner has another life

Do you think you would be able to tell if your other half had another life?

Apparently some things aren't that difficult to hide, as one woman found out the hard way.

Answering a question about subtle signs of cheating on Reddit , she revealed how she discovered her boyfriend had been playing away for years - but it wasn't exactly subtle.

The woman, told how she thought the other lady was just a friend until she received a wedding invitation.

'I got mailed a wedding invitation by his fiance (sic) of four years that I had thought was just a good friend of his,' she wrote.

'That was not only a clear-cut sign he was cheating, but that I was the other woman and in second place.'

Sympathetic Reddit users, fascinated by the situation, started offering their apologies and asking questions.

One asked if the other woman knew her at all, to which she replied: 'She knew me as a good friend of his, and I thought the same concerning her.

'He was careful to ensure that we never spoke long or hang out with each other.

'I never thought it was weird seeing he knew of my friends but never hung out or spoke to them for long either.

'It wasn't too suspicious because we were somewhat long distance and met at a concert, so we weren't really integrated in the same social circles.'

She explained how she declined the invitation and sent her boyfriend a photo of it, after which he "removed himself" from her life and she blocked him on all forms of communication.

'I decided against telling her and just moved on with my life,' she wrote.

'It would have just been turned around on me seeing she trusted him, as I did.'

The woman believed that she would have been dubbed bitter and jealous if she had tried to warn her off getting married to him.

One person asked if they thought the fiancee had invited her because she knew about the 'affair' and wanted to let her know.

'It's possible, but not likely. She didn't come off as being the type of person who'd just let something like that fly.

'But, I didn't think he was the type to cheat either, so I suppose pretty much anything is possible,' she replied.

What happened to the happy couple? 'Apparently, they got divorced a year or so later. She caught him cheating,' she claimed.
