When a lover tells you that they're no longer seeing another person, most people would take that statement at face value. If a married man tells you he's divorced, why would you think otherwise? One Redditor just recently found out exactly how naïve it was to believe everything a tall, dark stranger tells you over a dating app. Perhaps the first red flag could have been that OP was a 20-something gay man scouring Grindr and was getting matched with an older guy with no profile photo, a vague bio, and an "ex wife" in the wings. Alleged ex-wife, we should say.
OP was simply minding his own business and meeting dudes on dating apps when he happily stumbled upon one of the classic closeted tropes out there– a 40 year old guy who had an unhappy wife at home. Except he claimed that he and his wife had divorced so he was ready to move on and explore his other options. All that sounds good and dandy, until OP went over to his house, slept with him, and nearly got discovered by the wife in question unexpectedly coming up the stairs.
This secret lover had a lot to contemplate while he was stark nude hiding in the en-suite bathroom, attempting to eaves drop on the married man's conversation downstairs. Should he tell the wife that her husband was being unfaithful?
Naturally, OP went straight to Reddit with his story and commenters provided insanely helpful feedback that might actually turn this sour situation into a semi-heartwarming outcome. Scroll for the whole story about how OP went from closeted secret lover to female self-esteem saver in this outrageously true story.
