A woman has been left in 'mourning' after discovering the love of her life is actually a married man with a dirty secret. She explained how she uncovered her boyfriend's 'secret' double life after seeing his work name tag.
Taking to Reddit, she said: "I've been dating a man in his 50s for a few months - a fantastic gentleman, I was really loving life. While away on business, I saw his name tag had a different name than what he gave me.
"I’ve found loving photos with a wife on Facebook. Grieving is the word for what I feel." She went on to explain how she has been cheated on in the past - and ended up contacting the other woman to share what had been happening behind her back.
However, she doesn't know whether to come clean this time, having never received a response from those she has previously tried to help.
"In the past, I've sent messages to the other girlfriend, but with no response. What do you suggest?," she asked.
"She should know that, right? I’m so sad and disappointed how people treat each other.
"For those who say to just dump him and not tell… he gave me herpes. Everything else tested negative. He said he didn’t think it was him but there are facts."
While most users share their sympathies with the woman, others urged her to contact the wife to tell her the truth about her "disgusting" husband.
One user said: "Tell the wife in the most non-confrontational way possible. It may appear that she does nothing, but she’ll have the information, which is what matters.
"I’ve been the wife on the receiving end of this kind of message and when a stranger brings information like this to you, you don’t know their intent or if it is credible.
"But, having this happen made me hyper aware and on the lookout for suspicious behaviour. Spoiler - we’re now divorced."
Another user added: "He gave you herpes? Not to mention married. Yeah, I'd make his life a living hell. Sorry this happened to you."
A third user said: "Please, please, please tell her! I have been in her shoes and multiple people could have stopped that train.
"I am so thankful the other women came forward. She was also misled about the status of our marriage."
