A man who recently got engaged has been reconsidering his entire relationship after he uncovered a secret his fiancée has been keeping for over a decade – all thanks to his sister
You should be able to fully trust the person you end up marrying.
For the vast majority of us, we’ll know our partners pretty well by the time we decide to tie the knot. But what if you discovered that your partner had been keeping a colossal secret?
That’s the situation one man claims to have found himself in after he uncovered an unknown part of his fiancée’s life that she’d managed to keep hidden for the entirety of their relationship.
And what’s more, the information he discovered has left him reconsidering the wedding. He said what he learnt about his future wife has made him “look at her in a different light”.
In a post on Reddit, the man said he’s been in a relationship with his fiancée for four years, and they got engaged last month. But the incident that she’s been keeping hidden happened 10 years ago – and involves his sister.
He explained his sister “always seemed a bit nervous” around his partner, and when he asked her about it she simply said they were “old high school friends” so he brushed it off, thinking his sister was just a bit weirded out by him dating one of her former friends.
But a few weeks after they got engaged, the man’s sister decided to finally come clean. It turned out that when she was in school, her boyfriend cheated on her with her friend – who is now the same woman that her brother is set to marry.
The man wrote: “She said my fiancée knew about their relationship but she still chose to hook up with her boyfriend. I was a bit shocked because I remember consoling my sister for a few months after her boyfriend cheated on her. I just didn’t know that the person he had cheated on with was my fiancée.”
He has since asked his fiancée about it and she “fully admitted to it”, and began sobbing as she said it was a “horrible mistake” that she still “feels guilty” about. But even though she’s a “changed woman” now, the man still can’t help but have doubts over their upcoming wedding.
“While I do believe my fiancée that she is a changed woman, and that she is not the type to cheat, I am just having second thoughts about everything,” he continued. “I still remember the hurt my sister felt in high school, and to now know that my fiancée was responsible for the hurt, it makes me look at her in a different light.”
Commenters on the post urged the man not to be so hasty in ending the relationship, as 10 years is a long time for someone to change, especially when the transgression happened when the woman was a teenager.
One person said: “I would hope that you aren’t the same person you were in high school 10 years later. This goes for you and your fiancée. People grow. High schoolers are literal children.”
And another added: “If she had told you about this, it would have been fine. Because she’s right, sometimes kids/teenagers do stupid things and usually grow out of it. But the fact that she kept it from you for four years is just not right.”
