Yes. Met a guy when I was away with friends for a music festival weekend.
I was with him for a few months and found out from a mutual friend that he’d been down there with his gf, they’d had a blazing row and he went out without her that night.

He then ended it with her a few days later after we’d had a couple of dates.

When I asked if it was true he got very defensive, waffled a load of excuses before begrudgingly admitting it. Then had the cheek to ask ‘this doesn't change anything for us does it?’ - err yes!

Yes happened to me! I was upstairs waiting for him, we just had dinner. Heard him downstairs on the phone tell someone he loved them, turnt out it was his girlfriend! Couldn’t have loved her that much, he was coming upstairs to sleep with me!! I didn’t know until after when I started to stalk Instagram. Shit bag!!

Old friend and he boosted my ego constantly calling me sexy and nice birthday messages and calls once a month it got very real they he was coming down for a weekend and I happened to say - you haven’t said you were single - oh yes he has a girlfriend and has for a year - all my fault for not asking as apparently he never lied - SM is clear of her - nothing on Facebook or instagram etc

Tell her! If you know just send screen shots to her! I would definitely want to know and I would absolutely tell the girl!

🙋🏻‍♀️ Was a fiancée and not a girlfriend and found out a few days after our ONS. His mate told me. Doubt he’s still married…

Yup the old cliché " we are finished but I just haven't moved out yet, looking at a flat Saturday " blabla which turned out to be bullshit.

@ladygindiva how did you find out it was BS?

Yup. Pretty sure they are the guys who cannot cope without being in a relationship, and that's how they jump from one to the next.

absolutely this

Absolutely this, please tell her. People have a right to know what's going on in their relationship.

Even if you didn't meet, the emotional connection was there and this is as bad as a physical one.

Spidey senses. Him being weird about being seen in public. Panicking incase I talked to my hairdresser about "us". Things like that.
