Summary
UNFILTERED: I'm joined by a woman who tells the story of how she accidentally ended up in a long distance relationship with a man she met on Bumble while he was visiting NYC from Australia. We hear about their rom-com worthy first date, why they decided to keep in touch, and how deep their connection got despite the distance. She shares how spotted some red flags along the way, but was easily able to justify them and continue forward, until she received a message from his girlfriend of over a decade.

| 0:46.0 | All right. And can you please introduce yourself and share what you're here to talk about? |
| 0:50.3 | Sure. Hi, I'm anonymous. And today I'm going to talk about a time in my life where I was the other woman in a relationship and I didn't know. And I'm going to talk about how that has changed my perspective in dating and just my overall outlook on modern dating. |

| 1:30.1 | I feel like that we don't hear enough. |
| 1:37.0 | And there's no doubt in my mind that it happens to so many people. And it's just not talked about because people are embarrassed. People feel guilty. People feel shame around it. And so I really, |
