John, you're under arrest. Oh, no. Don't do it. I'm an OG Oki Storytime podcast host. I don't care. I'm making sure that you stay here for the next two minutes. All right, I'll be detained for the two more minutes before we get into this episode. Yeah, we got some ads coming up. So stick around. Think around. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. My boyfriend is already married, and that's not the only thing he lied about. Sounds like you should break up. I was seeing a guy for a few months and who I met over the summer. I had to go back to university halfway across the world, and I thought that nothing would thus progress out of it. However, he told me that he would fly over to see me. He'd fly over to where I was, and he stayed with me for nearly a month each time. By the way, this comes from user Duck Crap. And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R-slash-OK Storytime subreddit. Those few months where he visited were absolute bliss. He was kind and gentle, and he would do the littlest things

that made me feel that he could possibly be the one, or at least be around for a very long time, as naive as that sounds. He would cook for me in the morning, improve my apartment, and took care of me when I was sick or just feeling down. It was like he understood me, and he was in tuned to my need. I had insomnia before, but that went away when he was here. Simply put, when I was with him, it felt like there was nothing to worry about and he would be there for me even through my personal problems. I get very paranoid sometimes and would question him, but his answer was that I was the only one. If I wasn't, then how would it be possible that he was out of country for so long

without good reason? My fears slowly quelled and I was looking forward to the next time he was going

to be here, which was this weekend. I found out he wasn't who I thought he was when I decided

to stalk his social media profile history. His page didn't have anything suspicious

until I saw a like from someone.

Long story short, I found out he was married with a kid. It might be that he's estranged from them

as he's able to post photos of his trip over here, but estranged or not, it doesn't matter.

I confronted him and he was trying to deny it. He claimed it was a sham marriage and the kid

wasn't his, that he married her to enable her to stay in country for business purposes. I kept questioning him, and he just kept telling me more details, which I could barely stand to hear, even if his story was true. He told me that he'd do anything I wanted now, and that we could settle down anywhere I like like and that he was willing to give up everything

back home for me. I told him to void the marriage and change the surname of the kid and that I wanted

proof that the kid wasn't his. At this point, I was hysterical and knew that I already couldn't

accept him even if what he said was true. I eventually probed further myself and found more stuff that was deeply

hurtful and just proved that he was telling me lies. He told me that since it was a sham marriage

that nobody knew, this obviously was not the case, as I found. I texted him with what I saw

and told him that we were over and ignored him for the last couple of days. He was begging me to let

him see me this weekend and that it wasn't what I thought it was. He sent me photos and told me that he was at the lawyer's office and that he wants to fix everything so he can be with me. I told my mom about this and she called him up. She told me that he had nothing to say and that he was silent. It is just a few days after I found out all this and it hurts a lot. I can barely get out of bed. I've been sleeping the past two days and not eating. Sometimes the pain from betrayal gets so unbearable. I can't get rid of the thoughts about the whole thing, and I think back a lot of the time we spent together, and I feel hopeful that we can work it out. But then I remember what the situation is and that it would be an absolute deal breaker for just about anyone. I cannot believe that the man I was with turned out to be

someone totally different from what I knew. Now I'm afraid that I would not find someone who would

be able to make me feel the same way and be so in tune with my needs and wants. It was a bonus that

he was also tall and attractive, to me at least, and also well-to-do

and capable of providing me with comfortable standards of living. I fear that he might be the one

I keep thinking about and that I have lost out on a, quote, good life with him where I didn't
