I received a random IM from a guy I’d never met before, who had found my profile through a listing of some sort. We had casual chats for a couple weeks before we started getting to know each other better. He was a nice guy, kind of nerdy, sweet. It was close to Christmas and he said he was alone and away from his family, so he was volunteering at a soup kitchen on Christmas Day. He ended up driving 3 hours to meet me on Boxing Day, spent the night and we cuddled, which turned into amazing sex and started to come see me regularly, surprising me on occasion. I gradually found out some things he was hiding – like the fact that he had a daughter and that he “had been” married to her mom, but was in the process of divorcing her. On a hunch, I looked up his “ex-wife” on Facebook to find that they were still very happily married and when he decided to “figure things out” he had gone home to beg back the wife and child he had kicked out, thinking we were going to be together instead. What a gem.
