I met someone a few years ago while she was stuck in a dead relationship. She broke up with him to be with me. But a year later I came across posts of her getting engaged to him only to realize they had never truly broken up.
We went no contact for a few months until she reached out saying she had made a mistake ended the engagement and begged for another chance. I gave in and we tried again for about a year. Then the most surreal experience happened: I saw posts of her in a wedding dress with him even while she was still spending time with me. On top of that she had lied about where she lived — she was actually living with him. That’s when I cut off communication for a while.
Recently though I reached out because I couldn’t find closure. I know it shows weakness but I had to confront her with everything I discovered. She didn’t deny it and admitted that’s how things were. She told me she doesn’t love him but stays because it feels safe and secure — while insisting that she truly loves me.
We’ve agreed to meet soon exchange our belongings and finally say goodbye.

she says she loves you but stays for safety, what part of you still wants to believe that’s enough for you
just run away and take care of yourself. ❤️ sorry
meeting to exchange things and say goodbye sounds painful, but also like a line in the sand.
i was the “secret second life” too. promises, love words, meanwhile they were building a whole future with someone else. that double reality messes you up in ways people don’t see
