“He told me right after our honeymoon that he was only pretending to like the things I liked.
We had no real common interests.”
The thread quickly filled with hundreds of revelations and betrayals.
Here are some of the wildest stories people shared:
1.
“He told me he was in the military.
I had recently enlisted in the Army when I met him out one night.
He told me he was a Marine veteran, and thats how we started talking.
He told me stories about his time overseas and how he still keeps in touch with his military buddies.
He fabricated the whole thing.
He would constantly ask for military discounts and tell elaborate war stories to people while wearing old military clothes.
He started yelling at me when I confronted him about all the lies.
We are now divorced.”

“My best friend was engaged for a year (and was with the guy for five years).
He couldn’t bring himself to do it, so he left after they did.”
He told her it was all true, and he still thinks about killing his ex-wife.
She ended that relationship quickly and got a restraining order.
Thankfully, he moved out of state shortly after, so she’s probably safe."

He screwed over financial partners in Miami, and they were out for blood.
His brother’s kids were actually his because he’d had sex with his sister-in-law."
Oh, and that he liked to meet random men for sex but was apparently only a ‘receiver.’
He was a pathological liar.
No residual trust issues here, lol."

I had to warn her dad it was better for him just to sit there and listen.

“That 90% of everything he told me about his past and life was a lie.
I was pregnant with my second child when a conversation with my mother-in-law revealed they never lived in Texas.
I started asking her more questions and figured out I had been completely catfished by this man.
He was 21 and I was 16 when we started dating.

In a bizarre twist, he also feigns incompetence in ‘traditionally masculine’ activities, too.
He has a lot of other redeeming qualities, but its uh, problematic.”

“My wife didnt tell me how loaded her family was.
The obnoxious: We are definitely seen as the ‘poor ones’ of the family.
It doesnt matter that Im self-made and worked my way from a blue-collar background to a $150,000/year job.
They all still act like were a charity case, my wife included.”

“My first husband and I weren’t quite married yet, but we were close.
When we met, he was nearly 30, and I had just turned 23.
His unusual nervousness and awkwardness those first few months finally made sense.

As soon as she graduated, she blindsided me with divorce and left with my dog.
I really miss my dog, but my ex can burn.

20.“Sleepwalking.
I had no idea until she woke me up in a panic about tags for shoes.
She had just started a second job in a shoe sports store.
I spent a minute looking in the bed for tags before figuring out something was weird.
Now, after 27 years, I know to direct her back to bed gently.
