His hours were always different, but he’d go in almost every day. He would always tell me about his day, things he had to do at work, typical stuff.
One day I got a call from my parents saying they were worried about me. They informed me that they saw my ex, who was supposedly at work at the time, standing outside in the median of a commonly busy intersection.
He had a sign and was begging people for money.
I came to find out he had been doing that for years, never had a job the entire time we were together, and was just lazy. I was shocked at the time. Now that I backtrack, I realize I missed the warning signs. © lithium99 / Reddit

Story 9:
When my grandfather di:ed, the whole family gathered for the will reading.
We all expected my dad, the eldest son, to inherit everything. Instead, the lawyer announced that my grandfather left almost everything to a woman none of us had ever heard of. My grandmother stood up calmly and said, “Oh, that’s his other wife.”
Turns out, he had been secretly married to another woman for 30 years.
Half the family stormed out, and Thanksgiving has been awkward ever since.
Story 10:
My mom only recently found out that she doesn’t have the same father as her five siblings. My grandma told one of my aunts and swore her to secrecy. My grandma di:ed in 2005, but my mom didn’t find out until maybe two years ago.
My grandma didn’t tell my aunt his name, but he was supposedly an important person in Florida.
My mom would love to figure out who he was just to know pertinent medical information.
However, since this man is probably deceased, she wouldn’t want to bother anyone in his family, especially since they likely have no clue about the affair. © rooneygirl*** / Reddit

Story 12:
My best friend of 10 years was always talking me up, calling me her “ride or di:e.” When I got engaged, I asked her to be my maid of honor. A week before the wedding, I found out she had been secretly meeting up with my fiancé to “comfort him” through “cold feet.”
When I confronted her, she cried and said it was “just emotional chea:ting.” I kicked them both out of my life. Still wore the wedding dress for a solo photoshoot, though.
