Man Meets His Girlfriend’s Parents, Realizes Her Mom Is the Woman He Had Affair With

• A man started dating his girlfriend, unaware he would soon discover something shocking.
• A few months after they began dating, the girl took him to her house.
• When he saw her house, he thought she was pranking him because he had visited it two years ago while being involved with another woman.

Dating a new person comes with many surprises as one learns the other person's personality. Going on dates helps the new couple understand each other. After a few meetings, some people introduce their partners to their parents, hoping they will take their relationship to a new level.

The man in today's story was in a similar situation when the unexpected happened. He shared his story in Reddit's "TrueOffMyChest" forum, hoping he would feel better after sharing it with people online.

He shared that he had been dating his girlfriend for almost a year and thought she was amazing. He loved her and never thought visiting her house would remind him of someone he had become intimate with two years ago. He said:

"Two months ago, I met her family for the first time, and it was a shock."

What Happened at His Girlfriend's Place?

When the man saw his girlfriend's house, he realized it was the same place he had visited two years ago when he got intimate with a woman much older than him. At first, he thought his girlfriend was pranking him.

He revealed that he met a woman in her 40s while working as a trainer at a gym when he was 19. After their first interaction, the man went out with her several times because she seemed interested in him.

While they were together, the man got intimate with her a couple of times, and that's when he visited his girlfriend's house. It didn't take him much time to realize that the older woman was his girlfriend's mother.

He shared that he stopped seeing that woman after she changed her gym, saying it was wrong of her to be involved with a man much younger than him. The man never saw her again until two years later when he visited the same house with his girlfriend.

At first, the man didn't freak out much because he believed his girlfriend's mother was a single parent. He thought he went out with her because he "had a type." However, when he went inside his girlfriend's house, he was shocked to meet her parents, who had been married for about twenty years. He felt ashamed after realizing the woman had cheated on her husband with him.

"Later that week, her mom finds my number and tells me that I can never speak of what happened," the Redditor revealed. The woman said that if he told his girlfriend about it, she would later blame him for causing a rift between her parents and making them break up.

He felt "stuck" keeping a secret from his girlfriend and awkward thinking about how he would face her parents at the Thanksgiving dinner. His girlfriend had invited him to her place on Thanksgiving, and he had no option except to go there because his family lived miles away.

"So now I'm going to have to sit there at a table and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with the woman I had an affair with, her husband, and her daughter, whom I am now in love with," he said.

The Comments

After reading the man's story, many Redditors shared their opinions in the comments section. One netizen said, "The mother is certainly projecting and deflecting her guilt into you. Not your fault, my dude."

A second Redditor agreed that the man was not at fault. Curious, the user asked the man if he lived in a village because the chances of dating women from the same family were usually slim.

The man replied that he lived in a city and thought he was unlucky. A third user stated that the man was not at fault, but what happened was because of the woman's karma. She cheated on her husband, and this was how she was being punished for her wrongdoing.

What would you do if you were in the man's situation? Would you tell the girlfriend about the truth? We would love to know your thoughts on this story.
