\u00a0The woman complained that her husband-to-be had been hiding a very unpleasant thing from her, and she revealed it right before their special day. Her story proves that sometimes the past of our significant ones does matter, especially when we find out that there was something we should\u2019ve been aware of, but the truth was hidden from us carefully.\n

The woman was happy in\u00a0her relationship with her fianc\u00e9.\n\n

A\u00a0woman named Laura, 37, wrote\u00a0us a\u00a0letter and shared her personal story, that might resonate with many people who\u2019re in\u00a0a\u00a0relationship. Laura opened her letter, saying, that she and her fianc\u00e9 Mike have been\u00a0dating\u00a0for a\u00a0long period of\u00a0time already. Recently, Mike proposed to\u00a0Laura and she was over the moon with happiness.\n
Laura revealed, \u00abI\u00a0have been dating Mike, a\u00a0divorced man with two kids, for five years. Our relationship has always been what people call \u2019mature\u2019, without any unnecessary drama and overload of\u00a0emotions. We\u00a0both already know what we\u00a0want from life and from each other, and we\u2019re both working hard on\u00a0our relationship to\u00a0be\u00a0healthy and smooth.
\nWhen Mike proposed to\u00a0me, I\u00a0was very happy. I\u2019ve never been\u00a0married\u00a0in\u00a0my\u00a0life, and I\u2019ve never had a\u00a0life goal to\u00a0be\u00a0married this way or\u00a0that, but Mike was an\u00a0ideal partner for me\u00a0and\u00a0I knew\u00a0I would be\u00a0very safe and comfortable with him.\u00bb\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n
Laura added, \u00abI\u00a0have never been in\u00a0love with Mike. I\u00a0mean, I\u00a0did have a\u00a0huge respect for this man and\u00a0I didn\u2019t love him the way many people would imagine, but in\u00a0our relationship the romantic side wasn\u2019t a\u00a0must, it\u00a0was a\u00a0partnership grounded on\u00a0mutual trust and the feeling of\u00a0solid future that we\u00a0gave each other. This has always been enough for both of\u00a0us.\u00bb\n\n
\n
Mike has never betrayed Laura\u2019s trust, up\u00a0until one day.\n\n

Laura goes on\u00a0with her story, saying that Mike has never lied to\u00a0her. His relationship with his ex-wife has always been an\u00a0open book for Laura. She knew that they met occasionally and discussed their parenting issues. There was nothing to\u00a0worry about regarding Mike\u2019s former relationship. But one day, everything changed for Laura.\n
The woman wrote, \u00abMike started to\u00a0come home very late. It\u00a0had lasted for over 2,5\u00a0months. He\u00a0always explained that he\u00a0had a\u00a0heavy workload and that the new project he\u00a0was working on\u00a0demanded more time and effort from him than usual. At\u00a0first, I\u00a0believed him, but then, I\u00a0met one of\u00a0his coworkers in\u00a0a\u00a0grocery store. This coworker used to\u00a0come to\u00a0our place once or\u00a0twice, and\u00a0I recognized him in\u00a0the store and even stopped for a\u00a0quick polite chat.
\nWe spoke to each other casually, and I mentioned that their new project must have been very hard for both Mike and him. Then I got an unexpected reply that they closed this project a month ago and even had a nice celebration on the occasion of this project being closed. Mike and his coworker have been working in their usual mode since then, and there were no other factors that would make Mike stay late in the office. He was lying to me all this time.\u00bb\n\n

Laura confronted Mike, but to\u00a0no\u00a0avail.\n\n

After the talk with Mike\u2019s colleague, Laura decided not to\u00a0beat about the bush and confronted Mike straight away. The woman said, \u00abI\u00a0just asked him to\u00a0sit and talk to\u00a0me, I\u00a0told him that\u00a0I knew he\u00a0was coming late, not because of\u00a0that project. Mike looked me\u00a0straight in\u00a0the eye and said that yes, he\u00a0was lying to\u00a0me\u00a0all this time. But he\u00a0was doing it\u00a0for the sake of\u00a0our relationship.
\nHe\u00a0said that he\u00a0had arranged some extra work for himself and all he\u00a0wanted was to\u00a0earn extra money and then spend it\u00a0on\u00a0a\u00a0special wedding gift for\u00a0me. So, basically, he\u00a0was planning some surprise for me\u00a0and was trying to\u00a0earn some more for making this happen.\u00bb\n
Laura revealed that she had a\u00a0gut feeling that Mike was lying again. But she pretended that she believed him. She said, \u00abI\u00a0felt that he\u00a0was lying, I\u00a0didn\u2019t have any evidence that he\u00a0might have been cheating, or\u00a0something of\u00a0a\u00a0kind, but\u00a0I just felt that all these excuses about the wedding present and the extra work were mere nonsense, I\u00a0just couldn\u2019t prove\u00a0it, so\u00a0I decided to\u00a0let it\u00a0slip.\u00bb\n\n

The truth was revealed accidentally, when no\u00a0one expected\u00a0it.\n\n

Laura goes on\u00a0with her story, saying, \u00abThis year, on\u00a0his daughter\u2019s birthday, we\u00a0went to\u00a0drop her off at\u00a0his mom\u2019s house. I\u00a0hadn\u2019t been there before, as\u00a0Mike\u2019s mom isn\u2019t a\u00a0very hospitable person. This time, however, everything was different, to\u00a0my\u00a0surprise. I\u00a0was invited in\u00a0to\u00a0look at\u00a0the presents that Mike\u2019s daughter got from her mom and grandmother. My\u00a0heart sank when\u00a0I noticed that, on\u00a0all the walls in\u00a0the house, there were pictures of\u00a0Mike and his ex-wife taken on\u00a0their wedding day, as\u00a0well as\u00a0other\u00a0family\u00a0and baby pictures.\u00bb\n
Laura was overwhelmed, because she thought Mike wasn\u2019t so\u00a0much into the memories about his former\u00a0marriage. But then, she noticed one more photo that put her into a\u00a0huge shock, disappointment and despair. Laura wrote, \u00abThere was one very fresh photo on\u00a0the wall in\u00a0his mom\u2019s hall. It\u00a0had a\u00a0date on\u00a0it, and it\u00a0was the date when Mike started his \u2019project\u2019 at\u00a0work. The photo was of\u00a0him and his ex-wife, kissing. Turns out, he\u00a0had been meeting her secretly all this time, and they were in\u00a0a\u00a0romantic relationship together. His mom knew about\u00a0it, and it\u00a0was her initiative to\u00a0print this photo and hang it\u00a0on\u00a0the wall.\u00bb\n
Laura concluded, \u00abYou can ask me\u00a0why Mike proposed to\u00a0me\u00a0if\u00a0he\u00a0had such deep feelings for his ex-wife. Well, the truth was that Mike and his ex-wife just didn\u2019t want to\u00a0get married again, but they did have feelings for each other. So, I\u00a0was supposed to\u00a0be\u00a0some kind of \u2019wife on\u00a0the paper\u2019, because it\u00a0was convenient for Mike. And his ex\u00a0would rip the benefits of\u00a0his sincere feelings and attitude. All of\u00a0this\u00a0I found out from Mike, after\u00a0I made a\u00a0huge scandal about these photos and all.\u00bb\n
Laura wrote that she canceled her wedding and Mike just couldn\u2019t understand why she did\u00a0it. In\u00a0his opinion, they had an\u00a0ideal relationship and his affair with his ex\u00a0didn\u2019t have an\u00a0impact on\u00a0it\u00a0in\u00a0any way. But Laura confessed, \u00abI\u00a0suddenly realized that\u00a0I fell in\u00a0love with Mike. Truly and sincerely. And his affair hurt much, as\u00a0well as\u00a0his lies. So, my\u00a0decision to\u00a0cut it\u00a0off was painful, but I\u2019d rather spend some time moaning over my\u00a0unhappy romance than spend the rest of\u00a0my\u00a0life with a\u00a0cheater and a\u00a0liar like Mike.\u00bb\n
