She Unknowingly Dated A Married Man, And Now She’s Best Friends With His Wife, Who Filed For Divorce On Their Anniversary
This 31-year-old woman named Lydia is in an open relationship with her 32-year-old boyfriend Damon, and it’s an arrangement they both agreed on.
Throughout the last few years, she has seen a couple of different guys who were clear on the boundaries that she and Damon set for her to have additional romances.
One guy she ended up dating was 40-year-old Andrew, whom she met back in 2018. She’s always been reserved and uncomfortable around people she doesn’t know well, so it took her a while to feel at ease with Andrew.
When she did, she and Andrew hit it off as friends. But then, she grew attracted to Andrew, talked to Damon about it, and Damon said she was allowed to see him.
Andrew was also into her, so they started dating. Andrew mentioned he had a teen son, which she was surprised by, but she told him it was fine and that she wanted to keep seeing him.
She actually thought it was lovely to hear Andrew talk about his son, as he seemed to be a wonderful dad.
She truly had a great time with Andrew; sometimes, they would hang out and chit chat, or he would cook dinner for her.
He also was there for her when she went through a really rough patch in her life, giving her a solid source of comfort.
She ended up losing contact with Andrew, and she didn’t find that alarming. By then, Andrew’s social media accounts had been shut off or hacked on multiple occasions, so she figured he was experiencing that yet again.

On June 3rd, she got a message from a woman by the name of Xayah, and she thought she was being pranked when she read it.
Xayah provided her with the social media names Andrew went by and which she knew, before dropping a bomb: Andrew was married to her for nearly seven years.
“Not only that, he had 3 kids, not 1,” she explained. “The message continued that Xayah had found out that Andrew had been cheating on her with 5 other women (including me) and that she had messaged every person she found in his contacts.”
“Xayah offered to show me proof. After initial speculation, I responded by stating that I did not believe the information I was told. Xayah presented evidence that her statements were, indeed, true: pictures from their wedding, pictures with their kids, marriage license, etc.”
She felt like she had been run over by a car, as she had unknowingly dated a married man. She replied to Xayah that she would leave Andrew alone, thinking that’s what Xayah wanted from her.
However, she and Xayah began chatting, and they came up with a timeline of Andrew’s cheating. Andrew would tell Xayah he was spending time with a friend when he was, in fact, sleeping with her.
They sorted through Andrew’s various lies and uncovered videos he had saved privately. On Thursday of the week she became in contact with Xayah, Xayah said she was going to file for divorce, and then Andrew came to meet her in front of her home to come clean.
She wasn’t in a great place mentally over her job, and she really needed a friend, so she asked Andrew to come.
“Even though I knew one side of the truth, I genuinely had issues with this as I was once the “other woman” and swore I’d never be that again,” she said.
“And yet, here I was. While talking to Andrew, he told me he planned to make things right with his wife. I spoke to Xayah after, who told me she already had divorce papers ready to serve him. I thought it was pretty soon to have those, but she informed me she had had them for a while.”
“I asked her to keep me updated in case she needed moral support. From what I was told, she intended to have him served on their 7th anniversary, and he was none too happy when he received the papers.”
She and Xayah have since met up in real life, and after talking more, they found out that they have a ton in common. Although they met in a negative way, they’re actually now best friends!
