“I went traveling with my girlfriend of four years, met an amazing person, and we all became best friends and traveled together for four months. We even got matching tattoos as a souvenir of our amazing time.
[Plot twist]: My girlfriend cheated on me with that person we had become best friends with every night during the last week… while I was in the same room, asleep. I found out by fixing her broken phone, and the messages started coming through.” TexAg_18 / Reddit

“My sister’s boyfriend decided that he wanted to do more with his architecture skills, so he gave his two-weeks notice and moved to Haiti to help rebuild after the earthquake. They stayed together. He had bad phone service, so they mostly kept in touch through emails. He would send her long emails with photos and stories of what they were doing.
This went on for a couple of months. One off-handed tip from a co-worker and a week of sleuthing later, and it turns out he never went to Haiti. He moved to Seattle to be with his fiancée and partner of 9 years.” HouPoop / Reddit
Story 7
“I grew up in a small, tight-knit family. My dad was an only child, and my mom’s side of the family was small, so I always felt like I knew everyone.
One day, while going through old family photos, I found a picture of my dad with a man I didn’t recognize. When I asked my mom about it, she hesitated before telling me that the man was my dad’s brother, who had been estranged from the family for decades. Curious, I decided to track down my long-lost uncle. After some research, I found him and reached out.
