25 years of lies

Submitted by Luanne Ness (United States), Jul 26, 2008 at 18:33

I have know this person since he was in the US going to college. He lied while he was here and for the past 25 years about his life. We did have a relationship while he was here in school but then when he left to return home, we remained friends. Just by chance I found out that two of his children (with his wife in his country) were born while he was here going to school. We have corresponded and even seen each other since he left to return home. When I found out about the children and their ages, other things did not add up and I started to question the real truth. Boy did I find out a lot from mutual friends.

As I said, I am done and will no longer allow him to do this to me.
