Dramas and movies often feature spectacular love stories, but in real life, have you heard of truly shocking romantic incidents? A user on Ptt’s relationship forum posted asking “Have you met the most absurd love story of your life?” In his post, he describes his past eight years of romantic history, whose absurdity level left other users not knowing how to comfort him!
This user says that all his close friends knew he had a girlfriend studying in America because they frequently posted couple photos on Facebook, and friends envied them. The story began in 2008 when he was in his fourth year of university (taking an extra semester), and his girlfriend was in graduate school. They didn’t know each other long before deciding to date.
💔 Long-Distance Romance and False Breakup-Reconciliation
- 2009: The user graduated and prepared for military service, visiting his girlfriend in Pingtung every weekend, secretly staying in her dorm.
- 2010: After discharge, to stay close to his girlfriend, he left his hometown Yilan and moved to Taichung for work. His girlfriend was still studying in Pingtung, and they took turns visiting each other.
- 2011: His girlfriend said that after graduation, her parents asked her to study in America, which he naively believed.
- 2012: The user thought his girlfriend was in America but was always frustrated about why they couldn’t video call or phone, only chatting on Facebook. His girlfriend always said she was busy and tired, spending all her time in the library, so they didn’t see each other for over a year.
- Chinese New Year 2013: When his girlfriend returned to Taiwan for New Year, the user felt the relationship had cooled. After staying one night at her place, when he dropped her off at the station, he took the initiative to break up.
🔄 Reconciliation and Endless Lies
After that, the user dated a new girlfriend, but when his ex found out, she came crying from Kaohsiung to Yilan to find him, and he gave in and agreed to reconcile. After reconciliation, their relationship heated up rapidly, with them meeting in Taipei every weekend.
- June 2013: His girlfriend again said she needed to return to America to complete her studies.
- September 2013: But his girlfriend secretly teamed up with his friends to surprise him with a birthday party! He thought his girlfriend had specially flown back from America and was deeply moved. Two days later, she said she needed to return to America, and he believed her again!
- End 2013: His girlfriend said she’d return from America to spend New Year with him, but on January 1st she said she needed to go back to America immediately.
- February 2014: His girlfriend suddenly proposed a breakup with him.
- 2014: They didn’t see each other, but his girlfriend always knew he was waiting for her.
- His birthday 2015: His girlfriend came begging to reconcile, and they were back to being affectionate. The user planned to propose but his girlfriend refused with the excuse that she couldn’t have children! The user said: “I told her I accepted her and didn’t mind not having children! But she just refused to agree, saying I’d wait for the day she’d accept!” The user naively waited and waited.
😱 Eight Years of Lies Exposed: The Second Facebook
The foolish user kept waiting until early March 2016 when he found her ‘another Facebook account’ from her sister’s Facebook, and gradually uncovered all her secrets.
It turned out that during the time when his girlfriend lied about studying in America, during their time without contact, she had already married and had a child!
| Timeline | Event | Relationship with User |
|---|---|---|
| High School 2nd year | Dating ‘husband’ | User knew girlfriend at that time |
| 2008 | Dating user | Husband happened to be on military service, avoiding timeline overlap |
| October 2011 | Got engaged | User was deceived with ‘going to America to study’ |
| February 2012 | Got married | User was deceived with ‘in America library studying,’ hadn’t seen each other for a year |
| 2014 | Pregnant; gave birth to daughter in November | User was deceived with ‘breakup,’ but he was still waiting |
| Truth: | Never went to America | Always lived in Kaohsiung |
He found photos on Facebook of his girlfriend’s entire family outings and her pregnancy progress, her daughter’s birth and growth… She had never gone to America at all and had been living in Kaohsiung the whole time! He later discovered that his girlfriend had two Facebook accounts—one managing his friend group where she’d download photos from overseas friends’ pages and post them to let the user and his friends think she was abroad!
“She would only appear when I started knowing new people and dating new girlfriends, which made me feel like I had hope again. Because I felt like we were about to get married anyway, or perhaps I was just used to her!” the user sadly lamented. “I really loved her and was always waiting for her! That’s how I was deceived for 8 years! My life just passed by, now I’m 30 years old!” He said if he had found a good partner and married back then, his child would be who-knows-how-old by now!
💬 Netizens Shocked and Commented
Other users hearing his experience were deeply shocked, saying this girlfriend was capable of playing two people at once, basically reaching spy-level tactics! Some users applied their armchair detective skills and found the original poster’s Facebook, discovering he indeed posted matching content during the periods he described, making people exclaim how absurd it truly was!
Everyone couldn’t help but comment:
- “Should the military consider recruiting this woman as a spy?”
- “Why didn’t you go pick her up at the airport or send her off at the gate?”
- “Lost both emotionally and financially; I don’t know what to say to comfort you!”
Finally, this man’s Facebook was also discovered by internet detectives, yet people were shocked saying: “Didn’t expect her to look so ordinary and well-behaved, yet she’d do such things!?” and “The real victim should be her husband!” The original poster could only post hoping people would stop investigating the other party, but surely he also already was at a loss for words!
