Starting point is 00:00:00 I hope you enjoy this story. My betrothed covertly asked his former partner to attend our marriage celebration. Later on, I discovered that he maintained five fabricated online profiles to monitor her, and was fixated on ensuring that she remained chaste. Rejecting him. I, 23F, am getting married in January and just found out my fiancé, Mark, 25M, fake name, invited his old situation ship to our wedding without consulting me. For context, me and Mark met on a dating app two years ago after he broke up a relationship.
Starting point is 00:00:35 To be honest, it's quite confusing what he and Tracy, 22F, had. They met because of a mutual friend and started to develop feelings for each other. Mark told me they never dated and slept together, but it was more than friendship. Until today he keeps her love letters, gifts, and talks about her. Tracy and him tried to stay in contact after the breakup, staying friends, but she ghosted him after finding out we started to date. From what I saw in her social media, she's in a relationship, so I'm not worried about her trying to get with my fiancé again.
Starting point is 00:01:10 They haven't been in contact for two years, but he still has her number and email. I found out about him inviting her after I checked again our guest list and finding her name. I know Tracy is not a threat to our relationship, but Mark inviting her behind my back makes me feel bad about our whole wedding. He told me he doesn't feel anything for her, yet he made sure to send her an invitation. This is probably me being insecure, but my fear of him not getting over her is slowly creeping inside my heart. I don't want to lose him. Comments where OPP has replied, commenter one, he's probably not over her, especially since they were never a thing. For him, she might be the one
Starting point is 00:01:50 that got away. If I were OPP, I would have a very serious talk with him. O-O-P, I don't get why he is not over her especially if they were never a thing. From what Mark told me, he was the one who didn't want a relationship since Tracy just started life. Comment her too, he went behind you back to invite someone whose love letters he's kept. The fact he didn't talk to you about it is A. If having her there is more important to him than you being comfortable at your own wedding than you might need to postpone the wedding. She might not be a threat to your relationship, but it sounds like your fiancé's feelings are a threat.
Starting point is 00:02:26 OOP, I don't know why he is not over her even after two years of no contact. I know Tracy is part of his past, his story, but it's been such a long time. Commenter three, tell him you don't want her there and that's final and he better rescinded or you'll have to rethink the marriage because starting a married life by going behind your back is a no-no. Tbh you need to not stubbornly hold on to someone you can't trust, and you can't trust someone who does shit behind your back. OOP, her going to the wedding doesn't make me uncomfortable since I know she won't do anything.
Starting point is 00:03:00 The problem is my fiancé and the fact he invited her to the wedding without notifying me. If Mark wanted her there, fine. But I just hate the fact he didn't told me beforehand and it's making me think he lied about getting over her. Comment her four, why do you keep saying I know she won't do anything? If you can't trust him not to do anything with an old fling you should not be getting married. OOP, Tracy has a boyfriend and is expecting. Also, she was the one who blocked him everywhere after finding out we were dating. Update 1, October 19th, 2024.
Starting point is 00:03:36 After reading the comments and talking with some friends, my heart finally understood Mark never really got over Tracy. In the beginning, I was in denial, but I went out with Tom, 24M, his best friend of years to understand about what really happened between them. From what he told me, Tracy and Mark met because of some friends in common. She just got into the university and was 17 at the time, while Mark was already almost graduating. They stayed friend for two years and feelings started to blossom. Mark was already working while she was still in college. He only wanted to formally date her after her graduation, so it was never a thing, even though they shared love letters, gifts and shared almost every holiday together. Tom told me everyone from their old friend group thought they would
Starting point is 00:04:22 marry since they were so sweet together. So, their breakup was really unpredictable. Tracy was the one who broke up with Mark due to their religious values not lining up, as she wanted to save herself until marriage. In the end, they decided it was better to go separate ways and maybe try again after a few years. But after me and Mark started to date, Tracy realized that it was pointless to wait for him and started to see other people too, so she blocked in everything, except email just to have a clean beginning. In the end, I finally realized Mark is just hopeful that Tracy would come back to him due to their talks of trying again after a while. It honestly hurts so much, as I loved him so much. I still didn't confronted him since I'm still shaken up, but I don't know if this marriage will
Starting point is 00:05:09 happen. I am going to update once I calm down and confront him. Update 2. October 20, October 20, 25th, 24. It's been a while since the last update and I'm here to announce the wedding has been called off. My parents are the one canceling everything for me. It's like I returned to my childhood when mom and dad had to solve my problems. I confronted Mark after talking with Tom and made him aware of everything I'd been dealing. His reaction at the beginning was dismissive and was almost as if he was trying to escape from this situation. In the end, Mark said he never loved someone like Tracy because it was pure and innocent. She reminded him that not everything is about carnal desire and in the darkest moments of his life, Tracy was like a sunlight. Hearing the man you
Starting point is 00:05:56 love admitting how much he loved another woman is so hurtful. During the talk, I started to cry, bawling my eyes out. Mark had the audacity to say he loves me, but it's a different kind of love. I asked why he invited her to our wedding and he was speechless. Why he had to throw away. He away our future for something in the past. This hurts so much. Mark told me he knew Tracy didn't blocked him on email, since he was the one who helped her get her first job and a lot of professional stuff was also involved. This is how he was able to send her our wedding invitation, but he meant no harm. When I asked what he meant with this, Mark just said he wanted to make her watch us together and realize what she lost because he was hurt that Tracy was pregnant and not
Starting point is 00:06:40 married. The moment Mark mentioned about Tracy's pregnancy, a red alarm started to echo in my head. How did you know about her pregnancy? You said she blocked you everywhere. I could see panic in his eyes as he started to stutter. In the end, I made him give me his phone and I found out more than five accounts to stalk Tracy. My stomach felt sick and the urge to vomit was overwhelming. In the end, I decided to call off the engagement since he was a creep. Mark threw himself on the floor asking for forgiveness and he loves me, just in a different way compared to Tracy and was just hurt that she gave herself to another man while he begged her countless times for sex. This made me feel even more disgusted with him because he felt entitled
Starting point is 00:07:25 to her virginity and body. I left without taking even a bag with me. Everything is just too much. I can't believe I spent two years loving a stalker, a man-child. Oh, I also told Tracy everything in his accounts. I don't know if she saw my messages, but I hope she does. The jealousy I once felt for her transformed into pity as no woman should go through what Mark has done. Mark wants to meet up with me and doesn't want to break up, but I'm just so tired. Update 3, October 26, 2024. I think this is my last update.
Starting point is 00:08:02 since I've already met up with Tracy and talked about what happened. Me and her met at a cafe and in the beginning I was really nervous, as I didn't know what was her reaction because her reply was only high, let's talk over a cup of coffee. When I was waiting for her, I could feel my back sweating and overall, lots of emotion. Tracy arrived and I finally understood why Mark was so obsessed with her as she is definitely one of the most beautiful women I saw. She's pretty on the pictures, but personally she looks better.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Tracy said hello to me and asked if I'm willing to go to her house to talk. Since being outside for too long makes her really tired. We ordered some coffee to go and it was super awkward. So now let's talk about what she told me. First of all, she apologized for being the reason why now I'm single which I assured her is not her fault. Tracy said she received the invitation, but was simply not interested in participating in our wedding as she was already in a happy relationship and is pointless to see a person from the past. With the story Tom and Mark told me, I got curious and asked about them staying friends as it sounded like she wanted to stay with him after the breakup and it's the polar
Starting point is 00:09:11 opposite of her behavior. Tracy was extremely uncomfortable with this question, but still explained to me why she said that. In the beginning, she was really in love with Mark because he was her first love. She described him as a protector, someone trustworthy, handsome and kind as he always showered her in gifts and travels. Everything was fine and sweet, but over time, Mark started to beg her for sex so much to the point of her pretending to be sick just to avoid him. She just didn't want to sleep with him and had some sort of blockage, like a sixth sense telling her to not do this.
Starting point is 00:09:47 She was sick and tired about all of this and used the fact that her parents are extremely religious to justify why sex was off the chart. This lead to a fight, which Mark never told me and them breaking up. But two weeks after, they started to talk again as she felt in debt with him as he helped her get a job in a prestigious company and he spent a lot of money on her with trips, foods, and presents. One of the gifts was a Rolex for her 18th birthday, which made me mad since he never spent so much money on me.
Starting point is 00:10:16 So when Tracy found out me and Mark was seeing each other, she felt relieved and finally had a proper reason to block him everywhere since he was still sometimes hinting about them sleeping together. In the end, I told her in the entire relationship. Mark would sometimes talk about her and in the beginning it was kind of weird, but I just brushed it off since she was part of his story. Oh, I also talked about Mark's numerous accounts and in the beginning she didn't believe me. But I showed her the accounts I knew, which was creepy since they all had female names, followers, and pictures. All of them looked real. Her account
Starting point is 00:10:51 is public, so I asked Tracy to make it private. She made a new account with her Korean name and deactivated the old one. We had fun and became friends. She is a really sweet person and I saw how her boyfriend treated her like a queen. I'm happy she found love and got rid of Mark. Comments were O.P. has replied, commenter one, sounds like everyone dodged the bullet that was OOP. It wasn't a bullet. It was a nuclear bomb commenter too. I really hope she takes Mark stalking seriously. It's very alarming the stuff he has been doing. I'm generally. I'm generally, genuinely afraid for this woman. He's become obsessive and that can't lead to anything good, especially if he starts spiraling after your breakup. Commenter 3, I'm so glad you told her.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Pregnant women with crazy stalkers get killed at an alarming rate. I can't imagine how awkward and awful and difficult that whole situation and conversation must have been for you. I'm really proud of you for talking to her and showing her all their accounts so she could protect herself and have all the information. Now, at least whatever else she chooses to do and whatever else happens, you know you've done what you could to protect another vulnerable woman. That speaks huge volumes to character and personality and general grace slash class overall. You are going to find someone amazing who truly loves you and matches that upbeat, dignified and character-driven vibe you have to the best benefit. Smile, I just know it. I hope you post an update on three years madly in love
Starting point is 00:12:24 and hugely successful. Smile next story. Husband and I agreed to have a threesome with our friend. During it, he got jealous and stormed out because I was having too much fun. My husband and I have been together eight years and married for three. We have an active sex life and had a very good romantic relationship. In the past month and a half, we have been talking about opening the relationship to be able to experience things together. I have only known him, and he has had other experiences. We have very close friends who have an open relationships for their entire friendship and we're in the talks of doing something together with our female friend. We have spent a very long time talking about how we only want this to be physical and not emotional. We set up rules
Starting point is 00:13:10 and made sure that if we proceed with this, we must be very open and communicate everything. After a lot of back and forth and prep, we have decided we do want to go forward with this and plan to get together one of these days since we are in a different state. We traveled yesterday to visit our friends and see family. He did not mention anything about doing things today with said friends, and I expect it today to just be a very platonic get-together. Towards 11.30 p.m., he told me he wanted to do things with her, and very shortly after that she pulled me to the side to let me know that my husband
Starting point is 00:13:42 expressed that to her. I did not want to be involved at first since one. He did not state that it was a three-way and two, I was exhausted. Fast forward, after some truth or dare exercises, I got involved and it was great. I went to shower quickly in prep, while they continued alone and by the time I came back he got off and they were waiting for me. We continued and it was honestly fun. Sometime after I got off, he just stared at us, ignored our calls for an invitation, and he just left the house. My friend and I quickly got dressed and we ran out to follow,
Starting point is 00:14:18 confused. He was expressing how he was feeling insecure and jealous and that it completely killed his mood. Without going into extreme detail, we asked our friend to give us space, and my husband basically said he didn't like seeing me in that situation and that the sex was unfair. It was 2 a.m. by this point and I didn't want to look insane arguing outside, so after some back and forth I told him we can continue inside. He explained that he felt bad once he saw that she was going down on me and I was having fun. He let it bottle up and instead of saying anything, he just walked out. At first I was trying to understand and try and talk about this more until my friend mentioned that they talked about this prior and that she thought he would be okay. I was very confused
Starting point is 00:15:02 because I thought this was a last-minute thing. Turns out he has been sexting her and talking to her about this for a month, all while telling her that I knew. She was very open and handed me her phone and showed me all the texts and messages where she reiterates that I need to be told slash made aware slash be okay with it and he always told her I was good with it. This is where it all went to shit. He has been lying to all of us, he has been keeping things secret, and worst of all he worded slash did things in a way so that I am in a position to just agree with it. I had a very serious and harsh conversation with him in front of our friends that what he did
Starting point is 00:15:37 broke all of the rules we set. I even find out he came in her during this. We were fighting until 6 a.m. I genuinely don't know if we can come back from this. It's not about the sex, it's the lying and throwing back blame to me, he does this often. Halfway through me tearing him a new one he admitted to all his faults and provided no excuses. He genuinely thought that this wasn't going to be a problem because I agreed to explore too. He also said that the sex was unfair because it felt like I was getting special service and not him. By the time I got involved he already was finished. Everything led to him basically acting out
Starting point is 00:16:17 because I got involved in the sex. He just wanted me to let him have fun but won't accept that I want to as well. He left back to our home state and I will be staying here for another two weeks. I don't even know how to feel and I have been jumping from sad to mad to nothing. I'm sorry if this isn't as detailed or if it's messy. It is missing a lot but this is the first time I am writing a post this long ever. I can provide more details and questions. I know that this stemmed from an insecurity from him. But I would like some advice on how to approach him with this and see why he genuinely thought this would be okay. How do I proceed with this? What can I do to help him understand what he did was not okay at all? Comments where Op has replied,
Starting point is 00:17:02 commenter one, I get that, but if it's supposed to be a threesome you would think she would be like hang on a second let's wait for her? Boop, she did. She kept inviting me and talking me through any anxiety. We are very close friends and trust each other 100%. He kept reassuring her that I knew, so she did not push very hard. Throughout all her messages she always brought me up and how I should know. Commenter two, I get that, but if it's supposed to be a threesome you would think she would
Starting point is 00:17:32 be like hang on a second let's wait for her? Commenter 3. For all we know he could have lied to her about that two, oh, don't worry, she wants us to get things started while she gets ready. Commenter 2, that is very possible. But it still seems weird to me as it was planned to be a threesome. Oop, we planned a threesome, but he went out of his way to ask for one-on-one behind my back. I seriously wouldn't have minded at all if he was at least honest with me. Skeptical commenter 4.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Why hadn't she spoken to you about the messages at all? within the month. If you two are such close friends. Oop, all of us are extremely close friends who have 100% trust in each other. If she told me tomorrow that she is a bird, I would ask what type of seeds are your favorite. He kept reassuring her and taking advantage of that trust. Even this were to somehow get solved, I doubt their friendship with him will remain untainted update. I wanted to just to provide some more info. One, I told him to seek therapy.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I refuse to do anything slash talk until he can get some sessions in. This way I can also have some time for myself as well as actually enjoy time visiting friends slash family. He has already signed up to some programs and is waiting for an appointment according to another mutual friend too. I really don't care about sex and am not emotionally connected to the act itself, just him. I can live the rest of my life without it. But I completely love my husband and want to bang with him three.
Starting point is 00:19:02 He was very much telling me for weeks that he was on the same page as me. We collect our nut and go. He obviously lied about that too. 4. My friend didn't even know he came in her until I rejoined and he said we were both very shocked. She is on BC and thoroughly cleaned out as much as humanely possible. 5. I tore him a new one and yelled at him nonstop for like four hours.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I just don't know if he actually understands what he did. I seriously do not care about the sex-slash sexting if he just told me about it. Six. We, friends and I, have 100,000% trust in each other. If he let them know I'm sick, they wouldn't even ask me directly, they would just start making me soups and teas. He kept reassuring her and letting her know that I was okay and aware, I was not. If there is anything else, I will update probably. Thank you all for your responses. We already had discussed this amongst friends, minus him, and mentioned most things that were
Starting point is 00:20:07 commented below but this is very soothing slash calming being able to see outsiders' opinions that match what I am feeling. I hope y'all have a good night slash day. Comments where OP has replied, comment or won, you had a good relationship. Then decided to destroy it by opening a great relationship. He was an idiot who messed it up in his own way. The OP is also an idiot who messed it up more by six. staying back with the other sex partner for another two weeks. This is only going to destroy the
Starting point is 00:20:37 relationship more. Leave the friend's house and go back to your husband and sort out the problem with the help of a therapist. Or go and stay with your parents instead of staying with the friend to have more sex. Trust me this is only going to destroy you. You will regret this action a lot and it will be too late to realize it. You can blame your husband for everything and take advantage of that blame and do it your way, but by doing that you are fooling yourself. All the best. Oop, I never stayed with them. I am visiting family and we stopped by to say hi. I only ever wanted to explore that type of sex with him. He has to see a therapist before we talk because I unfortunately discovered more. I want stoop to the same level he went to.
