My girlfriend, 22, and I have been together for just under a year. She’s amazing, and I love her so much. Two months ago, I met her family for the first time, and it was a SHOCK.😳

Her parents came out to greet us, and her mom and I almost FAINTED.

I KNEW HER MOM. She’s the one I had an AFFAIR with two years ago.

Turned out, I had been sleeping with a single mom, and now I’m with her daughter. Her parents have been married for 20 years. I realized I had been a married woman’s boy toy, and I felt incredibly ashamed.😓

Later that week, her mom found my number and told me that I could never speak of what happened. She said that my girlfriend would hate me forever because I’d be the one who broke up her parents. So now I’m STUCK keeping this secret. Every family dinner, every time my girlfriend mentions her mom, my guilt eats away at me.😰

I decided to talk to her mom privately, hoping to find a solution. “We can’t keep this secret forever,” I said. She insisted, “You have to, for everyone’s sake.” I’m torn. Do I tell my girlfriend the truth, risking our relationship and her family’s stability, or do I keep quiet and live with the guilt? Every day, the weight of this secret grows heavier.
