Dating this girl (33 years old, i'm 39) in the last 6 weeks.
for context I live in a small place in Asia where a lot of travelers come and stay for a while, she is one of them.
When I first met her she told me about this male best friend she got here that came with her from back home, they were hanging a lot together and i kept seeing them at places having dinner etc. also I got a strange vibe from him that he doesn't like me.
As things got a bit more serious between us i asked her what's the deal with this dude, she told me "we tried dating each other for a bit a few years ago, it didn't work out and we just became really close friends since then" Ok cool.
Last night I came to pick her up and she seem sad, she told me that this dude was telling her this morning that he have feeling her and wants to be with her and she told him she is not interested, and they had fallen out because of that.
Later that evening I asked her more questions about this and it kind of came out from her that he was actually her boyfriend for 2 years(!)
So yeah she lied to me about that, i guess to keep from being bothered about them hanging out so much and being so close.
Besides the fact that i hate that she was bull****ing me about this, I feel like all this time I was placed in this disadvantaged place in the dynamic between the three of us, as I was the only one that wasn’t aware of the truth. this tbh makes me feel a like a fool when I look back at things during the last month.
My question as I am trying to wrap my head around this, would this a hard next for you?
