\nMy boyfriend and I always met for lunch on Wednesdays at his \u201cfavorite\u201d spot\u2014his only free time, he said. One day, I went without my phone and asked a new waitress to borrow hers to call him. His contact popped up on her phone\u2014with a photo. Turns out, they had Wednesday dinner dates. He was dating us both.<\/p>\n
\nI thought my parents were divorced. Turns out, my dad never existed. My mom got pregnant, bought a ring, changed her name, and told everyone she was married. My grandfather figured it out and told her to stop pretending.<\/p>\n
\nMy best friend moved in after her husband left her. Later, I ran into her ex and told him she was at my place. He laughed and said, \u201cYou don\u2019t know?\u201d She and my husband had been having an affair for four months. I kicked her out and filed for divorce that day.<\/p>\n
\nMy dad has a secret brother who looks just like him. I once saw him at the mall and was sure it was my dad. That\u2019s when I learned my grandfather never acknowledged this son. Now that he\u2019s gone, the family might finally accept him.<\/p>\n
\nMy best friend\u2019s mom tried to hook up with my dad\u2014our families stopped hanging out because of it. My dad later cheated on my mom with other women, blaming \u201cdepression.\u201d My mom also loved someone else before marrying my dad, but he didn\u2019t want her once she was pregnant.<\/p>\n
\nRumor is my grandma had an affair with her sister\u2019s husband and got pregnant. She gave the baby away, and a few weeks later, the baby died. I asked her once, but she dodged the question. She and her sister were never close\u2014maybe that\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
\nMonths after my mom died, my aunt told me my mom gave up a baby for adoption at 17. He tried contacting her years ago, but my aunt blocked it. I never got the chance to ask my mom about it. In her final days, she kept calling for a baby I didn\u2019t know existed. Now I understand\u2014but it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n
