When I first met my partner, she gave me the impression that she was deeply religious. Throughout our one-year relationship, she was living with her brother, who is a respected pastor of a local church. At first, she was reluctant to make our relationship public. She didn’t want anyone to know she was with me. It was after she secured a job in another town, that she was open for us to spend more time together freely.

As our relationship grew, she began opening up about her past. She shared stories of relationships that ended in disappointment—men who left without explanation, some who got married without her knowledge, and others who impregnated different women behind her back. In every story, she was the victim of betrayal. She told me, “I was determined never to date again until I met you.” She made me believe I was the one who convinced her to give love another chance.
I trusted her so much. I thought she was committed to me as I was to her. Imagine how I felt when I stumbled upon disturbing conversations between her and her so-called “brother” on her phone. The messages left little room for doubt.
They spoke of their intimate encounters, praised each other’s performance in bed, and arranged secret meetings. This is a man who is respected by almost everyone in town. It’s a miracle I didn’t faint. My breath came out in pants. My girlfriend? Wow!
As I read their messages, I found out that they are truly related. However, he is very close to her family. That’s why she easily referred to him as her brother. Their relationship had been going on for quite some time. They even mentioned pregnancy and termination.
The most disturbing part is that he was not the only one. Someone who claimed she swore off love was involved with a number of men, especially married ones. Whatever her reasons are, I have no idea.

When I confronted her, she vehemently denied everything. “Those messages are just a prank.” She even got angry and lashed out at me for invading her privacy. “You didn’t have any reason to snoop. Whatever you saw is not what you think.”
I didn’t believe a word she said, but I pretended to accept her explanation and let her be. Since then, I can’t see her the same way again.
Three Months After Our Breakup, He Got Married
Now, here is my problem. I know her mother. I have a close relationship with her. I want to tell her what I saw so that she will know what her daughter is doing with the man who is supposed to be her brother. This might spark a family conflict but keeping it a secret is making me feel disgusted when I think about my girlfriend.
I cringe when I think about all the intimate moments I shared with her. If I never trust a woman in my life again, she is the reason.
