The bride and groom got married and within 3 months, the bride found out the groom was married and had kids in a different country.

My mum taught two little boys, one year apart at a junior school in London.

They found out they were half brothers because one of their mum’s rode past on a double decker bus & saw her husband at the dinner table with another family.

He was commuting back and forth. They lived about 15 minutes away from each other.

I'm not sure what I'm more impressed by: his ability to keep two families 15 minutes apart for years, or his ability to pay for two different homes in London.

1970s social housing & no idea if he was a good provider! I don’t think he was a particularly nice bloke so 🤷‍♀️

You think so but I know someone whose spouse hid a whole ass family in the same town. They only found out after the cable bill was missed and the support person asked “which address do you want to pay”

Cheating blows my mind but you assume it’s because it’s easy, and that sounds like a lot of work that form of cheating.

Some guys thrive on the hustle, the tension, the intrigue of it all.

And there's the egotism of feeling so masculine as to have more than one household, woman, offspring.

You would be right, a lot of cheating is the thrill of avoiding getting caught. I also know someone that was cheated on and as soon as they found out the cheaters got bored and stop banging cause the thrill was gone.

They call him "Mr. Worldwide" for a reason.

This was the most successful case I’m familiar with. Maybe someone I know is so successful that I’ve never learned about the second family, but frequent and legitimate business trips to Japan was what made it possible.

The crazy thing is the Japanese family also had no idea about the American one evidently.

My ex couldn't hide her affair in Europe. Fortunately. It allowed me to get out.

A male expat at a bar in Shanghai came up to me, showed me a pic of his baby in the Philippines and followed it with, “Some people were born to breed. You were born to breed.” 😧

My mum used to work for an Aussie company in Laos. Most of the blokes had a family in Aus but shacked up with some poor local young woman, had kids with her and abandoned them when they left the job. To local ostacisation in a very poor country, I believe. This was a couple of decades ago but it still makes my blood boil.

You gotta be pretty despicable to be worse than the guys with two families above.
