- A man discovers his girlfriend lied about her age, claiming to be 27 when she was actually 48, revealing a major relationship red flag that emerged after four long years, a discovery that took him by surprise after 4 years.
- He found her real age and a photo of a pregnancy test while checking her laptop after years of suspicious behavior, finally unveiling the truth after 4 years.
- Reddit users urged him to leave, calling the long deception disturbing and warning him about deeper secrets that could surface after four years of living in deceit.
A 26-year-old man recently discovered a shocking truth. The woman he had dated for four years wasn’t 27 like she claimed. She was actually 48 years old. He shared the story on Reddit, where many users reacted with disbelief. The man said she always told him she was born in April 1998. But while checking her laptop, he found a photo of her passport. That document revealed her real birth year—1977. He couldn’t believe it. For four years, she convinced him she was twenty years younger.
Girlfriend Refused to Show ID and Made Excuses
The man said he never had a reason to suspect anything. She looked young. She acted like someone in her twenties. But now he sees there were signs that became clear after four years of deception. He admitted it was his first long-term relationship, so he ignored the red flags. She always avoided showing any form of ID. Every time he asked, she gave silly excuses or changed the topic. After 4 years, he wanted to trust her, so he let it go. Looking back, he says he should have insisted. Her constant dodging should have raised questions.
Friends Were Older and She Focused Too Much on Looks
He also noticed that her friends didn’t match her claimed age. Most of them were much older. He said she was obsessed with looking good and spent a lot of time on her appearance. That didn’t seem strange to him back then. Now, it makes more sense after 4 years of observing her behavior. Her effort to look young hid the truth. He didn’t connect the dots because she looked the part. Her looks helped cover up the lie.
He Found a Photo of a Positive Pregnancy Test
While going through her laptop, he found something else that shocked him. He saw a photo of a positive pregnancy test. The picture had a date on it. It was taken just two months before they met, implying the lie continued after meeting him. He had no idea about this. He said he doesn’t know what happened with the pregnancy. She never told him about it. He found the photo by accident. He felt even more confused and betrayed after that.
Reddit Users Urged Him to End the Relationship
Many people on Reddit told him to break up with her. They said the relationship was based on lies lasting after four years of trust. One person commented, “She lied for four years. What else is she hiding?” Another said, “That much deception shows she can’t be trusted.” A third person wrote, “This is scary. To lie for that long takes serious planning. That’s not normal.” Some even called her behavior dangerous. They warned him not to stay in the relationship any longer.
Some Users Said She Looked Young Enough to Fool Anyone
Other Reddit users looked at the photos on his profile. They said she did look 27. One person wrote, “If she told me she was 27, I’d believe her too.” They didn’t blame him for falling for the lie over four years. Her appearance and the facade she maintained after 4 years fooled many. The man said he felt embarrassed, but also heartbroken. He said he truly believed she was honest. He never imagined someone would lie about their age for so long.
She Claimed a Difficult Childhood to Avoid Questions
When people asked why she never shared personal details, the man gave more information. She told him she had a hard childhood. Her parents didn’t raise her. Her grandfather took care of her. She claimed she didn’t talk to her family. She said she had no pictures of them. Every time he asked, she gave vague answers. After four years, she always had a reason to avoid showing photos or documents. He accepted those reasons because he cared about her. Now, he believes she made it all up to cover her lies.
Man Feels Betrayed and Unsure What to Do Next
The man said he feels hurt and confused. He doesn’t know what to believe anymore after 4 years of lies. For four years, he thought he knew her. But now, he questions everything. He trusted her completely. But she lied about something so basic. He also wonders if there are more secrets. Many Reddit users supported him. They told him to walk away and find someone honest. They said no one deserves to be lied to like that.
