Dude I've been talking to/sleeping with for about a month. Was actually considering deleting dating apps and seeing him exclusively. Just figured out he's married.
So, we met via Tinder. You have to have a Facebook to have Tinder.
I'm not the type to immediately try to be Facebook friends with someone I'm banging, but I was curious, so I looked him up and didn't find anything, which struck me as odd, so I logged into the fakeo account I made when sleuthing the last dude that did this to me and looked him up again. Tadaaa. There he was. So many coupley photos, very recent. Has been married since 2011.
The best part about it is the other day I jokingly made a comment that he seemed too normal, so he must have a secret wife or family squirreled away somewhere. So goddamned accurate.
What the actual fuck? I am so sorry. How did he get away with this for a month?
Like, we both had really crazy work schedules, so we've mostly been hanging out in the mornings before work and some weekends. That didn't seem off to me.
From what it looks like his wife is in the military as well, so I assume his availability on the weekend was dependent on her being on duty/working.

Unfortunately, I think you have to "snoop" before starting the relationship. I met my SO online and after our first date I basically looked up his life story online. May be creepy, but I've seen so many of my friends get burned by liars
Yeah, it's time to get into the habit of doing some light sleuthing before you get too involved. I'm sorry that is so incredibly sucky.
I did originally. Typically once I have someone's phone number I'll look them up on Facebook with the find contacts feature thing. His didn't pull up with that and I didn't know his last name at that point so I dropped it. Didn't follow through again until now.

How come you could see him under the fake account but not your real one?
I'm sorry what a dirtbag. Did you tell him you know?
I figure he must've blocked me on Facebook right after we met because I was searching the same things
And yes, I did tell him I know. No response, but I guess that's not surprising.
I shit you not, verycontrary247, just tonight I found out a guy that I've been seeing and sleeping with for several weeks has a long term girlfriend. I am so ready to quit dating.
When I was doing the online dating thing several years ago, I met a guy in the military who supposedly wasn't married. We just met a couple times at lunch and he seemed very interested. But he made it abundantly clear we couldn't talk on weekends because that's when he "he need to focus on his kids on the weekend". It started feeling really suspicious to me so I just broke it off. This was before I was into FB.

I wonder if it is my BIL you were seeing! I need to do some more investigating but we are more than positive he has a gf somewhere. Are you in GA by any chance?
What a fucking piece of shit. I hate him for you and for his wife.
I'm sorry, that hurts. I agree with more sleuthing. I don't have more advice, but it's not you, it's him. I agree with mp that figuring out what is the common grounds between him and other assholes might help you identify them better.
