farce.
a good friend of mine just happened to find out (via the internet) that the guy she’s been seeing for about two months is married. or, rather, barely divorced - but this is negligible given that they spoke about past relationships, and this one particular relationship had coincidentally been omitted from his stories.
considering the fact that for the most part, my (close) friends and i are pretty good at reading people, it never ceases to shock me when others manage to surprise us in inconceivable ways. over the last year and a half, i’ve seen people - both friends and significant others - behave in ways i never realized humans could. it’s particularly ironic when i think about how supposedly, the older you get, the better you get at dealing with the world. and here we are, late twenties, discovering things about people that we hadn’t entertained as real possibilities.
