I dated two people seriously at once, because I didn’t care about their feelings, and then I fell in love with one, Sam.

Instead of letting the lie be known, I decided to pretend I had never dated the second guy, Ned. Unfortunately, one of our good mutual friends (Kevin) was scheduled to move in with me and my housemates. I told Kevin that our house didn’t pass inspection, kicking him out a few weeks before move-in and forcing him to find new housing. Meanwhile, I found a grad student in craigslist to take his place. I told my housemates that Kevin, our original future housemate, had just backed out at the last minute. I am no longer friends with Ned or Kevin, and since my housemates are mad at Kevin for “backing out”, no one has found out about my secret relationship with Ned.

I am still dating Sam.
