Le hice catfishing a mi ex y descubrí cosas inesperadas

I didn’t know how to approach my ex and I thought that contacting him from my fake social media account was my only way para entender por qué me dejó.

I just couldn’t come to terms with the break-up.

Quería saber si se engancharía a otra enseguida o si aún no me había superado. La ruptura me dejó la cabeza llena de preguntas y lo peor es que quería que volviera.

As it turns out, this wasn’t one of my best or most sane ideas. I found out some unexpected and unpleasant things.

Por experiencia propia, hacer catfishing a tu ex nunca es la forma correcta de reconciliarse o averiguar el verdadero motivo de la ruptura. You shouldn’t even think about trying it.

It won’t do you any good. It may only cause you more pain.

Verás, cuando mi ex rompió conmigo, me quedé con algunas luchas tras la ruptura. Esta es mi historia sobre catfishing mi ex.

It wasn’t worth the effort

It really wasn’t. It only helped me realize that man wasn’t in love with me anymore and as time passed by, I realized that I also didn’t love him the same way I did before.

We broke up. He became my ex, a part of my past and that’s exactly where I should leave him, in the past.

It’s so hard to pretend that you are someone else

Sinceramente, admiro a la gente que siempre finge ser otra persona sólo para agradar a los demás o para caer bien a los demás.

I have always been my true self. This is the first time I had to lie and pretend that I was someone else. It’s so hard.

It’s so hard to remember all those lies and you’re afraid of being caught all the time.

Las citas en línea nunca son seguras

This time it was safe because I really didn’t have any bad intentions. I didn’t want to hurt my ex, I just wanted to find out some things that were bothering me after the break-up.

Sin embargo, me hizo pensar. ¿Cuántos perfiles falsos hay? ¿Cuánta gente miente sobre sí misma sólo para gustar o enamorar a los demás?

Todos debemos tener más cuidado con las redes sociales e Internet. You can never be sure who’s hiding behind someone’s profile.

Lying is never a good way to achieve something…

Como ya he dicho, mentir sobre myself was the hardest part for me. I’m truly not used to lying. It was so complicated for me and a veces me perdía totalmente en mis propias mentiras.

Really, what was I thinking? That we’d be chatting forever and that he’d never ask me on a date? It’s so funny but in the beginning, I had the feeling like we were falling in love again.

La relación debe basarse en la confianza

I’m sure that trust is the foundation for every sincere relationship, that a relationship can’t survive without trust.

Nothing is worth it if you have lost your partner’s trust.

I managed to get my ex to open up to me but I didn’t like what he had to say

Después de charlar un rato, mi ex se abrió totalmente a mí. Le pregunté por su pasado y sus relaciones anteriores.

Me dijo que había estado enamorado una vez antes que yo, verdadera, loca e incondicionalmente enamorado de una chica, pero que ella nunca mostró comprensión por él y nunca le dijo lo mucho que significaba para ella.

Había una razón por la que nuestra relación terminó y lo único correcto era seguir adelante

Debería haber aceptado que íbamos por caminos diferentes. Debería haber dado algún tiempo para sanar y seguir adelante.

We broke up and we stayed friends but now, my ex is angry at me and he doesn’t even want to keep in touch with me.

De verdad, some things can’t be fixedpor mucho que lo intentemos, sólo podemos empeorarlos.

La verdad siempre sale a la luz al final

Eventually, my ex started doubting me and he asked around a little bit. He always knew I had a fake profile because I would play games on it and it didn’t take him long to put the pieces together.

Supo durante algún tiempo que era yo y entonces, en medio de una conversación, me llamó por mi verdadero nombre y me preguntó por qué lo hacía.

I sat frozen in front of my computer. I didn’t know what to do or what to answer with. I couldn’t understand what gave me away. Of course, I admitted that was me and explained why I did it.
