Reply to TIFU as I presented my bf with his cheating partner on a silver platter by Certain_Syllabubb
>Did he do it before? Was our entire relationship a lie?
I really don't think so, from what you've told here your boyfriend didn't mind doing things only with you, especially after his fight with his friends.
What I and my phony know-it-all-ism think it happened was that his friend came out during this time that they were apart and realized he had feelings towards your boyfriend back in their military days and he unfortunately did this.
Because if your boyfriend never gave the impression that they previously hooked up in the past, if he never felt visibly awkward when you joked about it or if he never kept on talking a lot about Leo, I presume there's no reason to think that something happened before between the two and no reason to think that your boyfriend "was secretly in love with him" all of this time...
Since you two have this intimacy of using each others phones, just be honest with him: tell him exactly what you told here about you trying to take a picture of your cat, that the message popped up and you couldn't help feeling uneasy... it is an extraordinary thing to happen to anyone and I think he'll understand why you read their conversation.
You sound like a cool person, I hope you can sort this thing out. I really can't imagine how you must be feeling and at the same time asking to yourself what in the world has happened... take care.

Everything can be tea if you boil it enough.

Reply to TIL tomb raiding is a big problem in China that looters sometimes find historically significant sites first. For instance the tomb of the famed 3 Kingdoms-era general, Cao Cao, was discovered in 2008 after police inspected the stolen goods of a bunch of robbers, who then led them to an unknown tomb. by Khysamgathys

Reply to TIL The largest diamond ever found was the Cullinan Diamond, which was discovered in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats (over 1.2 pounds) and was cut into nine separate stones, including the Great Star of Africa, which is the largest clear-cut diamond in the world at 530.2 carats. by mic3ttaa
The story of Cullinan I to Cullinan IX could be turned into a progressive rock record.

Reply to TIL: Regina Hall (Brenda from the "Scary Movie" franchise) wanted and tried to become a Catholic Nun in 2010, but was rejected by the order. by euromonic
If you're looking for something interesting about that, don't bother:
> In 2010, when she was 40, Hall unsuccessfully tried to become a Catholic nun after a bad break-up, having previously wanted to become one at the age of 14. In the latter case, she was refused for being too old, as the cut-off age is 39.

Reply to TIFU : Bought two fireplaces at auction, now my dad wants the nice one. by Lunchable-Toast
TIL about the existence of electric fireplaces.
Who do you think will understand the situation and handle it better? You or your father? Do you think it is important for your dad as much as it's important to you?
I personally would let my dad have the one he liked... I don't know, you'll be able to buy another one in the future, I'm sure, and your dad will have something new to brag about it, something that his son indicated for him to buy it and he liked the idea, the hype!
Take care.
