Lie by omission

Today, I found out the guy I was talking and mutually flirty with is married. I was under the impression that he was divorced, up until when he told me that he's married and assumed that I knew. He says he's in a loveless marriage because his wife cheated and they're staying together for their little kid. WTF? FML

Totally wrong for him to: 1) Flirt with someone while he is married. 2) String you along like that. He needs to get his crap straight first.

According to the mainstream values of our society, when someone is flirting, their default state should be single. You weren’t wrong to assume this. Naive maybe, but not wrong.

What gave you that impression? Did he actually tell you that, or did you assume it to make your narrative more pleasant?

I learned this lesson a long time ago. Always ask if they are married. Man or woman.
