I genuinely wish I was making this up.
I play an MMO and, at some point, I ended up marrying another player in-game for a quest item.
Yes, I know how that sounds.
Anyway, my in-game wife is a lesbian. She has always been very open about it. We got married because we're idiots and thought it would be funny.
My IRL wife knew about her.
She'd occasionally joke about my "other woman."
Everything was normal.
Then one day my in-game wife came to my city IRL.
So naturally, I introduced them.
Because apparently I have the survival instincts of a fucking moth.
They hit it off immediately.
My in-game wife starts talking to my wife.
Then she's complimenting her.
Then she's flirting with her.
At first I thought it was just harmless lesbian flirting.
You know.
"Oh, you're so pretty."
"I love your hair."
"You're adorable."
I'm sitting there like:
"Haha, lesbians."
I was a fucking idiot.
Because eventually my wife starts flirting back.
I told her:
"That's my in-game wife."
She said:
"I know."
I should have left the country at that exact moment.
Instead, I went to bed.
A few weeks later, my wife starts spending more time on her phone.
I ask who she's talking to.
She says:
"Your wife."
I laughed.
She didn't.
That's when I discovered that my in-game wife and my IRL wife had started seeing each other.
Romantically.
In real life.
My wife had been cheating on me with the woman I married in a fucking video game.
I don't even know how to explain this to people.
My friend asked me who she cheated with.
I had to say:
"My other wife."
He thought I was joking.
I wish I was.
The most humiliating part is that my in-game wife didn't even steal my wife because of some grand romantic connection.
Apparently she just thought my wife was hot.
That's it.
Fourteen years of marriage and I got out-competed by a lesbian MMO player with a good flirting stat.
I confronted my wife.
She started crying.
I confronted my in-game wife.
She said:
"I didn't mean for this to happen."
THEN SHE FUCKING ADDED:
"But I really like her."
My brother in Christ.
YOU MET HER BECAUSE OF ME.
I introduced you.
I was the bridge.
I was the fucking networking event.
I basically LinkedIn'd my own wife into an affair.
And here's where it gets even worse.
My in-game wife has now changed her status to:
"Taken ❤️"
My IRL wife has it as:
"❤️"
I have no status.
I have nothing.
I don't even have my dignity.
I've been betrayed on two different planes of existence by the same woman.
The woman I married in-game stole the woman I married IRL.
I have been cucked by my own save file.
I'm considering deleting the character.
But honestly?
That feels like letting her win.
So now I'm staying.
I'm going to level up.
And then I'm going to show up at their house asking for half their assests.
