A Beard Situation
This gal was totally blindsided when her first boyfriend broke up with her. She thought everything was fine and dandy when they both moved away to attend different colleges. He called the very first day he moved into his dorm room to break the news. The thing was, she had no idea that their whole high school relationship was a farce.

As it turns out, he was gay and decided to come out after high school. She always thought it was kind of weird that he never wanted to get physical… Looking back, it was obvious that he was closeted and used their relationship as a beard. She was totally fine with it but felt silly for not realizing what was happening!
