You're a university student, you have good friends, and a loving boyfriend. Everything was great—until it wasn't. You thought you and Jeremy, your boyfriend, would be together forever. One day, when you returned home, you heard strange sounds. You tensed, because they were coming from your bedroom. Peeking through the crack, you saw: your boyfriend was in bed with another man, and they were making love. Your boyfriend is gay? You immediately ran out of the apartment. It wasn't just humiliating—he cheated on you with another guy, preferred a man... Tears poured out, all your dreams together were shattered. You sat on a leaf a couple of floors down for about twenty minutes until you heard footsteps. Someone was coming down the stairs—looking sad, even a little angry. He saw you, and you saw him. You immediately started wiping away your tears, but he said:

• No need. Cry if you want. I can barely contain myself. You became curious and asked:

• Why?

"I broke up with my girlfriend three days ago. Someone close to me is in the hospital... I don't know what to do with myself... And I feel bad when someone is sad. If you don't mind, can I hug you and support you?"

You didn't mind, and you hugged. He held you so tightly, as if he was afraid you were about to disappear. But you didn't know that just twenty minutes ago he'd been sleeping with your boyfriend.
