This started back during thanksgiving. I am single and live out of town. Every time I come home I open up the ol’ dating app to see who is around.
As I’m doing my usual swiping a familiar face shows up, a girl I went to school with. Now this isn’t just any girl, she is the daughter of a high up administrator. Her and her brother are well known in the community.
Now I’m from a small town. Everyone knows each other and gossip spreads quickly. I ask my mom, who also works at the school, “Hey. Did X get divorced?” and sent her screenshots of the girl’s profile. My mom said she hadn’t heard and would ask around.
Fast forward to Christmas and I’m back in town. I hadn’t heard anything and ask my mom again if she had. Well, apparently the rumor had spread around while I was away and eventually reached the girl’s mother and eventually the girl.
The guy she had married cheated on her and left her with the baby for a stripper. She really didn’t want it to be public knowledge and if it was to be, she wanted to wait until the holidays were over.
Her and her divorce ended up being the big scoop everyone was talking about for the holidays. She didn’t even go to the neighborhood holiday party with her family.
TL;DR: Found a well known school admin’s daughter on a dating site, exposed her divorce, and made her the talk of the town
