Their Trust Was Controlled

I maintained two committed relationships at the same time. The harm affected both partners who believed they were exclusive. I concealed the overlap through travel schedules and separate communication channels. Gifts, messages, and stories were carefully managed to avoid contradiction. I benefited emotionally and socially from both connections. When one relationship ended naturally, I continued the other without disclosure. Neither partner ever knew the full situation. The deception ended quietly and the damage remains limited to what they never learned.
