I made a shocking discovery about my boyfriend after his death that turned my whole world upside down
Imagine being with someone for years and thinking you know every intimate detail about them... only to find out after their death that they hid a dark secret from you.
That was the case for one woman, 24, who spoke exclusively to about how she made a shocking discovery about her boyfriend after his passing that turned her whole world upside down.
The woman asked to keep her identity private so she will be referred to as the pseudonym Kate throughout the story.
Kate explained that she met her boyfriend through a website for furries: enthusiasts for humans who dress up like animals.
They became close immediately, bonding over their shared love of the phenomenon, which has grown in popularity in recent years.
They were friends for three years before they started dating in 2021, and Kate believed she had found her soulmate.
But their happy love story was sadly cut short when he was diagnosed with a terminal disease a year into their romance.
And after nearly two years of battling the illness, he recently passed away.
Following his tragic death, Kate began clearing out his old devices... when she came across something devastating on his laptop.
It turns out, the man she had loved had a secret and disturbing fascination that went way beyond their innocent involvement in the furry fandom.
She found tons of saved pages containing zoophile material, which is a term used to describe a person who is sexually attracted to animals.
While she didn't divulge any more information on the content she saw, she admitted that it left her pretty shaken up.
While chatting with about the horrific discovery, Kate said she's trying not to let it 'get in the way of her mourning.'
She explained that she has no plans to tell anyone else about what she found because she doesn't want to 'damage' his legacy.
'Even though he has passed it would still be a betrayal of his trust,' she said. 'Whether right or wrong, him watching the material has never hurt anyone.
'It would be damaging to both him and me to reveal such a thing too since some people would probably think I'm lying when I have no reason to.'
She said she believes her late boyfriend wasn't a longtime zoophile, and theorized that he looked at the material because he knew he was dying.
'There was no signs or anything [before], that's why I think it was more like, "I'm doomed anyway so let's check this thing out,"' she said.
Kate also spoke about the ordeal on Reddit, admitting in an unflinchingly honest post, 'I don't even know how to feel about it.
'I can't feel mad about it. I'm too emotionally exhausted from everything, from his passing to all the arrangements that have to be made to feel anything,' she added.
'This is the person who was most important to me, gave me unconditional love, and who I helped to keep alive through my own care throughout last year and a bit beyond. It's more just a bit of a shock.
'You think you know someone inside and out but there is always something that ends up ready to surprise you.'
