Hello all, thanks for the few comments you did help me. As a recap I travel a lot between 3 facilities(in different states) for work on a somewhat regular basis. Over a year ago, I met G(Gina). We were basically FWB with hints of a bit more. Last time we were together, we were at a grocery store, and a former coworker called her out and asked how David was, and I had no idea who she was talking about. Gina got weird and stopped talking to me while showing multiple red flags. I couldn't look her up for some reason on social media. Then basically ghosted me.
I just traveled back there, and she was actually at our normal meeting place (bar). I was surprised to actually see her again. I noticed she was talking to a guy. When she noticed me, she gave a smile for like half a second, and she got a worried look on her face. She came over to me and apologized again and wanted to talk.
Long conversation short, she is married. To David. She did lie about her last name and blocked me on social media. She said it was because she was surprised how she felt about me and didn't want to hurt me. She came clean about everything. Turns out she and David have been married for 10 years. But Gina is what people call a "beard." She is straight, and her husband is 110% not. Their parents are both super religious and traditional. They live! together but have separate life's and relationships. The marriage is basically a cover and only on paper.
David is actually a really cool guy and kept complimenting me and made the comment, "I see why you like him so much. I would have taken him home with me as well." I don't know how to take that.
I'm not sure what the relationship is going to be like moving forward, but thanks for everything!
TLDR; I thought my FWB was cheating on her husband with me. She was, but not really. Their marriage is to cover her husband's sexual orientation.
ETA, the person she was talking to at the bar, was DAVID. The real David. After Gina and I talked, he came over, and we all talked for a few hours. He is a nice guy. Also, I do get tested regularly.
