Many of the people she met were international students from Malaysia and Singapore.
So everyone shared a lot about their background. But while discussing their family backgrounds, one guy among the group, born and bred in the city where they are attending university together, mentioned his father’s very unusual name. The Reddit user candidly expressed that she found it very interesting that her new friend’s father had the same unusual name as her father back home.
The curious lady further explained their ethnicity and how much Australian blood they had that ran down their veins, dating back to their families’ history, “We’re both as close to 100% Australia as you can get (our families have been here for many generations).”
Once the woman and her guy friend discovered that their fathers shared the same unusual name, they both dug deeper into the subject to learn more about their loved ones.
They were more curious to learn about their eerily similar backgrounds, but they were not ready for what they would uncover in their quest to know each other better.
The two university students decided to pull up pictures of their respective families. “And to our shock, they were the same person,” the woman revealed. She explained that both photos they had shown each other showed the same man but with “different woman/wife/mother and different kids!”
“We were both speechless,” she said of their reaction to the revelation, adding, “I didn’t know how to process what we found out.” The individual begged for advice on the platform.
In the comments section, another Reddit user sympathized with her and asked whether her father had shown disapproval of her attending university in that particular town.
Or if he tried to convince her to go somewhere else.
The user also asked what the guy friend has heard about their father, such as him not being around as much, adding that the dad needed to tell the truth while warning things would get “messy.”
The social media user also stated the woman needed to meet with her father and give him a heads up, telling him she knew. According to the user, the dad must be aware that such could happen if he constantly avoided visiting her now.
It was suspicious how he often traveled to that very same city for work but stopped once she enrolled there for school. The person added she would know from her dad’s reaction if he wanted to come clean and do what was right.
