Former Catholic nun Kinse Shako Annastasia has opened up about her experience with dishonesty in relationships after discovering that a man she was dating was already married.
Kinse, who previously left religious life after speaking publicly about concerns surrounding the treatment of nuns by some priests, shared the experience while discussing the challenges people face when dating.
In a social media post, the former nun questioned how some men can confidently lie about important details in their relationships.
Kinse said she initially trusted the man she was seeing, only to later discover that he had a wife. The revelation left her wondering how someone could comfortably hide such a major part of their life from a partner.
She also spoke about situations where a man may deny having another woman while secretly maintaining a relationship with someone else.
Using a humorous example, Kinse said some men can claim they were spending time with a person called John, only for their partner to later discover that John was actually a woman.
However, she noted that the most troubling lies are often those used to keep someone emotionally invested in a relationship.
According to Kinse, some people make promises about love, commitment and a future together even when their actions suggest otherwise.
She encouraged people to look beyond romantic words and pay closer attention to behaviour.
Kinse argued that consistency is important because a person’s actions eventually reveal their true intentions.
Her comments sparked reactions online, with some followers joking that she was discovering the difficult realities of modern dating.
Others said her experience highlighted the importance of honesty, trust and transparency when building relationships.
