I led a double life for a while, professionally-speaking. After leaving the military, I went to a private sector job, and then another. While at the second job I was recruited by a govt agency that was interested in placing me in a third job as part of an official cover, with cooperation by the company. The official cover job offered me reason/plausible deniability to travel to the places I needed to be, and meet with people there. It sounds a lot more exciting than it was.

No that sounds exhausting and like it would eventually blow up. No way.

Same

It's mind boggling to me to know people that can live double lives (secret affairs) with zero shame, guilt and can lie so easily. To me, it seems sociopathic.

OP, it seems obvious you have a gripe with a specific person so just say what they did.

I barely have enough energy for the life that I have, so that's a no from me.

Interestingly though, my ex husband lived a double life. I always thought it was drinking/drug related but as I have a teenager recently diagnosed with mental health issues, I've come to decide that maybe he was bipolar manic living the double life for the thrill.

Curious about what makes people think that they fool other people, and to what extent they think they fool other people, especially if their family is involved. Also wondering how far people are willing to go.

What the heck are you talking about? Care to give an example?

Can my double life have no family, no obligations but super wealthy and alone? I might be up for that

Like something criminal?

Or like my dad who secretly started a second family while still married to my mom?

To add, all this assuming appearances are important to you, and that your actions are based on that.
