Have you ever known someone capable of faking an entire relationship?

Ana Margarita Martinez won a $7.1 million judgment against the Cuban government for "emotional distress" in 2001, after she found out her husband, Juan Pablo Roque, wasn't the man she thought he was.

She'd met Roque in 1992, after the former Cuban Air Force major made headlines for allegedly braving shark infested waters to swim to Gitmo seeking political asylum in the U.S.

They dated for three years before getting hitched.

Unbeknownst to Martinez, Roque was an FBI snitch – and an undercover Cuban agent who'd been sent to gather intel on the Cuban exile community in Miami. She found out both after he snuck out of their home one night in 1996, and then appeared on CNN in Cuba a few days later crowing about his accomplishments.

Adding insult to injury, when asked what he missed about Miami, he said just one thing: "My Jeep."

Not directly, though sometimes I wonder about people who are in a marriage and also "with someone else" and neither the spouse nor the other knows. I'd say there's something pretty fake about both those relationships they're in. Just my thoughts.

I think its not as much faking it but creating a story. My ex wife played a role.

No, that sounds like an unnecessary amount of effort.
