I work the night audit shift at a hotel. During my shift, I checked in a friendly family—a husband, wife, and their two kids. Everything went smoothly, and they settled into their room around 11:30 PM.

About two hours later, the husband returned to the front desk and asked if he could purchase another room. I asked if there was something wrong with the current room, but he assured me everything was fine. He just wanted a separate room on a different floor for himself. I found this a bit odd, but I went ahead and booked him the additional room, handed him the keys, and he went on his way.

Now, don't judge me, but during my shift, I occasionally check Grindr out of boredom and curiosity. For those who don't know, Grindr is a gay hookup app. As I was browsing, I noticed a familiar face—the man I had just checked in with his wife and kids. I thought to myself, "Wait, is this the same guy who just asked for a separate room?"

At that moment, I had a hunch about what was going on, but I wasn't prepared for what happened next. Throughout the night, men were coming and going from his room nonstop. I'm not exaggerating—there must have been at least 20 different men. It was like clockwork.

At one point, a man came down to the front desk, claiming he was supposed to pick up the guest in the room and take them to the airport. I knew this was a lie, and what he was really there for, but I told him I couldn't give out guest information or contact guest rooms after hours. He left. Unbeknownst to him I’m assuming the guest didn’t open the door because he already had a man in there that left about 10 minutes after he did.

The thing that shocked me the most was what happened around 6 AM. The husband, after finishing his “fun” he went right back to the room he had originally reserved with his wife and kids in it. I couldn't help but think how messed up that was, especially if his wife was completely unaware of what had been happening.

As a gay man, I've heard stories about "straight" men sneaking around on their wives, but I had never seen it firsthand, let alone to this extent. I was honestly in so much disbelief.
