0:31 thanks so much now let's start the video
0:34 so here's the backstory I 30 male met
0:38 Sarah 26 female when I was 25 and she
0:40 was this shy new girl working behind the
0:42 counter of my favorite greasy spoon
0:44 Diner you know those places slightly
0:47 dingy coffee that tastes like regret and
0:49 pancakes that somehow slap every single
0:51 time my buddy Ryan and I would hit it up
0:53 after work half for the food half to
0:55 rant about life the day I first saw
0:58 Sarah though I barely noticed Ryan's
1:00 whining about his boss there she was
1:03 tying her apron looking perfect big
1:06 brown eyes dark hair tucked into a messy
1:08 ponytail and a smile that could fix a
1:11 bad day my order came out as scrambled
1:13 sentences because my brain decided to
1:15 Short Circuit when she said what can I
1:18 get you in that sweet voice of hers Ryan
1:21 of course noticed dude stop being weird
1:23 if you're into her just say something I
1:25 wasn't exactly smooth back then the
1:26 thought of walking up and being shot
1:29 down in front of Ryan who would 100%
1:32 roast me didn't sit well instead I
1:34 fumbled for a napkin and scrolled out my
1:35 name and number with my garbage
1:37 handwriting I can still remember how my
1:39 Palms were sweaty when I paid for our
1:41 food and slipped the note over she
1:43 blushed actually blushed when she
1:45 realized what I'd done she's not going
1:47 to call Ryan snorted as we left but
1:50 guess what she did that same night we
1:52 ended up talking on the phone for hours
1:54 I couldn't tell you what about probably
1:56 dumb stuff like favorite movies or her
1:59 hatred for pineapple on pizza but I
2:00 remember it felt easy
2:02 natural like I'd known her for years
2:04 even though I'd barely seen her outside
2:06 of a diner counter by the time we hung
2:08 up at 3:00 a.m. I was already half
2:10 smitten over the next few months Sarah
2:12 and I were inseparable she had this way
2:14 of making every small thing feel like a
2:16 big deal we'd walk through the park
2:18 she'd point out every stray cat and give
2:20 it an imaginary name we'd hit up cheap
2:22 diners and she'd try to guess my order
2:25 before I said it it wasn't about flashy
2:27 dates or extravagant plans being with
2:29 her just made everything better I'd been
2:31 in Rel ships before but nothing like
2:34 this nothing real with Sarah I felt like
2:36 I could finally breathe it's cliche I
2:38 know but when you meet someone who feels
2:41 like home you stop looking elsewhere
2:42 looking back there were cracks in the
2:45 perfect picture even then subtle but
2:47 there Sarah didn't talk much about her
2:49 family except to say she didn't have one
2:51 she was raised in the Foster system
2:52 bouncing from home to home until she
2:54 aged out it made sense why she was
2:57 guarded at first and honestly my heart
2:59 broke for her I grew up with two loving
3:02 parents an older sister and a dog that
3:04 still gets Christmas presents stability
3:06 was my normal but for Sarah it was a
3:08 foreign concept the one thing she did
3:10 talk about was her brother Mark she said
3:13 Mark wasn't her biological brother but
3:14 someone she'd met in foster care they'd
3:16 been close since childhood and he was
3:19 her only family I didn't question it too
3:21 hard I mean if you grew up without
3:23 parents or siblings clinging to someone
3:25 who understood you make sense right she
3:27 would tell me stories about how Mark
3:29 always looked out for her when no one
3:31 else did standing up to bullies sneaking
3:33 her snacks in group homes comforting her
3:35 when she had no one else at first I
3:38 admired it I thought it was sweet how
3:39 could you not root for someone who
3:41 fought through hell and still had
3:43 someone to lean on but slowly her
3:45 brotherly bond with Mark started to feel
3:48 off I didn't want to admit it at first
3:50 but the dude's presence was everywhere
3:52 Sarah talked about him non-stop he'd
3:54 call her every night no matter what we
3:56 were doing and she'd always pick up
3:58 dinner dates movies random evenings
4:01 cuddled on the couch if Mark called our
4:03 time was put on pause one night after
4:06 months of dating I asked her Point Blank
4:08 why does he call you so much she tilted
4:10 her head and looked at me like I'd grown
4:12 a second nose because we're close duh
4:15 he's my brother you wouldn't get it okay
4:17 fine maybe I wouldn't get it because my
4:19 older sister and I weren't calling each
4:22 other 24/7 but whatever I wasn't about
4:24 to ruin a good thing over something
4:26 minor relationships are about trust
4:28 right I trusted Sarah things started to
4:30 feel more questionable able when I
4:32 facetimed her late one night it was just
4:34 supposed to be a quick good night call
4:35 since she'd been working late shifts at
4:38 the diner instead the camera pan to Mark
4:40 shirtless sprawled right next to her in
4:42 her bed what the hell is Mark doing
4:45 there I asked feeling my stomach drop
4:46 Sarah rolled her eyes like I was the
4:49 crazy one relax he's going through a bad
4:51 breakup and didn't want to sleep alone
4:53 my bed's bigger than the couch so I let
4:55 him crash here it's not a big deal
4:57 you're telling me your brother not your
4:58 real brother mind you is just sharing
5:01 your bed and that's normal to you she
5:04 scoffed God you sound jealous it's Mark
5:06 he's family you'd understand if you were
5:08 close to your sister I let it go but it
5:10 didn't sit right with me things got more
5:12 serious When Sarah's lease was ending
5:14 she didn't have much money because she
5:16 was between jobs one night over takeout
5:19 she brought it up I was thinking maybe I
5:22 could move in with you I hesitated not
5:24 because I didn't want her there I did
5:25 but because moving in meant bigger
5:28 commitments Financial ones especially
5:30 but she hit me with those big eyes and
5:32 said I'd feel safer with you you know I
5:35 don't have anywhere else to go boom done
5:37 the girl had me wrapped around her
5:39 finger Sarah moved in a week later I
5:41 covered everything rent utilities
5:44 groceries she said she'd contribute when
5:45 she got a better job but of course that
5:47 never happened I didn't mind at first
5:49 because I loved her I wanted to take
5:51 care of her but the constant calls from
5:54 Mark the way she Dro everything to see
5:56 him the weird closeness I couldn't put
5:58 my finger on it was like an itch I
5:59 couldn't scratch I should have have
6:01 known that my dream girl was hiding
6:03 something something massive when Sarah
6:05 moved in with me I was honestly thrilled
6:08 at first I mean I'd spent years in that
6:10 house alone it felt like the natural
6:12 next step for us she'd finally have
6:14 stability and we'd get to spend more
6:16 time together I had a six-figure income
6:19 a nice house with plenty of room and I
6:21 figured why not I didn't want to be the
6:23 guy who nickels and dimes his girlfriend
6:25 when I knew her financial situation was
6:27 crap so I told her not to worry about
6:30 rent or bills I'd hand it that was
6:32 mistake number one because once Sarah
6:34 realized she didn't need to contribute
6:35 anything it was like she settled into
6:38 Queen mode suddenly our place wasn't my
6:40 house anymore it was ours she
6:42 redecorated without asking threw out
6:44 some of my stuff because it didn't match
6:46 her vibe and invited her brother Mark
6:48 over whenever she damn well pleased now
6:50 I wasn't thrilled about Mark's constant
6:53 presence but at first I tried to make an
6:55 effort Sarah wanted me to get along with
6:57 him so I figured sure I'll play nice I
7:00 bought some drinks ordered piz and let
7:02 him come over for a weekend the first
7:04 time Mark showed up though I knew
7:06 something was off this guy didn't walk
7:08 into my house like a guest he strutted
7:10 in like he owned the place didn't shake
7:12 my hand didn't say thank you when I
7:14 offered him a drink hell he barely even
7:16 looked at me he just dropped his duffel
7:17 bag in the middle of my living room
7:19 sprawled on the couch like he was
7:21 claiming it and barked hey Sarah grab me
7:24 a drink I literally did a double take
7:26 Sarah instead of calling him out for
7:28 being a rude ass smiled and said sure
7:31 Marky Marky the dude was a full-grown
7:33 adult and acting like a toddler
7:35 demanding juice boxes meanwhile I'm just
7:37 standing there holding the beer I bought
7:39 wondering why this guy was acting like I
7:41 was the Intruder in my own home it only
7:44 got worse from there the weekend was a
7:46 total nightmare Mark had no concept of
7:48 boundaries he would follow Sarah around
7:50 the house sit way too close to her on
7:53 the couch and laugh obnoxiously loud at
7:55 every single thing she said even if it
7:57 wasn't remotely funny I'd be sitting
7:59 right there next to them third wheeling
8:01 in my my own relationship at one point
8:03 Sarah got up to grab snacks leaving us
8:06 alone for maybe 30 seconds Mark just
8:07 stared at me with this smug look on his
8:09 face like he was sizing me up you're
8:13 lucky he finally muttered I blinked huh
8:15 he leaned back still staring me down
8:17 Sarah's always had someone looking after
8:20 her first me now you good thing too she
8:22 doesn't handle being alone well the way
8:23 he said it like he was still her
8:26 guardian or something made my skin crawl
8:28 before I could respond Sarah walked back
8:30 in and and Mark switched back to his
8:33 Charming brother act that night I told
8:34 Sarah I wasn't comfortable with Mark
8:37 staying over again her reaction total
8:40 meltdown you don't get it she snapped
8:41 markk been through so much and he
8:44 doesn't have anyone else he needs me I
8:46 rubbed my temples trying to stay calm
8:48 Sarah he doesn't need to be here every
8:50 weekend and the way he talks to you it's
8:52 weird her eyes narrowed like I'd
8:54 insulted her personally we're close
8:56 because we've been through hell together
8:58 sorry if you don't know what that's like
8:59 she stormed off and and I was left
9:01 wondering how trying to set a boundary
9:03 in my own house turned into me being the
9:05 bad guy the next time Mark showed up
9:08 uninvited it was under the guise of just
9:10 crashing for one night I gritted my
9:11 teeth and let it slide because what was
9:14 I supposed to do tell my girlfriend's
9:16 brother to get lost around midnight I
9:18 walked into our bedroom ready to crash
9:20 only to find Sarah curled up next to
9:22 mark on the couch the couch where he
9:24 should have been sleeping alone Sarah I
9:27 said trying not to explod why aren't you
9:29 in bed she looked up like I was crazy
9:31 Mark's not feeling great so I'm keeping
9:33 him company I stared at her why does
9:36 keeping him company mean sharing a couch
9:38 he's a grown man not a kid Afraid of the
9:40 Dark she rolled her eyes you're making
9:43 this into something it's not go to bed
9:45 I'll come up in a bit well she didn't I
9:47 spent that whole night tossing and
9:49 turning trying to ignore the anger
9:51 boiling in my chest the next morning
9:53 when I brought it up again she pulled
9:55 the classic Sarah defense you're just
9:57 jealous aren't you he's my brother stop
10:00 being insecure she said it with so much
10:02 confidence that I started questioning
10:04 myself was I overreacting was I the
10:06 jealous boyfriend who didn't get their
10:09 special bond number I wasn't I knew
10:11 something wasn't right but every time I
10:13 brought it up she flipped it on me
10:15 gaslighting at its finest if Mark wasn't
10:18 physically in our house he was calling
10:20 Sarah constantly we'd be in the middle
10:22 of a movie and her phone would ring
10:25 she'd glance at it mutter it's just Mark
10:27 and pick up for 30 minutes sometimes
10:29 longer it didn't matter what we were
10:31 doing cooking dinner hanging out with
10:34 friends even in bed if Mark called
10:36 Everything stopped for him one night I
10:38 finally snapped why does he call you so
10:40 much it's like he's attached to your hip
10:42 Sarah sighed dramatically like I was
10:44 exhausting her he's going through a
10:47 rough time I'm the only one he has Sarah
10:49 I'm supposed to be the only one you have
10:51 she glared at me I can't believe you're
10:52 making me choose between you and my
10:54 brother I wasn't making her choose
10:56 anything I was just trying to figure out
10:58 why her not really brother had VIP
11:00 access to every part of her life
11:03 including Mine by this point my patience
11:05 was wearing thin I told myself I needed
11:08 to trust her to let it go but deep down
11:09 I felt like I was being played for a
11:12 fool after 2 years of living with Sarah
11:13 I was on the edge between Mark's
11:15 constant intrusions and Sarah's refusal
11:17 to see any issue with it I started
11:19 keeping a mental list of all the weird
11:21 crap I'd let slide if you looked up
11:23 doormat in the dictionary there'd
11:26 probably be a picture of me but no more
11:28 I'd had enough around this time my
11:30 finances were in a really good place I'd
11:32 worked my ass off to get to where I was
11:35 long hours late nights and sacrifices
11:36 Sarah didn't have to make because I
11:38 covered everything my house was fully
11:40 paid off and I had enough save to buy us
11:43 a new place our dream house I thought
11:45 this would be the perfect fresh start
11:47 I'll admit it part of me hop that moving
11:49 into a new place would magically fix
11:51 everything no more Mark showing up
11:54 uninvited no more Awkward tension and no
11:55 more late night calls that ended with
11:57 Sarah whispering in the hallway like she
12:00 was keeping State secrets so I made the
12:03 call I reached out to a realtor looked
12:05 over my finances and started browsing
12:08 listings I found a gorgeous property
12:10 about an hour outside the city big
12:12 backyard huge kitchen and even an office
12:14 space for Sarah since she'd started
12:16 working from home when I told her the
12:19 news she practically jumped into my arms
12:21 you're the best fiance in the world she
12:24 said hugging me tight I can't wait to
12:25 start the next chapter with you for the
12:27 first time in months I let myself
12:30 believe we could fix this I was stupidly
12:32 optimistic like an idiot I let my guard
12:35 down after weeks of house hunting Sarah
12:37 and I finally found the one this place
12:40 was perfect white picket fence a massive
12:42 backyard for BBQs and a kitchen that
12:44 made me want to pretend I could cook I
12:46 was ready to sign the papers that week
12:48 then Sarah hit me with the demand hey
12:50 she started sweetly curling up next to
12:52 me on the couch that fake sweetness
12:54 usually meant she was about to ask for
12:56 something ridiculous when you put the
12:58 house deed together I was thinking you
13:00 should add Mark's name too I actually
13:03 laughed thinking I'd misheard her what
13:05 she blinked innocently Mark's name on
13:07 the house deed now I'm no pushover
13:09 anymore I looked her dead in the eye and
13:12 said Sarah are you high why the hell
13:14 would I put Mark's name on my house she
13:17 didn't like that it's our house she shot
13:19 back folding her arms and Mark's family
13:21 he's been there for me when no one else
13:23 was I want him included I couldn't
13:25 believe what I was hearing I'd tolerated
13:29 a lot but this number absolutely not so
13:31 let me get this straight you're asking
13:33 me to buy a house with my own money and
13:35 instead of just you and me you want to
13:38 slap your brother's name on it too why
13:40 what's he done to deserve that her voice
13:42 Rose a notch he's family you don't get
13:44 it because you've had a perfect life but
13:46 I don't have anyone else adding Mark
13:49 makes me feel secure I wasn't budging
13:52 Sarah I'm marrying you not Mark you want
13:54 to include him in your life fine but
13:56 he's not touching my house end of story
13:58 that's when the tears started her goto
14:01 move you don't understand she sobbed
14:03 this is why I can't trust anyone
14:05 everyone leaves me except mark You're
14:07 supposed to be different I stared at her
14:09 disgusted this isn't about trust it's
14:11 about you trying to con me into handing
14:13 over part of my house to your brother
14:16 and I'm not stupid enough to fall for it
14:18 the argument went on for hours Sarah
14:21 alternated between crying screaming and
14:23 trying to Guilt Trip me into giving in
14:25 but for once I stood my ground I'd been
14:27 gaslit enough and this was where I drew
14:29 the line the next week I couldn't stop
14:32 thinking about how insane her demand was
14:34 I didn't tell anyone not my sister not
14:36 my parents because I didn't want them
14:38 thinking less of Sarah I was still
14:40 holding on to hope that maybe this was
14:42 just a weird phase then I ran into Katie
14:44 Katie was Sarah's best friend from
14:46 college she was one of those people who
14:48 overshares everything which turned out
14:50 to be very useful for me we bumped into
14:52 each other at a coffee shop near my
14:54 office and after some casual small talk
14:56 she asked how the wedding planning was
14:58 going I Shrugged we're stuck on a house
15:00 issue what house issue she asked sipping
15:03 her latte I sighed and told her about
15:05 Sarah's demand to put Mark's name on the
15:08 house deed Katie's smile froze midp wait
15:10 what did you say she wants Mark's name
15:12 on the deed I repeated she says he's
15:15 family and she wants him included Katie
15:17 put her drink down her face pale you
15:19 don't know do you know what I asked my
15:22 stomach twisting into knots Katie
15:23 hesitated like she didn't want to be the
15:26 one to tell me but finally she said it
15:27 Mark isn't her brother he's her
15:31 ex-boyfriend I froze what yeah they
15:32 dated for years when they were in foster
15:34 care after they broke up they started
15:36 telling people they were siblings to
15:38 avoid judgment I thought you knew I
15:41 stared at her speechless my mind raced
15:43 back to every brotherly hug every weird
15:45 sleepover and every phone call that
15:48 interrupted our dates all of it clicked
15:50 she's been lying to me this entire time
15:53 I asked my voice flat Katie winced I'm
15:56 so sorry I thought she told you I left
15:58 the coffee shop in a days replaying the
16:00 last five years in my head like a movie
16:03 I suddenly realized was garbage Mark the
16:05 guy I'd been forced to tolerate wasn't
16:07 her brother he was her ex and she had
16:09 the audacity to demand I put his name on
16:12 the house I was paying for it all made
16:14 sense now I wasn't crazy I wasn't
16:17 insecure Sarah had been gaslighting me
16:18 lying to my face and dragging me into
16:21 some bizarre Twisted mess but here's the
16:23 thing I'm not the kind of guy who sits
16:25 back and lets himself get played that
16:27 night I decided I wasn't going to wait
16:29 anymore Sarah had answers to give give
16:31 and I was done pretending everything was
16:33 fine I got home that evening feeling
16:35 like I'd been punched in the gut Mark
16:37 her ex-boyfriend I couldn't get those
16:40 words out of my head 5 years five damn
16:42 years she'd been lying to me and I'd
16:44 been standing here not listening to my
16:46 inner voice defending their close
16:48 sibling Bond I got home that evening
16:50 feeling like I'd been stamped in the
16:53 back Mark her ex-boyfriend I couldn't
16:56 get those words out of my head 5 years
16:58 five damn years she'd been lying to me
16:59 and I'd been standing here like an idiot
17:02 defending their close sibling Bond I
17:04 walked through the door and there she
17:06 was lounging on my couch with her feet
17:07 up like she didn't have a care in the
17:10 world hey babe she said flipping through
17:12 Netflix like she hadn't spent the last
17:14 few years gaslighting me I dropped my
17:16 keys on the counter a little harder than
17:18 I needed to we need to talk Sarah
17:21 glanced over still annoyingly calm about
17:23 what I took a deep breath I wasn't going
17:25 to let her twist this on me not this
17:28 time about you and Mark her hand froze
17:29 midair with the remote
17:31 her face went from relaxed to defensive
17:33 in half a second flat what about him I
17:36 stared her down don't play dumb I ran
17:38 into Katie today she told me the truth
17:40 HEK not your brother is he the color
17:42 drained from her face so fast I thought
17:44 she might pass out her lips parted and
17:47 she stammered what did she say she told
17:50 me everything I said firmly Mark isn't
17:52 your brother he's your ex-boyfriend the
17:54 guy you used to date the guy you've been
17:56 sneaking around with lying to me about
17:58 and bringing into my house like I'm some
18:01 kind of idiot her face crumpled but she
18:03 tried to salvage the situation it's not
18:05 what you think oh really I snapped
18:07 folding my arms because what I think is
18:09 that you've been cheating on me lying to
18:11 my face and letting your ex-boyfriend
18:13 sleep next to you while you gas lit me
18:14 into thinking I was crazy for
18:16 questioning it Sarah jumped off the
18:19 couch her eyes wild with panic I didn't
18:22 cheat Mark and I he's like family now we
18:24 haven't been like that in years I
18:26 laughed bitterly family you mean the guy
18:28 you used to date you think calling him
18:30 your brother magically makes it less
18:33 disgusting it's not disgusting she
18:35 yelled tears starting to form we were
18:38 just kids after we broke up we realized
18:40 we were better as family that's all it
18:42 is you're blowing this out of proportion
18:44 I wasn't buying it for a second my gut
18:46 was telling me there was more so you're
18:49 telling me I said stepping closer that
18:50 you've never done anything with him
18:53 recently that all those sleepovers all
18:55 those late night calls all those times
18:57 you comforted him there's nothing else
19:00 going on she looked away biting her lip
19:03 I felt my chest tighten Sarah look at me
19:04 tell me the truth have you slept with
19:07 Mark recently there was a long pause her
19:09 silence told me everything answer me I
19:11 yelled slamming my fist against the
19:13 table she flinched and finally muttered
19:15 yes a few times it felt like the air had
19:17 been sucked out of the room I stared at
19:20 her my hands shaking as her words echoed
19:23 in my head a few times I repeated my
19:26 voice dangerously low a few times you've
19:28 been sleeping with your ex the guy you
19:30 called call your brother while I've been
19:31 here paying for everything like a
19:35 goddamn fool she broke down sobbing it
19:37 didn't mean anything I swear it just
19:40 happened I was confused and Mark he's
19:42 always been there for me I didn't mean
19:44 for it to happen I laughed but there was
19:47 no humor in it oh it just happened you
19:49 didn't mean for it that's your excuse
19:51 you've been lying to me for years
19:53 cheating on me and now you want me to
19:55 believe it doesn't mean anything I still
19:57 love you she cried clutching at me like
20:00 I was the lifelong she was about to lose
20:02 it was a mistake I swear I shoved her
20:05 hands away don't touch me the anger
20:07 boiling in my chest was white hot I had
20:09 spent years supporting this woman paying
20:12 for her rent her groceries her damn
20:14 existence and all the while she had been
20:16 sneaking around with Mark you know what
20:19 Sarah I said my voice ice cold you're
20:21 pathetic you had everything everything I
20:23 gave you and you threw it away for some
20:25 loser who pretends to be your brother
20:27 she sobbed harder collapsing onto the
20:30 couch like some dramatic movie scene you
20:32 can't leave me I don't have anyone else
20:35 I stared at her disgusted that's not my
20:37 problem anymore I didn't stop there I
20:39 had one more thing to settle give me
20:41 back the engagement ring her head shot
20:44 up what no that ring is a family
20:47 heirloom I said firmly it belonged to my
20:49 grandmother and there's no way in hell
20:50 you're keeping it after what you've done
20:53 you gave it to me she wailed clutching
20:55 her hand like I'd asked her to cut it
20:58 off it's mine I leaned closer my tone
21:01 dead calm you cheated on me Sarah you
21:03 lied to me for 5 years you've been
21:05 living in my house on my dime while
21:07 sneaking around with your ex you don't
21:10 get to keep anything take it off she
21:11 shook her head but I wasn't playing
21:13 anymore Sarah you're not leaving this
21:15 house until I have that ring in my hand
21:17 so either you take it off or I'll call
21:19 the cops and explain everything your
21:22 choice that did it sobbing and shaking
21:24 she pulled the ring off and slammed it
21:26 onto the coffee table you're heartless
21:28 she screamed I pocketed the ring without
21:30 another word you have 1 hour to pack
21:33 your stuff and call a ride she cried
21:35 begged and tried every manipulation
21:37 trick she had left but I didn't care I
21:40 was done when her Uber finally pulled up
21:42 she called Mark to come get her first I
21:44 heard her begging over the phone but
21:45 apparently Mark wanted nothing to do
21:48 with her drama shocker by the time she
21:49 dragged her bags to the front door she
21:52 looked like a wreck I'll wait for you
21:54 she sniffled trying one last time I know
21:56 you'll come back I didn't even look at
21:58 her don't hold your breath I shut the
22:01 door in her face locked the deadbolt and
22:03 sat down in silence for the first time
22:06 in years I wasn't drowning in her lies I
22:09 wasn't being used or played update turns
22:11 out my fiance's brother was her ex I
22:14 kicked her out and Karma did the rest
22:16 hey redit I wasn't planning on posting
22:18 an update but a lot has happened since I
22:20 kicked Sarah out and I figured you all
22:22 deserve to hear the end of this story
22:24 Karma's undefeated and I didn't have to
22:26 lift a single damn finger to get revenge
22:28 it came to me gift wrapped and I just
22:30 sat back and enjoyed the show I went
22:32 full no contact with Sarah the night I
22:35 threw her out blocked her number blocked
22:38 her on social media and changed my locks
22:40 I figured she'd slink back to Mark and
22:41 they'd live happily ever after in their
22:44 weird little Li fueled relationship
22:46 whatever not my circus not my monkeys
22:49 but karma oh it had other plans about a
22:52 month later I ran into Katie Sarah's
22:54 former best friend at the same coffee
22:56 shop where I'd first learned the truth
22:58 now Katie's the kind of person who knows
23:00 everything about everyone and she
23:01 couldn't wait to Spill the tea
23:04 apparently Sarah's life had completely
23:06 imploded since I kicked her out first
23:08 she tried to move in with Mark after all
23:10 he was her Rock her family her
23:12 everything right well turns out Mark
23:14 wasn't sticking around for Sarah he was
23:16 sticking around for her money you see
23:18 while I was covering all of Sarah's
23:20 living expenses she'd managed to save up
23:23 a little cash from her old Diner job and
23:24 guess what she'd been funneling it
23:27 straight to Mark groceries rent when he
23:29 was short a brand new phone after his
23:32 broke you name it Sarah paid for it she
23:34 was basically Mark's Sugar Mama the
23:35 second I cut her off and she had no
23:37 place to live her savings disappeared
23:40 fast that's when she turned to Mark
23:41 probably thinking he'd let her stay with
23:44 him except Mark being the piece of work
23:46 he is Flatout ghosted her stopped
23:48 answering her calls blocked her on
23:50 socials and left her stranded Katie told
23:52 me Sarah had been couch surfing ever
23:54 since bouncing between old co-workers
23:57 and barely scraping by she was broke
24:00 alone and miserable and me I couldn't
24:02 stop smiling I know that sounds cold but
24:05 come on this was Karma doing its thing
24:07 and I had front row seats the guy she
24:08 cheated with dumped her the second she
24:10 couldn't fund his life anymore you love
24:12 to see it now here's where it gets even
24:14 better a week after hearing all this
24:16 from Katie I got a text from an unknown
24:19 number it was one of those long rambling
24:21 paragraphs you know the kind I knew it
24:23 was Sarah before I even read it here's a
24:25 highlight reel I'm so sorry for
24:27 everything I know I messed up and I
24:29 regret everything I did I don't have
24:32 anyone else and I miss you so much you
24:33 were the best thing that ever happened
24:35 to me please give me a chance to explain
24:38 and fix this I'll do anything oh now you
24:40 miss me now I'm the best thing that ever
24:43 happened to you I didn't respond blocked
24:45 the number the next day she tried
24:47 calling from another number I let it go
24:50 to voicemail Q the crying sniffly sobs
24:52 and the whole I don't have anyone else
24:53 please don't abandon me like everyone
24:55 else did routine I don't know what she
24:57 expected did she think I'd hear her
24:59 crying and just forget the months of
25:01 lying cheating and gaslighting I don't
25:04 negotiate with manipulators the cherry
25:06 on top came a couple of weeks ago I was
25:08 out grabbing groceries just minding my
25:09 own business when I spotted her near the
25:12 frozen food section and let me tell you
25:14 she looked rough her hair was greasy her
25:16 clothes were wrinkled and she had that
25:18 Hollow look people get when their life
25:20 is in freef Fall she saw me almost
25:22 immediately and made a beline toward me
25:24 hey she said softly her voice shaking I
25:26 gave her the kind of Nod you give to a
25:28 stranger you pass on the street Sarah
25:30 her her eyes welled up with tears how
25:33 how have you been I smiled fantastic she
25:35 flinched and I swear I saw her lip
25:37 tremble I miss you she said I know I
25:39 messed up I didn't realize what I had
25:41 until I lost it I've been thinking about
25:43 us a lot and I just I just want to fix
25:45 it I tilted my head like I was
25:48 considering it hm yeah I don't think so
25:51 her face crumpled please I don't have
25:53 anyone else I didn't even feel bad
25:55 that's not my problem anymore Sarah you
25:58 chose this you chose to cheat you chose
26:00 to lie and now you're dealing with the
26:03 consequences I made a mistake she said
26:07 weakly I smirked no you made choices and
26:08 now you've got to live with them I
26:10 didn't wait for her to respond I grabbed
26:13 my cart turned around and walked away so
26:16 here I am now redit Sarah lost
26:18 everything her relationship with me her
26:20 weird manipulative hold over Mark and
26:22 any ounce of stability she had she
26:24 gambled thinking she could play both
26:27 sides and she lost spectacularly
26:28 meanwhile I'm thriving
26:30 I'm back at the gym catching up with
26:32 friends I neglected during that train
26:34 wreck of a relationship and even dipped
26:36 my toe back into dating life is peaceful
26:39 and for the first time in a long time I
26:41 feel like myself again and the best part
26:43 I didn't have to lift a damn finger for
26:45 Revenge Karma handled it for me and it
26:47 was beautiful to watch Sarah thought I
26:49 was some fool she could manipulate
26:51 forever but in the end she played
26:53 herself moral of the story trust your
26:56 gut if something feels off it probably
26:58 is and never ever let some someone
27:00 Gaslight you into ignoring your own
27:02 instincts Sarah if you're out there
27:04 reading this I hope you enjoy couch
