She Let Her Coworkers Convince Her I Wasn’t Good Enough—Then Tried to Take It Back Hours After Walking Away

There are breakups that feel like they were building for months, maybe even years. You can trace them back to arguments, distance, things left unsaid. Then there are the ones that hit you out of nowhere, like someone pulled the ground out from under your feet while you were still standing on it.

Mine was the second kind.

I’m 28, from a small town in the Midwest, and for a long time, I thought I had my life figured out. Not in the flashy, big-city, corner-office kind of way. Just… steady. Solid. The kind of life you build piece by piece until one day you look around and realize it’s actually working.

A big part of that life was Amelia.

We met back in high school, sophomore year, in one of those classrooms where nobody really wanted to be but somehow everything important still happened there. She wasn’t the loudest person in the room, not the kind who needed attention. She kept to herself mostly, but when she did speak, people listened.

There was something about her—this quiet intensity, like her mind was always racing ahead, chasing something bigger than where we were.

The first time we actually talked, it wasn’t anything special. Just a group project, passing notes back and forth about who was doing what. But somewhere in between that, she started telling me about her plans. Not vague ideas—actual plans. She wanted to work in publishing, live in a big city, be surrounded by books, maybe even write one of her own someday.

I remember sitting there thinking, she’s already living in the future.

Me? I wasn’t like that. I wasn’t failing or anything, but I didn’t have some grand vision. I just knew I liked working with my hands. Fixing things. Figuring out how stuff worked and making it work better.

It wasn’t glamorous, but it made sense to me.

By junior year, that started turning into something real. Small jobs at first—fixing pipes, helping neighbors, doing odd repair work. Then more calls came in. People started recommending me. I realized I could actually build something out of it.

While everyone else was stressing about college applications, I was building a business.

And somehow, Amelia and I just… fit.

Senior year, we were inseparable. Prom, late-night movies in my parents’ basement, long conversations about everything and nothing. She’d talk about the city lights and book deals and future possibilities. I’d talk about expanding my business, maybe hiring people someday.

Different dreams, same direction.

When she got accepted into her university, I don’t think I’d ever been that proud of someone else in my life. She showed up at my house waving the letter, practically glowing. I hugged her so tight she laughed and told me I was crushing her.

That was Amelia. Always moving forward. Always chasing more.

When she left for college, I didn’t see it as losing her. I saw it as investing in us. She was building her dream, and I was building mine. It made sense.

So I worked.

Long hours. Early mornings. Late nights. I grew the business slowly, carefully. It wasn’t flashy, but it was stable. And when she needed help, I was there.

Rent short one month? I covered it.
Books too expensive? I sent money.
Finals week stress? I drove four hours just to sit with her for a weekend.

I didn’t keep score. I didn’t think about it like sacrifice. I just thought—this is what you do when you love someone.

There were moments, sure, when something felt off.

Calls that got cut short. Messages that took longer to come back. Conversations that felt rushed, like I was squeezing into a space that was already full.

But every time I visited her, it disappeared.

We’d walk around campus, grab cheap food, sit in her tiny apartment and talk for hours like nothing had changed. Those moments carried me through everything else.

After she graduated, things started moving fast for her.

She landed a job at a well-known publishing house in the city. Not her ultimate dream position, but close enough to taste it. She moved into a new apartment, met new people, stepped into a world that looked nothing like the one we came from.

I was proud. Genuinely.

I told everyone about her. Bragged about her like her success was mine too.

At the same time, my business had grown into something solid. I had employees now. Contracts. A steady stream of work that meant I didn’t have to worry about money the way I used to.

Different worlds, but still connected.

At least, that’s what I thought.

The shift didn’t happen all at once. It was subtle at first, like something just slightly out of alignment. Conversations changed. The way she talked about her life, her coworkers, her new circle—it all had this tone I couldn’t quite place.

Like she was comparing.

I’d ask about her day, and she’d mention people I’d never met. People with degrees from big schools, people working in high-rise offices, people who talked about investments and networking events like it was second nature.

And then there were the little comments.

Nothing direct. Nothing you could point to and say, that’s the problem.

Just things like, “It’s so different here,” or “People really think about the future differently,” or “Everyone’s so driven.”

I didn’t think much of it at first. People grow. Environments change you. That’s normal.

But then came the night everything broke.

We were on a call, just a regular conversation. I was telling her about a job I’d just landed—big contract, something I’d been working toward for months. I expected her to be excited.

Instead, there was a pause.

Not a long one. Just enough to feel it.

“That’s good,” she said finally, but her voice sounded distant. Distracted.

Something in my chest tightened.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Nothing,” she said quickly. “I just… had a long day.”

I almost let it go. Almost.

But something told me not to.

“Amelia,” I said, quieter this time, “talk to me.”

There was another pause. Longer now.

And when she finally spoke, her voice had changed.

“My coworkers think…” she started, then stopped.

I felt my stomach drop.

“What?” I asked.

“They think we’re… mismatched.”

The word hung there between us, heavy and ugly.

“Mismatched how?” I asked, even though part of me already knew.

“They just think…” she hesitated again, like saying it out loud would make it worse. “That I could be with someone more… aligned with where I’m going.”

I didn’t say anything for a second. I couldn’t.

Because it wasn’t just her coworkers talking anymore.

It was her.

“And what do you think?” I asked finally.

Silence.

Then, softly, almost like she was convincing herself as much as me—

“I don’t know if we’re in the same place anymore.”

That was it.

Years of history, of effort, of showing up—reduced to a conversation influenced by people who didn’t even know me.

“I think we should break up,” she said.

Just like that.

No argument. No big fight. Just a decision, delivered like it had already been made hours ago.

I sat there, phone in my hand, staring at nothing.

“Okay,” I said.

That was all I gave her. No begging. No pleading. Just… okay.

She sounded surprised. Like she expected more. Like she needed more to justify what she’d just done.

But I didn’t give it to her.

We hung up not long after.

And for a while, I just sat there in silence, letting it sink in.

Five hours later, my phone lit up.

Her name.

Then another call.

Then a text.

“I made a mistake.”

“I shouldn’t have listened to them.”

“Can we talk?”

I stared at the screen, my mind replaying everything she’d said earlier, every doubt, every hesitation, every word that couldn’t be taken back.

And for the first time since the call ended… I didn’t feel confused.

I felt something else entirely.

Because now the question wasn’t why she left.

It was why she thought she could just come back.

she wasn’t editing bestsellers or writing her own book yet but it was a start she was excited and I was excited for her I thought we made it through the hard part now it’s time to build our future by then my Plumbing business was doing better than ever I’d expanded hired a couple of guys to help with the workload and was even thinking about opening a second location I was proud of what I’d built even if it wasn’t the kind of job that came with fancy titles or a corner office Amelia used to joke you’re the

CEO of pipes and I love that she could see the humor in it for a while things were good I kept supporting her the way I always had if she needed help with anything I’d send her the money if she had a big project at work I’d show up with her favorite takeout so she wouldn’t have to cook on weekends we’d take little trips or just hang out and binge watch whatever show we were into at the time it wasn’t perfect but it worked but there were signs that things weren’t as solid as I thought her work seemed seemed to take over her life she

loved what she was doing but it was like she was always trying to prove something to her boss her co-workers maybe even to herself I’d try to get her to slow down to take a break but she’d say things like you don’t get it in this industry you have to hustle I tried to be understanding but there were times when it felt like we were growing apart I didn’t want to admit it though I figured every couple goes through rough patches and we’d get through ours too after all we’d been together since we were kids if anyone could make it it was us at least

that’s what I thought before Liz showed up Liz was one of Amelia’s co-workers and at first she seemed cool Amelia would mention her here and there saying stuff like Liz says she’s jealous of how supportive you are or Liz thinks it’s sweet that you drive me lunch when I’m too busy to leave the office I didn’t think much of it it’s normal for people to talk about their relationships at work right but Liz wasn’t just talking she was planting seeds the first time I noticed something off was when Amelia mentioned a casual conversation they had

during lunch apparently Liz said you’re so lucky your boyfriend supports you chasing your dreams most guys would feel threatened by a woman with ambition sounds like a compliment right but Amelia added she said most guys like that are secretly controlling she asked if you ever hold money over my head I laughed it off at the time because it was ridiculous I’d never once made Amelia feel like she owed me for anything if anything I always encouraged her to focus on herself and let me worry about the bills but I could tell it

stuck in Amelia’s mind because she started insisting on paying for little things here and there like coffee or gas money when we’d go on a trip it wasn’t a big deal but it felt like the dynamic between us was shifting then came the criticisms Liz was always finding something wrong with what I did no matter how thoughtful or kind it was one day I surprised Amelia at work with her favorite Sushi because she’d mentioned skipping lunch to finish an assignment she texted me later thanking me but then added Liz said it was sweet but she

thought it was weird you didn’t ask what I wanted first I was confused I brought her the exact order she always got at her favorite spot why would I need to ask another time Amelia and I went out for a nice dinner to celebrate her first promotion we were having a great time until she mentioned Liz thinks you should have let me pick the place she says you always take control of stuff like that I’d chosen the restaurant because it was a spot she’d been wanting to try for months but suddenly it felt like even doing something nice could be

twisted into a flaw Liz didn’t stop at my gestures she had plenty to say about my job too one night I was fixing a clogged sink in Amelia’s apartment when she mentioned offand Liz asked what you do for work today when I told her you own a plumbing business she said oh that’s cute cute owning a business isn’t cute it’s hard work and I’d built it from the ground up but that wasn’t even the worst part Amelia added she asked if I ever wished you did something more polished like in an office or something that one stung I knew I wasn’t some big

shot executive but I’d always been proud of what I did my business paid the bills and it was honest work still Amelia reassured me Liz is just blunt sometimes don’t take it personally but I could see lizz’s words starting to seep into Amelia’s thoughts Amelia started making little comments that felt out of character things like do you ever think about expanding your business into something bigger or have you ever thought about taking classes to learn more about business management on the surface they sounded like innoc

questions but paired with everything Liz had been saying they felt loaded it wasn’t just the comments though Liz had this way of inserting herself into our lives even when I wasn’t around for example Amelia told me about a work event where everyone brought their Partners I couldn’t make it because I had an emergency call from a regular client whose basement was flooding when Amelia mentioned why I wasn’t there Liz said see that’s the thing with guys like him their work always comes first Amelia said she stuck up for me but the seed

was planted later she asked do you think you’ll always have to handle emergencies like that what happens when we have kids someday Liz poison wasn’t just in the things she said it was in how she framed herself as the wise friend who knew better anytime Amelia and I had a disagreement Liz would swoop in with her unsolicited opinions if I forgot to text Amelia back right away Liz would say that’s a red flag communication is so important if I planned any kind of surprise Liz would ask don’t don’t you wish he’d ask for your input more it was

like she couldn’t stand the idea of us being happy one of the most blatant moments came when I helped Amelia move into a new apartment I spent the whole weekend hauling Furniture assembling shelves and fixing little things around the place Amelia thanked me but later mentioned Liz said it’s great that you’re so handy but she thinks it’s weird you didn’t hire movers she said it’s not worth risking your back over some boxes I was floored who criticizes someone for helping their girlfriend move what really got to me was how

Amelia started questioning herself and US she’d say things like do you think we’re too different or Liz says relationships like ours only work for so long I’d always reassure her reminding her of everything we’d built together but the more I tried to hold us together the more Liz seemed to be pulling us apart I can’t believe how much power Liz had over our relationship at the time I didn’t want to believe that someone could be so intentionally destructive but Liz wasn’t just some opinionated coworker she was a snake in the grass

and I didn’t realize how bad it was until it was too late then came the big night I had it all planned out that night was supposed to be the beginning of a new chapter for me and Amelia the woman I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with but instead it was the night everything fell apart we’d been dating for nearly a decade since high school through all the ups and downs I never doubted what we had so I decided it was time to take the next step I thought it would make Amelia feel safe after all the insecurities she’d been having I

bought the ring a month ago it wasn’t just flashy or overthe toop it was also thoughtful I’d made sure it was designed the way I wanted with both of our birth stones forming a heart in the center and small diamonds framing it there was even room to add Stones later for when we had kids I’d also made a custom box with two buttons one that lit up yes and another for no it was cheesy sure but it felt like us I wanted her to see how much thought I’d put into it how much I’d planned for our future that night I picked her up for dinner at a cozy

Italian spot she’d mentioned wanting to try I’d reserved a quiet table in the corner thinking it would be the perfect spot for the proposal I’d rehearsed what I was going to say a hundred times in my head the night started off fine she looked beautiful as always wearing this Emerald dress that matched the color of her eyes we talked about her work and my business and for a while it felt like old times but there was something off about her she was quieter than usual distracted almost like her mind was somewhere else halfway through the meal

I reached for the small box in my pocket my Palms were sweaty and my heart was pounding I was about to pull it out when she cleared her throat and said I need to talk to you about something I froze hands still in my pocket sure I said trying to keep my voice steady she looked down at her plate not at me and said I’ve been thinking a lot about us lately and I think we need to take a break I sat there stunned a break where was this coming from what do you do you mean a break I asked she finally looked up her eyes already watery I don’t know

if this is working anymore I feel like we’ve been drifting apart and I need time to figure out what I want she hesitated Liz says we’re mismatched she thinks I’m holding myself back the words hit me like a punch to the chest for a moment I couldn’t even speak this was the woman I’d spent nearly half my life with the woman I was planning to propose to that very night and now she was saying she didn’t know if she wanted me anymore I took a deep breath and pulled the box out of my pocket I didn’t open it just held it in my hand and looked at her do

you see this I said my voice calm but firm her eyes widened when she realized what it was is that yeah I said this is the ring I was going to give you tonight I was going to ask you to marry me Amelia to spend the rest of your life with me but now I shook my head you don’t deserve it she started to say something but I held up my hand to stop her no let finish I have spent years supporting you believing in you and building a future for us and this this is how you repay me by blindsiding me with some vague break crap over dinner

thank God you showed me your true colors before we got into anything more serious her face crumpled and I could see tears streaming down her cheeks but I didn’t care I stood up tucked the box back into my pocket and grabbed my jacket you want a break I said looking her dead in the eyes fine but don’t come crawling back to me when you realize what you’ve lost with that I turned and walked out of the restaurant leaving her sitting there at the table the drive home was a blur my mind was racing flipping through every

moment we’d shared and wondering where it had gone wrong how could she do this to me after everything I’d done for her everything we’d been through I kept telling myself I did the right thing by walking away by standing my ground I’d given her everything I had and if that wasn’t enough for her then that was her loss I wasn’t going to beg or chase after her I knew my worth and I wasn’t about to settle for someone who couldn’t see it I left the ring on the counter as a reminder not of her but of what I deserved a partner who

appreciated me who believed in me and who wouldn’t throw everything away on a whim I decided to distract myself the way everyone does these days by mindlessly scrolling through social media big mistake I opened Instagram expecting the usual flood of memes and food picks but in instead the first thing I saw was lizz’s story she’d posted a video of a party and at first it seemed harmless just people drinking dancing and laughing but then I saw her there was Amelia draped over some random guy clearly hammered he had his arm

around her waist pulling her clo like they were anything but strangers she was giggling leaning into him in a way that made my stomach churn I froze staring at the screen hoping I’d imagined it but no it was her and then I noticed something else I’d been tagged in the story Liz didn’t make it public she used that sneaky feature in Instagram where only the tagged person knows they’ve been tagged it was like she wanted to make sure I saw it without letting anyone else know for a moment I just sat there stunned I couldn’t believe what I was

seeing this was the same woman who told me just hours earlier that she needed a break to figure out what she wanted and now she was grinding on some random guy like the ink on her breakup speech wasn’t even dry I felt a wave of anger so strong it made my hands shake it wasn’t just about the guy or the party it was the fact that Liz of all people was behind this the same Liz who had spent months tearing me down planting doubts in Amelia’s head and criticizing everything I did now she was posting this garbage for me to see I didn’t even

know what to do with myself I closed Instagram put my phone down and just sat there staring at the Wall Part of Me wanted to call Amelia right then and there but I stopped myself she’d made her choice and and now I was seeing exactly what that choice looked like a few hours later my phone lit up with her name I ignored it at first but she kept calling 3 four five times in a row finally I picked up more out of curiosity than anything else hello I said keeping my voice cold babe please let me explain she sobbed I could hear

the panic in her voice I didn’t say anything letting her talk I didn’t know Liz would post that she cried it was a mistake it meant nothing I let out a bitter laugh a mistake you hooked up with some random guy right after breaking up with me that’s not a mistake Amelia it’s a choice a very deliberate Choice it wasn’t like that she pleaded I was drunk and Liz introduced me to him I didn’t even know what was happening until until what I cut her off until Liz decided to document it for the world to see you expect me to believe you didn’t

know what you were doing she manipulated me Amelia said her voice breaking hearing her to shift the blame just made me angrier you want to blame Liz now fine but you’re the one who let this happen you’re the one who decided that the best way to figure out what you want was to wrap yourself around some stranger that’s on you Amelia not Liz there was silence on the other end of the line for a moment I thought she’d hung up but then I heard her sniffle I’m sorry she whispered I was stupid and I don’t I interrupted don’t apologize you

don’t get to cry and say you’re sorry when you clearly knew what you were doing you made your bed now lie in it she started to say something else but I didn’t care I hung up and blocked her number I wasn’t in the mood to hear her excuses every time I thought about her voice the way she tried to twist things to make herself the victim I felt sick I couldn’t even be mad at the guy in lizz’s story he didn’t owe me anything but Amelia she was supposed to be my partner my ride or die seeing her act like our relationship meant nothing was

the final nail in the coffin the the next morning I woke up to a flood of texts and missed calls from our mutual friends I guess Amelia had told them what happened or maybe lizz’s Story made the rounds either way I wasn’t in the mood to explain myself I just sent a blanket message to a few close friends letting them know I was fine but needed space it wasn’t my job to manage anyone’s opinions about the situation I was drained and honestly just wanted to focus on moving forward so here I am Reddit have any of you been through

something like this I keep replaying everything in my head and wondering if I was too harsh but at the same time I can’t ignore how deliberate it all felt Amelia let Liz plant these ideas let her interfere in our relationship and then turned around and acted like she was powerless in the situation and Liz how do people like her even exist who goes out of their way to blow up someone else’s life just for fun I don’t know what the next step is part of me feels like cutting them both out of my life completely is the only way to protect my

sanity and am I wrong for being this cold about it or is this just what happens when people show you who they really are I’d love to hear your thoughts and I’ll keep you updated if anything else happens in the coming days update one hey Reddit first off I want to thank everyone for the advice support and yes even the sarcastic comments on my last post one of you said something like dude Liz sounds like she’s auditioning for America’s worst co-workers and honestly I laughed harder than I have in weeks you guys helped me

see that I wasn’t crazy for feeling the way I did so thanks for that sorry it’s taken me a while to update life’s been a lot between work sorting through my feelings about Amelia and some unexpected Health stuff we’ll get to that I’ve been stretched pretty thin but I’m here now so let’s dive in in the weeks after the breakup Amelia tried to reconnect she’d send these long texts apologizing saying she didn’t know what she was thinking and asking if we could meet up to talk things through I ignored her at first but she kept pushing

eventually I sent her a short response Amelia I’ve already said everything I needed to you made your choice and I’m moving on please respect that that should have been the end of it but it wasn’t she’d pop up out of nowhere liking old pictures on Instagram or trying to leave comments like miss this day I didn’t respond to any of it I’d already wasted enough energy on someone who didn’t value me and I wasn’t about to give her the satisfaction of knowing she still had access to my life now here’s where things take a turn about

two weeks ago I started feeling off just tired all the time with these weird dizzy spells that wouldn’t go away I chocked it up to stress from everything with Amelia and Liz but when I almost passed out at work I figured it was time to get checked out long story short I needed surgery it wasn’t anything super serious or life-threatening but it still wasn’t fun I wasn’t exactly thrilled about it but my friends and family were supportive my guys at work even took on extra shifts so I wouldn’t have to stress about the business while

recovering the surgery itself went fine and I woke up groggy but okay I was still coming out of it when I noticed someone sitting by my bed at first I thought it was one of my friends or family members but nope it was Liz let me set the scene for you I’m lying there in one of those awful hospital gowns barely able to keep my eyes open and Liz is sitting there like she’s my caretaker or something she had this concerned look on her face like we were best friends and she’d been worried sick about me oh my God I’m so glad you’re okay she said

leaning forward like we were some kind of cute couple I was too out of it to fully process what was happening but I managed to croak out what are you doing here she gave me this soft smile and said I heard you were in the hospital I just had to make sure you were all right had to Liz the same Liz who’d spent months trying to sabotage my relationship with Amelia yeah okay she kept talking saying things like I feel so bad about everything with Amelia you didn’t deserve that and you’re such a good guy she didn’t

know what she had it was like she was trying to rewrite history painting herself as the supportive friend who’d always been in my corner at one point she even reached out to hold my hand I didn’t pull away mostly because I was too tired to argue but I could feel the gears turning in her head Liz wasn’t here out of concern she was here because she saw an opportunity as I lay there half conscious everything started to click Liz had been scheming from the start the little comments she made to Amelia the constant criticisms of me the

way she inserted herself into our relationship it was all part of some Twisted plan and now with Amelia out of the picture she was trying to slide her way into my life it’s funny how clear Things become when you’re stuck in a hospital bed with nothing else to do but think Liz wasn’t just a bad friend or a toxic co-worker she was manipulative calculated and selfish she didn’t care about me or Amelia she cared about getting what she wanted no matter who she had to hurt along the way here’s the thing about people like Liz they think

they’re smarter than everyone else they think they can manipulate and scheme their way into whatever they want without anyone catching on but she underestimated me I have a plan for Liz I’m not going to say too much right now because I want to make sure it plays out exactly how I Envision it just know that once I’m fully recovered she’s going to learn what it feels like to be outplayed so stay tuned Reddit I’ll update you when the time is right let’s just say Liz might regret ever stepping foot into that hospital room thanks again for all

the support your advice has been a huge help and honestly reading your comments has kept me sane through all this I’ll be back soon with another update until then wish me a speedy recovery update 2 hey Reddit first of all wow the response to my last post was insane I didn’t expect so many of you to get invested in this whole situation but here we are thank you for the advice support and hilarious comments I saw someone say Liz sounds s like the type of person who’d fake being nice to adopt a cat just to post about it on Instagram and I

couldn’t agree more you guys really get me I know a lot of you wanted to know what my plan was so buckle up things played out almost exactly how I hoped and let me just say it was satisfying after I was discharged from the hospital and started feeling better Liz didn’t waste any time she texted me almost every day starting with these super casual just checking in messages stuff like hey hope you’re feeling okay or let me know if you need anything I’m here for you at first I ignored her I mean I wasn’t stupid I knew what she was doing

but after a while I realized that playing along might actually work in my favor so I started replying not too much just enough to keep her on the hook thanks for checking in I’m doing all right appreciate it recovery’s been slow but I’m getting there Liz ate it up her text got longer and more personal filled with things like you’re such a strong person and I don’t know how Amelia ever let you go she started dropping little hints about how she’d always thought I deserved better and how much she admired me at one point she even sent me a

picture of a casserole she’d made saying I’d love to bring this over if you’re up for company I declined obviously but it was clear she was trying to warm her way in the real shift happened about 2 weeks after I got out of the hospital Liz called me out of nowhere saying she’d just been thinking about me and wanted to hear my voice I could practically hear her laying it on thick talking about how worried she’d been during my surgery and how she’d prayed for me thanks Liz I said keeping my tone neutral that means a lot then she hit me

with I feel like this whole thing has brought us closer you know like it’s made me realize how much I care about you I almost laughed she didn’t care about me she cared about winning but instead of shutting her down I leaned into it yeah I guess it has I said that one sentence was all it took Liz went full throttle after that texting me constantly calling me babe in messages and even suggesting we hang out sometime soon the thing about Liz is that she’s predictable she thought she was being slick but everything she did just made

her intentions clearer it wasn’t about me it was about her ego she wanted to prove she could get me just like she’d tried to ruin what I had with Amelia so I let her think she was winning I started texting her back more often dropping compliments here and there and even agreeing to meet up at that point I knew she thought she had me wrapped around her finger when we finally hung out Liz was all over me she kept touching my arm laughing at every little thing I said and dropping hints about how much she valued honesty and loyalty

in a relationship it was honestly exhausting to watch her try so hard but I played along eventually one thing led to another and yeah we hooked up I’m not proud of it but it was part of the plan the next morning I didn’t text her back or the day after that or the day after that Liz of course started blowing up my phone hey everything okay did I do something wrong can we talk she called me at least a dozen times left voicemails and even sent me a few messages on Instagram by the end of the week I had a collection of frantic texts

and missed calls from her all begging me to give her a chance that’s when I made my move I screenshotted every single text she sent me along with a few of the voicemails where she was practically sobbing about how much she cared about me then I sent them to Amelia in one big batch no explanation no message just the screenshots once they were delivered I blocked them both on everything I know some of you are probably thinking dude that’s harsh but hear me out Liz had been playing games with my life for months tearing apart my relationship and

manipulating everyone around her by sending those screenshots to Amelia I wasn’t trying to get her back or start drama I just wanted the truth to come out Amelia needed to see who Liz really was and how far she was willing to go to get what she wanted I wanted Amelia to see what she’d thrown our relationship for and honestly blocking Liz felt incredible I felt like I was in control again like I wasn’t just reacting to the chaos she caused now I’m sitting back and watching The Fallout Liz wanted control and instead I turned the tables

Amelia and Liz might have their own Reckoning to deal with now but I’m done playing their games and Trust Me Reddit this isn’t the last you’ll hear from me let me recover fully I’ll give them both time to process and feed you with the update soon update three hey Reddit I promised I’d keep you updated and oh boy things escalated fast apparently my little move sending all of lizz’s frantic messages to Amelia set off a chain reaction I couldn’t have planned better if I tried here’s what I heard through the grap Vine Amelia didn’t take

kindly to finding out that Liz her supposed friend had been scheming behind her back she confronted Liz at work and things went from zero to 100 real quick from what I’ve been told it started with Amelia demanding an explanation asking Liz why she’d tried to sabotage our relationship and then swoop in after the breakup Liz being Liz tried to play innocent she claimed I was the one pursuing her and that Amelia was overreacting but Amelia wasn’t buying it someone who works with them told me the argument got so loud that the manager

had to step in but it didn’t stop there apparently Amelia called Liz out in front of their co-workers accusing her of being manipulative and trying to ruin her life Liz fired back and before anyone could stop them things got physical I don’t have all the details but I know it ended with both of them being escorted out by security the aftermath they were both fired honestly I don’t feel bad for either of them Liz got exactly what she deserved and Amelia well I can’t say she’s completely innocent in all this either she let Liz

worm her way into our relationship and by the time she realized how toxic Liz was the damage was already done I I don’t know what’s next for them but I’m staying far far away from the drama I feel like I’m finally in a place where I can breathe anyway that’s all for now thanks for sticking with me through this mess I’ll keep you posted if anything else comes up but for now I’m just enjoying the piece update four hey Reddit it’s been a while and honestly I thought I’d have nothing left to share I figured the whole Liz and Amelia drama

was over and I could finally just move on with my life but of course people like them don’t go quietly a week after The Fallout at their job Amelia showed up at my door she looked like a mess eyes puffy from crying hair thrown up in a lazy bun like she didn’t even bother trying to look put together Liz planted all those doubts she said she made me think you weren’t good enough but it was all her I see that now please let’s fix this I just stood there letting her talk I wasn’t angry anymore I was done when she finally stopped I told her Amelia I

gave you everything and you threw it away you let someone like Liz tear us apart and now you want to come back I can’t do this anymore I’ve moved on she begged even cried but I didn’t budge I wished her the best and closed the door the very next day as if on Q Liz tried her luck she sent me this long text first from a random account I didn’t recognize saying how sorry she was and how she’d made mistakes but was willing to do whatever it took to make things right I ignored it so she showed up uninvited all smiles and fake sweetness

I know I messed up she started but I know you care about me we could make this work I see that now I didn’t even let her finish I looked her dead in the eye and said you both made your choices now live with them then I walked back inside and shut the door in her face that was the last time I saw either of them since then life has been peaceful my business is thriving I’ve even expanded it and hired more people I’ve been spending more time with my friends and focusing on myself which has been long overdue and yeah I’ve started

dating someone new she’s amazing down to earth kind and most importantly she actually appreciates me for who I am she doesn’t care that I run a plumbing business instead of sitting behind a fancy desk in some corporate office she’s supportive honest and makes me feel like I’m enough exactly as I am as for Amelia and Liz last I heard they’re both still jobless and blaming each other for everything mutual friends say they barely speak now and when they do it’s just to throw insults I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little amused by

the irony of it all they destroyed each other trying to come after me and I walked away without a scratch if I’ve learned anything from all this it’s that you’ve got to pay attention to the people you let into your life not just your partner but their friends too sometimes the wrong influences can do more damage than you realize and for anyone who’s been through something similar find someone who values you for who you are not for who they think you should be don’t settle for someone who listens to people like Liz or lets

doubts creep in because of someone else’s opinion you deserve better than that life’s good now and I plan to keep it that way thanks for sticking with me through this Wild Ride Reddit here’s to better days ahead
