hey hey hey time for the out of this world story from ourspace so what do you do when your partner's family likes their ex more than you today on our space it's just some friendly competition girlfriend went on a family vacation against my wish and cheated on me I dumped her and made her life miserable I 37 M have been dating this woman 32 female call her Amelia for over 5 years known for eight she was working at our client company we met during an office event and happened to work together for a few months
back then she was dating her childhood best friend I was also seeing someone casually nothing happened between us except that we followed each other on social media 2 years later we again got the opportunity to work together and this time she was single they had broken up mutually as he moved out of the country for his PG and got settled there I was also single and after working together for a few months one thing led to another and I asked her out and we started dating I changed my job job shortly after that because my
company had strict rules about no dating with client employees it's been 5 years since then and we have been living together for 4 years we have met each other's families she often tags along with me to my parents they absolutely adore her sadly I cannot say the same for hers I still feel disconnected from her parents they're just cold and weird she has this little ritual kind of thing in her family where every year they go on a week-long vacation together just immediate family they were strict about it no boyfriends or girlfriends allowed at least
that's what I had always been told she's always excited for this trip and they've been following this since they were small their two siblings and their father was not that well off yet he ensured they went for One Vacation every year they continued to follow it even after they grew up and moved out no matter where they are and what the situation is they take one trip together every year when she told me about it I was fascinated it's rare to find such a family bond these days until this year I didn't mind her going
for the trip and completely forget about my existence I gave her the space however this has started bothering me I mean we've gotten more serious that we haven't made it official yet we're planning our future together talking about our engagement and finances and other important stuff I have been wondering why was I still treated like an outsider we had been together for 5 years should I be considered family by now a week ago she took me to her parents anniversary where they were enthusiastically talking about the upcoming trip I asked them about the details and
I realized they were holding back especially her sister I casually asked them if I could also join and they unanimously said no as if it was such a big deal I was obviously embarrassed seeing me flustered her father tried to intervene saying don't get us wrong you guys are yet to call it official relationships these days are so fragile we don't want to invest emotionally before it's final it was cryptic though I got the message he tried to convey I wasn't clear about his intent I mean what big deal if I tag along and later
we break up it's not that I'll take the family secrets with me felt like they didn't want me to know the details as if I was some kind of Outsider who shouldn't know about their secret mission Amelia was in the kitchen when this conversation happened as soon as she came back her sister informed her with a smug face that I wanted to join them for the vacation to my surprise she freaked out she looked at me with utmost disbelief as if I had done a serious crime I tried to justify saying I had just asked
if I could join not that I packed my bag and followed you I don't think it was an unreasonable request she immediately shot me down looking genuinely startled that I even asked and snapped no you can't come this trip is just for the family you're yet to become one her words hit me like a slap not family yet 5 years together and I was still just a plus one someone on the sidelines without saying a word I stormed out and drove off she followed me home which led to a blowup argument she Gass at me
that I ruined her parents anniversary by storming out what did she expect I stand there and take her their BS I confronted her about my my apprehensions regarding their vacation I found it to be very mysterious what was it that they were so protective about surprisingly she calmly sat me down and explained that it was a non-negotiable family time and they didn't want their Partners to take away the attention off their parents she Justified that it was just one trip where all four of them gave undivided attention to each other to make me feel better
she added that her sister's boyfriend was also not allowed it pissed me off more because her sister never had a permanent boyfriend her relationship never lasted more than a year even her present boyfriend had been around for just a few months yet I was being compared to her flings our fight got really nasty and I didn't want to get down any further so I just left and hit the sack it's been 2 days we're not on talking terms she tried several times to discuss the matter however I didn't indulge the thing is I'm not feeling
good about the whole stuff not only their vacation but the way they sidelined me yes we're not engaged yet but boy we've been together for 5 years doesn't that count on top of this there's one more thing that has been bothering me a lot her ex's parents both families have been friends for decades and his parents are always part of these events I had seen them at birthdays family barbecues Christmas dinners her cousin's wedding and even at random weekend Gatherings they were more involved than I am and I'm her boyfriend it's so odd right I
always have this itchy feeling about their presence but she assured me that their past was over and that their family simply remained friends which has nothing to do with Amelia or her ex in all these years her ex never showed up in any of these gatherings and is out of the country maybe that's why I didn't make a huge fuss about this until now I can't stop them from being friends with Amelia's parents but I'm not comfortable that Amelia hangs out with her ex's parents this needs to stop either she needs to tell her family
that she wasn't comfortable with this setup or she should distance herself from her parents I mean yes her parents are her priority but so am I if I don't feel valued at her place or with her family what's the point of being with her she's she's dismissing my feelings and calling me ridiculous and paranoid she's saying it's just one trip and I shouldn't make a big deal out of it she's assuring me that I have nothing to worry about but I'm not feeling secure I do feel manipulated what do you guys think am I being
crazy something doesn't smell right here you've been with a milar for 5 years you live together you've discussed finances and engagement but somehow you're still not welcome yeah okay the math ain't mathing update one looks like I wasn't crazy she's a cheater after engaging in this community I was convinced that I can't let this pass I told her I wasn't comfortable being sidelined and if she was really serious about her future then I'm going to tag along I literally gave her an option either I go with them or we're ending this no I wasn't being
needy I didn't even want to go I was just testing how far she would go to trade off our relationship for the sake of their stupid vacation she called me childish and tried to Gaslight the situation and turned it around on me I was adamant that you can call me whatever you want I'm not going to back down until I dug deep into that trip crap after multiple rounds of fights she finally agreed to talk to her parents about this I was like very well let's see what happens next meanwhile one evening she left her
phone unlocked and went to shower I jumped into the opportunity and snooped right into it my fingerprints were not added to her phone but after a few tries I was able to guess the lock pattern I wasn't too proud of stooping that low but I'm glad I did it I discovered something very heinous I went straight into her family chat group to see what talk she had been having with them after we fought over vacations she had told them I wanted to go and her family had freaked out her mom had replied no you have
to stop him he can't come he's going to ruin everything she told them that I was becoming a pain in the butt and wanted to break up if she didn't listen to me to this her sister said good for you right with tons of confusing emoticons I have no idea what they mean then there was one text where she said I can't do this I'm Happ happy with him my name and her father replied you promised to give it a shot take a call after the trip I didn't understand the conversation fully so I took
as many pictures as I could to read it later then the trip itinerary caught my eye which her sister had shared I quickly transferred to my phone I checked her Gallery emails and other folders but found nothing at all I wiped off all the evidence of tampering and kept the phone back later after she went to bed I opened the trip itinerary and the hotel booking blew my mind five rooms booked one in the name of her parents one for milia and her sister one for Ryan her ex and one for his parents so her
ex and his parents were also a part of the trip but I'm not I was seething with anger I felt as if someone punched me in the guts and I was sweating so badly that I felt I would collapse right away it was no longer about the vacation anymore she was cheating on me and her entire family knew about it I didn't confront her I didn't Rage or argue instead I shut down emotionally I wanted to walk out of the relationship right there but something in me wanted to hurt her as badly as I was
hurt I decided to remain quiet and plan my revenge we were anyway fighting so it would be easier to pretend like nothing happened but it wasn't easy at all I couldn't bear to see her face without feeling disgusted the next day after she went to work I packed my Essential stuff and checked into a hotel I felt I had already moved on from this relationship yes I had mentally checked out already the way she had acted about the whole vacation thing and how she sidelined me I had decided to break up with her and this
truth was the last nail in the coffin I texted her that I was going on a week-long work trip and she could have a peaceful vacation with her family she barely questioned it and instead replied with a love-filled voice note it was best for her that I backed off on my own I lived in the hotel until she left immediately started looking out for a place to crash in temporarily the moment she left for the airport I went back home packed up my stuff moved everything into storage I went back to the hotel for the
first 4 days of her trip I barely heard from her no calls just the occas obligatory text miss you babe hope you're having a good week but then on the fifth day she sent me this long emotional message about how much she loved me how she couldn't wait to marry me and have kids for the next few hours she blasted my phone with calls and romantic messages professing her fake love I ignored all of it it meant nothing to me they went for a 7-day trip but surprisingly on the sixth day I got a panic
call which I blissfully ignored then she sent me this voicemail I'm home where the hell are you where's all your stuff she came a day early and was shocked to see The Empty Apartment after like dozens of texts and calls I replied I left something for you at the kitchen counter it wasn't a breakup letter oh no that would have been too easy it was a demand notice every single penny I'd spent on her gifts jewelry vacations her share of the rent and utilities on some months I'd listed it all out down to the gosh
darn scent and I wanted it back I added the note saying maybe you could ask Ryan to fot it in for you I'm sure he wouldn't mind after the 7-Day free f you gave her next voicemail was please give me a chance to explain it's not what you think I didn't cheat with howlings and begging after enjoying a bit of it I replied settle the money if you have any ounce of self resect I know I can't claim that money legally but emotionally definitely yes she brags about being an independent woman who can pay her
own bills sure here we go pay what you owe me she begged me to listen to her once before deciding anything but I blocked her and said I have moved on and I'll only entertain emails that are related to the money she owed me after a week she emailed that she can't pay it all at once and needed time I responded maybe you should increase your per session rate since then it has been silent no emails 2 days back she sent me all the money she owed me and suddenly I'm feeling Rich you know what
I'm going to do with that money I'm traveling to the Mal Dives the amount can cover a week-long luxury trip to a private Island Resort I can't tell you how happy and free I'm feeling I was stuck in that relationship not being able to move on I always used to feel that something is not not fitting well and see my instincts were true she was seeing her ex behind my back and her whole effing family knew about it when I first uncovered the truth it was so humiliating and pathetic that I wanted to bury my
head in the ground glad I didn't let her walk all over me and now I'm happily planning my luxurious vacation that text from her dad straight up confirmation that you were just a placeholder while she played house with her ax you trusting your instincts wasn't paranoia it was self-respect kicking in enjoyed them all stes op you earned every second of that luxury update two here's an update on this one clarification I'm not proud of but all the below the belt insults that I threw at her I'm not the kind of person who abuses this woman
but I'm also not the man who stands and takes BS I'm not very proud of what I told her but she wasn't a saint either after I came back from my vacation I have visitor at my office yes it was Amelia she had been chasing me to meet her once but I had blocked her from everywhere hence she came down to my workplace where I had to meet her I wanted to chase her out but she pleaded with me for one last talk apparently she wanted to confess something I gave her a chance since I
knew nothing would change my mind what I got to know was the cherry on my revenge cake first of all she had maxed out on both her credit cards on her trip so she had to take out a loan to pay me back that alone made me a week according to her the truth was her ex had moved back to town after her parents had been pushing her to consider him again he had come back from abroad successful doing well for himself her parents set up the vacation so she could clear her head and decide
between us their parents are friends hence they all feel it's better that Amelia is married to her ex can you imagine what sort of family are they she and her parents used me when her ex was away and now that he's back she curled up to him fine it's her choice but she has no right to keep me in the dark she could just be honest with me instead of playing these sturdy game she tried to pin all the blame on her parents that it was they who manipulated her to give it a shot I
was like okay why are you so desperate to confess this to me you did what you did and it's over she wanted to assure me that nothing happened between them and that it was just talking and understanding each other to see if they could rekindle their thing in her words yes she lied but didn't cheat why because they didn't f it was so bizarre to know her stand about cheating I laughed at her face and said are you kidding me you went on vacation with your ex and you're claiming nothing happened you want believe this
BS how old do you think I am she sobbed and confessed I swear it was just one kiss I was thinking about you all the time after being with him I realized how loving and caring you are I never want to hurt you I realized on that trip that I love you BS she realized she loved me on the fifth day of the trip what changed I asked her with a smug and that explains that long paragraph or was it a guilt of a rough sex and then she told me something which added up everything
on the fifth day she walked in on her sister making out with Ryan that's what triggered the sudden desperate love text to me not guilt not loyalty just the fact that her ex was already effing her own sister the text was not because she loved me it was because she saw the true color of her ex the funny part was her sister and Ryan Justified it to be a casual make out as Emilia was still not committed to him can you imagine how twisted everything is Ryan promised to be loyal to her once she dumped
me and went back to him until then he had needs that her sister was fulfilling them the weird part is her sister also has a boyfriend who has no clue what's happening in that so-called family vacation hearing all this I couldn't stop laughing she plead with me to give it one last chance for the sake of five long years of relationship I asked her did you honor a relationship if you did you wouldn't have agreed to your parents advice about getting back with your ex you would have told me about this at the very moment
when your parents suggested the idea but you hid everything from me I won't buy your BS that you were forced or tricked into this what are you a 5-year-old no you did everything in your senses the truth is you were also swayed by his fancy job and fat paycheck he makes more than me doesn't he she started crying and begging me to forget everything and start fresh I said it's too late that ship has sailed she held my hands and asked me to forgive her I Shrugged her off and stormed out of the waiting room
when she left I was wondering why she wanted to get back with me she can happily hop on with her ex right but no I lat her got the reason I contacted at her sister's boyfriend and told him everything the guy came down to meet me he said he also found the whole vacation stuff to be so weird the way they keep it a secret makes it sound so shady and now we know the reason why the guy had no clue that his girlfriend was effing her sister's would be boyfriend or whatever I don't know
he thanked me and said he was going to break up with her right away I was like man run as fast as you can a few weeks later I got a call from him again he informed me that Amelia's sister and Ryan were officially dating what the f I cracked up on hearing the news I could only imagine Amelia's misery she wanted to have two birds with in the bush but lastly got none she lost her long-term stable relationship for her greed and at the end she lost even that I only thank my stars for
