I found out my boyfriend was cheating in MY apartment… and my roommate was helping him do it

I don’t know how I didn’t see it sooner, but the way I found out still makes my stomach twist. My boyfriend and I weren’t living together officially, but he stayed over constantly. He had a key, clothes in my drawer, the whole thing. I paid most of the rent, utilities, everything, so honestly, it felt like my place that he just happened to stay at.

About a month ago, I started noticing little things that didn’t add up. My comforter looked like someone had been lying on it. My perfume bottle kept moving. A hair tie I didn’t recognize was under my bed. I asked my roommate once if she noticed anything weird and she brushed it off SO quickly it felt unnatural.

I didn’t think cheating yet… but I definitely felt like something was off.

Then the actual discovery happened.
My shift at work got cut early, so I came home around 2 PM instead of 6. I walked into the apartment and instantly felt that someone was here. You know that feeling when the air changes? I can’t describe it, but I knew.

I opened my bedroom door and there he was, in my bed with another girl.
Not hugging or talking
FULLY cheating.
I caught them in the act.

My roommate was sitting on the couch pretending to scroll on her phone like she didn’t just let them in 20 minutes earlier. Later I found out she’d been helping him sneak this girl in whenever I wasn’t home. She literally texted him updates like “she just left” or “you’re good.”

I can’t believe someone who lived under my roof chose HIS side over mine.

The worst part? I’d been trying so hard to get my life in order, budgeting better, rebuilding my credit after a late payment last year. I’ve been doing everything to be responsible and stable… and meanwhile they were using my apartment like some cheap motel.

I kicked him out immediately. Told my roommate she had 30 days.

I still can’t believe they did this IN MY OWN ROOM, with her helping him like it was normal.
It feels worse than cheating, it feels like a full betrayal from two people at once.

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

 So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...

Fall in love with me.

 In every moment, through highs and lows, my love for you remains unwavering. No matter what life throws at us, I want you by my side . Let's face everything together, carry each other's burdens, and keep our love strong Whether times are good or bad, I selfishly want you by my side. I just want us to stay together in 2024, like we used to, filled with love and adventures. We know the timing wasn't great, so let's be patient and wait for things to get better. Our connection, first kiss, and love experiences are special. I've never been as comfortable with anyone else as I am with you. Everything we do together feels new and exciting. We both know finding something like us is rare. I don't know how many times you've ignored my messages, but at least I am an older than you. I feel a responsibility to make you happy or correct some of your immature thoughts. Sometimes, being older is a good option. All I'm going to say is I love you and I will. Ignore me, b...

To the person who read this

To the person who read this, It’s been hard for you, I know, and it makes me sad that you don’t see yourself in the way I see you. Sometimes they are things in life that cause us to loose ourselves, and the way you have is so unimaginable painful. I miss your smile, the way your eyes light up the whole room just by the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you accepted the way you look in the mirror without cursing yourself out about how ugly you look. I miss the way you didn’t think of yourself as a failure because everyone makes mistakes, we all have flaws and we all aren’t perfect. It’s painful to see that no one around you seems to see the pain trough your eyes, but, stranger, I do, I see how heavy your heart is and how comforting the sadness for you might be, how afraid your heart is of happiness because it disappears in the end, right? You don’t know how much impact you have in this world and it’s sad to see that your demons fight against you and want to take over you. Because y...
