Edit - Someone just showed me her new boyfriend, aannnd karma is real, justice has been served let's say lmao. Again, remember this was a year ago. The point of the video isn't about getting back at anyone, I've moved passed it. This video is to show what it looks like to get gaslit, and how easy it can be to believe you're in the wrong when you're the one who's been wronged, especially when you don't have a group of people around to remind you you're not crazy. Just remember it's easy to comment what I 'should have immediately done when x happened' when you can watch from a distance. It's also easy when you've had time to process the situation. Hindsight is 2020. Chances are - I've already read all of your 'suggested books' 🙂
Hey Joshua, that's a really rough story. I went through a similar situation. My newly broken up with gf and my good friend who was also my roommate and business partner got together. They never told me they were together, always pretended they had other reasons to be hanging out... At the time I got pretty depressed - felt like a loser for being betrayed by the 2 people that I had chosen to be closest to me in the world. Later they ended up getting married - still never said anything to me about it. Anyway I hear some of that pain in your story. And I'm sorry you feel like you need to justify your side of things so much on the video and to tell people to not beat you with "advice" in the comments. All the internet talk of "you just gotta x." to ensure your relationship, or to stay in control is BS. It's avoiding genuine connection. With real connection you get pain too. You gotta process your pain. On the other side of it, you have new awareness and understandings of what you want and don't want and more importantly your real worth. You're doing great Joshua. You give a lot of value and entertainment - and now emotional connection to a lot of people. Your hard work, even mind, and ability to be vulnerable will take you far. Good people will come into your life too. Take good care
Man this guy has been through some shit. Never had a relationship with his father while growing up, got into a bad marriage and had to get divorced, family didn't even show up to his marriage, disowned by his family because he wouldn't pay their rent and drug habit anymore after they were freeloading off of him for 5 years, girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend. Dude, you've survived some crazy stuff, and you kept going, you're strong, and I hope you're doing well now.
It's those of us who go through that crazy shit that inevitably end up winning the most in the end. I have a smilar story (except cheating gf, that would be a cherry on top 🤣) but none the less I was homeless, got my class a CDL, drove for somebody, and now I drive for myself, I have more money then I know what to do with so I just save and live a modest lifestyle, minimalistic if you would, hoping someday I find a woman that's worth starting a family with.
@@tandem863 What does it mean then? This makes it seem like the man is the victim, like you were not good enough for her, when in fact, he's the real winner.
I feel your pain, brother. My wife divorced me, the next year my mom died, the next my dad , the next my sister. I’ve been through a lot and your story resonates. 🇺🇸
I'm wondering how long after the break From the Norwegian girl that he was married to, did this girl in the video come into his life, and I think after all her red flags that surfaced... after the grave period, he should have kicked her out once he saw her true colors, let alone get it to the point where she was bossing him around at home, or to where she and his ex-best friend was getting too close.
@@uppymcdowny58 It's abusive, because if you're not in love and looking at it from the outside you go 'Oh, well, that's fucking easy... I'll just walk away if that happens.' But if you're IN love, it's suddenly 90,000 times as fucking hard. And the person using the sex/affection as a weapon against you KNOWS this. It's just straight up fucking abuse, period. I don't care what anybody says. If someone is doing this to you, they're abusing you.
I keep wondering what she looked like. I had a friendship with a timid, nerdy girl who worked as a teacher's assistant and she not only dragged along multiple guys, angered one of them, angered the family of another after spending many holidays with them, was dying to date the only one of them who was not interested and gaslit me by calling me her "best friend", while she had short relationships on the side to do everyone knows what. I think I actually was her best friend, because in the end she never got along with anyone and was flaky to everyone. She then joined a religious movement and is still having a honeymoon with them after four years, because they are relatively well educated and connected and present everything they do as very special.
She did you a favor. Can you imagine if you married her, had a house, kids. You'd be paying out for LIFE. In fact, they both did you a huge favor. You dodged a massive bullet bro.
@@nik___.8127 If she got knocked up, marriage could have been a real possibility along with questionable paternity. I have witnessed my buddy go through this. JF dodged a major bullet....a fuck your life up for decades type of bullet.
As good as this video is and as much as I appreciate him sharing this. It’s good to know someone has gone through something similar to you BUT it won’t stop it from happening to you. This shit happens. A lot. It’s just nice to create a space where people who have been through something like this can feel less alone.
I enjoy the sharing but would not like to make my way in the world "Hey I am victimized". People love filming themselves. I guess we love watching but I have had my fill of internet racers and quiet quitters. Just say your peace and move on. Having it broadcasted all over the world and getting currency for it keeps this in place.
Completely agree, a buddy of mine that I’ve been friends with for nine years decided that it was a good idea to start flirting and talking each other while we’re dated then 2 months later these 2 decided to date, meanwhile while my suspicions where high my buddy kept lieing until the Guilt pressured him into tell me the truth, so I understand bro and I feel for ya
My ex fiance cheated with my best friend. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I shed two backstabbing people and now several years later I am way better off in every way.
@@Spilkyy I wish I knew. I guess it's just an ugly side to the human condition. My friend at the time was my child hood best friend of 15 years (10 years old to 25 years old). I trusted him completely and would have never dreamed that our friendship would have ended that way.
My ex-gf (diagnosed narcissist) broke up with me at an airport on a trip we planned together. Days later, she was with someone in this community of friends that I had introduced her to. This community was something I had been a part of since about 10 years old. She whispered all kinds of rumors saying that I had abused her, broke into her house, threatened to stab here and God knows what else. It became very clear something was up when people started to look at me differently and treat me differently. I ended up being cyber bullied, received a sex tape from my ex and had 'meme's made about me circulating over social media and all kinds of stuff. Long story short, I left that group that had now become toxic and moved state to start a new life. I completed a Master's degree with a high distinction, got a well playing job, promoted twice in under 18 months to a manager type position, and became a self-made millionaire through some of my side hustles. My ex...who knows, who cares? :P
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Usually when the parents treat you as the proxy sin/daughter it means they know their kid is horrible and they want to let you know they respect you as parents.
There is never a friend nor relationship. It was all beautiful I have been thinking of doing something like this too. This is the most honest real video I ever watched. I hope that you will NEVER be mean to anyone. I too don't trust anyone. Just take your time. I don't ever want a relationship nor am I looking for one. Just keep friends or acquaintance of people it works better. If you don't want to be with them anymore no strings attached just move on. Thank you for your pureness.
The moment you said your GF cheated with one of your closest friends through your life, that you used to play Halo together as little children, I knew the betrayal was unforgivable
well he was friends with someone like that to begin with and also went along with his antics. Maybe one day Josh will grow up and learn to have good moral principles not only for himself but the other people that he lets into his life.
@@Sei1989 Point taken but sometimes you don't necessarily have such a clear head about people close to you who you grew up with and have known for a long time. We all make bad decisions sometimes when we trust friends or family when maybe a more objective person would not make the same mistake.
They were. This is what happens when you’re okay letting your gf be an emotional support buddy for another man. Her instincts to make it right will kick in, his instincts to take flesh kicked in as well. Either way, I think he should be thankful they showed him who they truly were.
What Not To Do At a Stoplight When we are all older and psychology has advanced, we will have the full playbook on how narcissism works and hopefully our kids will be able to see it better.
Definitely that girlfriend and that so called friend are losers and don't deserve the attention or respect from Joshua. She perpetrated a lot along with that friend.
@lukesfx There's a lot more than that to take away from his story. His childhood "friend" for a start totally gaslighting him and the obviously very manipulative girlfriend. I think it's a good warning to youngsters out there who are getting gaslit or going through similar shit. You can call him whatever names but I take my hat off to him. The betrayal from his buddy was probably harder to take than any of the girl's shit.
lukesfx But the main point of this video was about the gaslight from his ex-gf and ex-bestfriend... He's just telling us, the audience, to be aware of getting gaslighted since there are people who will believe that it was their fault even though it wasn't.
Although it's been over 2 years since you posted this, I'm so glad that you did. I am going through a similar situation. Never have I ever been so humiliated and hurt by somebody I've known for over 15 years. I guess I should've seen it coming tho. I've learnt from this experience and I'm starting to grow as a person. When you keep yourself onto a certain standard and have respect for yourself, you will require the same things from other people. I hope this makes sense. Good luck man, hope you're doing well.
@@ПавелШаламов-ж3д i think they meant it in the same vain as "honest to a fault" Im also honest to a naive degree because I genuinely dont realize if im overdisclosing.
Dude, I’ve been there brother, it takes serious balls to go on a huge public forum and pour your heart out like this. I don’t know you, and I stumbled apon your video by accident, but I’m proud of you dude.
All the shit you've been through dude and you've still managed to build a business/successful TH-cam channel that's growing every day. It's great to see. What a guy.
He can share it with someone it just has to be the right person. The red flags were there from the beginning. He knows it and hindsight is 20/20. He'll be smarter next time and he won't ignore the red flags.
This guy for sure keeps it real! He doesnt have to say these things, but he probably doesnt have many ppl close to talk to but his subscribers. He being open is actually a brave thing
She didn't cheat he said he didn't want to have children or get married, and she could move out he didn't care about her anyway, she was just a fuck buddy to him . no commitment just sex lol nah a halfway decent looking girl never puts up with that shit. They were not wanting the same things and he fed her to the wolves. Its not cheating if you are not engaged or married.
@@marizensoul8410 WAW!!! Great logic, 'its not cheating if you are not cheating if you are not engaged or married' Wait lemme guess, you have cheated before
@@ctcamara if this doesn't consume her with guilt everytime it crosses her mind shes even more evil and needs to be btch slapped even more then just for what she did but because of who she is!! She should feel like the pig she is and his friend got another girl to use it should make her realize her value but instead she wanted him back
She said that contacting her friend whom you had met multiple times was creepy. Yet, she went how far? To meet your best friend whom she had never met. She's the creep.
double standards .. bitches complain, there's no future with a girl like that. there are women in the world who apreciate you for who you are and how you think. those women who fight for love and have the power to say sorry when they are mistaken. Find a girl who knows about empathy and respect otherwise u just losing your time with the looks.
LMAO something to that extend happen to me too. Told a girl that I had slight crush on...her flying all the way from PA to MA to hang out with a guy she has only met one summer was crazy. She had just graduated high school. She told me that I was immature I was a year younger than her. Fast forward ten years she's with some dude has multiple kids, don't know if those kids have the same Daddy or not nor do I care. :)
Thanks for the story. Like others have said makes me feel less alone. 11 yrs together. We moved to multiple cities and states for school. Both finished. Started a successful business. Bought a big house for kids. Looked like we were over the hump ready to live life then boom. She books a flight to North Carolina (lol) and wants divorce. The hardest part is letting go of the future you had imagined.
@@ryanwatchel9809 But men, in general, are not better. Sure, a small number of close friends might be. But most men also only care about how they can benefit from you - your time, money, effort etc. Different game, same rules. Do you believe your boss cares about you? And why do you think so many guys lose friends after they have an accident and end up in a wheelchair? Trust me, men aren't any better. You're just biased because you're sexually attracted to women.
A really long time ago a girl did similiar thing to me and i too was blind to see it. It wasn't with a friend but i remember the pain and it completely destroyed me. Just like Josh here, she came back later but i wasn't having any of it and I had already met a new girl. I loved when the tables turned. I think that was the last time i cried for a woman, that ex made me into this cold man and learned to never fall too in love with anyone. Looking back at it, it was for the best cause we were too young anyway, now "married" with kids and a dog my life wouldn't be where its at now had that not happened. I hope you find someone new buddy but this story really resonates with me and well now i wouldnt put up with any of that shit of course.
Josh, bro. I was you but I married mine. It was the worst and most expensive decision of my life. After providing her a beautiful home and 2 boys, nice cars. As I type, Im back at my parents at 50. Despite her cheating, she got it all. She also withheld sex from me. She was such a narcissist - gaslighting, I ignored my attorney because of my instinct to care for my family, like fanthom limb. I lost it all, contemplated suicide. Im so bitter now. You dodged a bullet my friend. Trust me.
eastlake93 Please don’t be upset brother, I know you’re going through hard times but try to meditate and find inner peace, there is still love, faith and joy within you, time will heal your wounds

I found him last week. Cycling through older content - what a ride. He's doing so well now, it's amazing what cutting out the dead weight does for you.

It's called "branch swinging" when women do that. That's why she didn't explicitly break up with you. You were plan B in case plan A failed and she had to swing back.

Hi, JOSH ! I'm a 60 year old guy who's gonna ask you to look at this situation just a 'little' differently. Next time you see your 'friend' or 'girlfriend', you go right up to them and THANK THEM PROFUSELY !! You tell them that you could never thank them enough for their help in helping you avoid what could've been the WORST DECISION of my life. Tell them "OMG ! Can you BELIEVE that I ALMOST made this woman part of my family ?? THANK YOU SO MUCH for keeping me from spending even ONE MORE DAY with this woman as my 'girlfriend' and THIS asshole as my 'long time friend'.
Hey Joshua, Thanks for the video. I hope it brings comfort to you that you’re not alone, I went through EXACTLY what you did. However I was much more heavily invested. 16 years/4 children. From the deception, the gaslighting, the confusion, the self-doubt. I’m in tears just writing this. I understand you, the way we still explain ourself from their accusations because we’re afraid some people might buy it. I’m glad you’re doing well. Many of us don’t make it. It’s time we move on, the person we thought they were died a long time ago.
I'm a 22 year old woman with Asperger's Syndrome and was bullied a lot as a child. I empathize with him completely. I have never had any romantic relationships and am quite inexperienced socially, but I know what it is like to be betrayed. It happened to me in middle school when a couple of so-called "friends" of mine turned on me suddenly. Then the entire class followed as well. I chose to isolate myself almost totally and eventually this led to severe depression and a hospitalization at the age of 18. In high school I joined no clubs and chose to primarily keep to myself. I graduated one year later than I was supposed to. Much healing has been done, and I'm doing well, but even now I still find it be open to others, and I'm 22 now.

Dude this is hurting my heart. My wife wife did the exact same thing with a mutual church friend of ours. I would never have though in one millions years that my christian wife was capable of such evil things. I am getting goose bumps just listening to your story. My ex-wife flew away on new years 2016 to meet some friends but I contacted those friends and found out that they had no idea what I was taking about. My world shattered that day and it took me years to get my life back. I have two kids with this woman and it was a nightmare to divorce her. All of the courts and legal stuff was making her out to be the good person when in fact she ruined everything. Thank God everyday that you didn't marry this women. Your heart will truly heal in do time and Trust me, once the pain subside, you will see that this was more of a blessing. Stay strong my man!
Heartfelt Scriptures Reading this is sad that so many people relate to this and have experienced similar scenarios. It just shows how crazy this world truly is. Your wife and church friend are selfish. Lord help us all.
"She fell victim to that" no dude, i'm really sorry but this is on her she was in a committed relationship, its her job to tell guys to leave her alone.
I have literally just thought about it. That guy showed a lot of traits related to sociopathy: really manipulative, no empathy, lack of remorse or guilt, and also a really good liar. Besides that, Josh said that he jumps from girl to girl. Sociopaths are known not to be able to maintain long-lasting relationships, simply because of this lack of empathy. Besides that, Josh said that guy was like his brother and that they had been friends for a very long time, then just so casually throwing Josh out the window. Again, lack of empathy.
I cover a lot of the behavior of people, and I think as many as 1/2 of all people are sociopathic. I avoid people. I'm a successful loner, and I'll be showing that even more in 2020. Join the Raiders
No joke, that gaslighting was some of the meanest I've ever seen. Cruel doesn't begin to describe it. I felt so bad for him. Edit: Not important, but you can tell from his texts that his former friend is painfully dim.
@@IndohNintendoor he is wayyyyy hopeless, angry and not showing growth in his self pity parties. Sure its everyones fault. But he needs to grow up or learn how to make better choices.
@@debravoll6043 He seems to have learned from his mistakes when it comes to romantic relationships and he's definitely doing well for himself financially, I'd say.
@Christian Robertson Anyone who is willing to cheat on someone should have the guts to tell the truth. Instead most cheaters run and hide under blame and shame. Act like its all okay that they can do this to someone, but too much of a coward to own up to their pathetic lifestyle and piss poor excuses.
There are some bad stuff that happens to us that in the end we glad it did happen. Just by seeing this video and the constant gaslighting and blame shift, he dodge a bullet there.
The "best friend" is a psychopath. He cannot feel your pain, and doesn't care about your feelings. He lives to satisfy himself, and ONLY himself. Your ex gf is like any other low quality girl (no offense to your choice of women). She lacks self-control, lacks character, and has a life philosophy of "the grass is greener on the other side."
That’s not a psychopath, that’s a sociopath. Psychopaths feel as much as the rest of us and they get off on inflicting the painful extremes of said feelings on others. Sociopaths are incapable of empathy or true emotional experience and are simply good at faking it. Sociopaths also tend to be narcissistic which definitely fits this asshole. Can’t know for sure without meeting him, but it’s a safe bet if this is accurate.
That description of a low quality girl kind of describes most girls today. Definitely most I've been with (including an ex with Borderline Personality Disorder). Values such as honor, loyalty, respect, and integrity aren't really ingrained in their upbringing thanks to social media.
@@Pit_Lord That's not true what you said. the key difference between sociopath and psychopath is that sociopaths are MADE, while psychopaths are BORN. But you are right ALL psychopaths are narcissist. But you are wrong that all psychopaths "enjoy inflicting pain" this is sadistic feature, psychopaths just dont care if you are in pain.

@MAST3RCHIEF 98 Lust and love are two different things. Powerful attraction can be a building block for a relationship, but if you don't develop a deeper relationship. You're not in love, you just love the way they make you feel when they're around; and that's not love. The flame of Lusting after someone attractive eventually burns out. And if you hold a candle to that flame, no woman will be good enough; I wish you well and hope you don't end up alone for the rest of your life.
Exactly, right? I found her tone genuinely hilarious bc her reaction to getting caught was literally "[gasp] How DARE you find out that I was cheating and how DARE you lead my family and friends to find out about my secret!!! God damnit, now it's not a secret anymore and everyone who knows me now knows that I did something shitty!!! And I have to EXPLAIN IT. How dare you expose that!!!" The level of denial and victim blaming seriously blows my mind (I get that it's ONE of the things guilty people must cling on to in order to survive and move on, but GOSH it's SO scummy and shitty, I hurt for Josh). I'm so glad the trash took themselves out. Good riddance.
If your girlfriend cheats on you with your best friend, it means that your girlfriend never loved you, and your best friend was actually your worst enemy. Don't look at this as a curse, look at this as a blessing. Once you see someone's true colors, accept the truth for what it is. That way you can find peace.
@@PassionateFlower people are sick in general. not up to that level, but i also found out that people i called family and partner wasnt really "that". maybe we are not that unlucky, a lot of people catch up with this stuff way too late.

That's just how society in the end may go downhill. I got a son and shared custody but never married and never will. Here in Germany they removed a law that would give a certain person the guilt for a divorce. That means if I were married with a wealthier woman than me I could cheat, record it on video give it to her on Christmas and say:"hey, we are broken up now and I appreciate that u will owe me 500 bugs every month for the next years or until I marry again" Y'all know that usually the man got more wealth cause girls almost never marry down. When I then tell people that marriage has become a scam and totally lost the meaning cause any infidelity hasn't any consequences many got no clue and come with that love aspect. Marriage now is like adopting a female. It's a contract where you either got some tax benefits while it works or lose half of your belongings when it goes down. Even whe u just cohabitate for more than a year you owe that girl money after the breakup unless she doesn't earn more money than u. Hilarious 😂 In the generation of my grandmother divorces were a huge exception.

I've only ever had one girlfriend (currently 25 yo). She was a liar, manipulator, and a good enough projector to stream 4K video. I didn't know that until the very end, when she betrayed me and tried to turn my friends against me; I had objectively done only good for her. The dude she left me for (and is actually engaged to) is my favorite person in the entire world. Not only did he take away my biggest burden, but he took that burden for himself. Bless that man! All the best to them both.
That is a great way to think about it. It just makes me wonder to what extent she knows of her manipulation. Like you would expect her to recognize it and take some accountability and apologize to you.
@@Broken_Helix She is fully aware and has built her entire life on those lies, doubling down at each opportunity. For her to ever take accountability would mean complete dis-ownership by her friends and fiance.

Ask yourself this how many girls do this to other girls who have a high value man. Mind you they wait to bounce on a man they want when there is drama in a relationship.
If I was a young guy I would date older women and if I was a older man I would date younger women. Older women will do anything for a younger guy older than me. And when you are older, younger women in some cases respect the fact that you're older and established. Im 40 and my girlfriend is 30 and conservative. When a man is focused on becoming a great provider and creating security for a family, the right woman will come along and recognize and respect that.
@@gb_the_accuser It is about the right woman. With morals. A woman that compliments you. A woman that brings value. Also one that doesn't listen to rap n doesn't go to festivals where morality is low. Birds of a feather flock together. Any woman that is 25 n younger is a huge gamble in my days!
Once, a girl gaslit me into believing she was being raped, when she was actually cheating. I feel ya. She did the same thing later where she came back and admitted to messing up and all that crap, fishing for another go. The way you said, I had to start over, moved in with a family from another culture, and it helped a lot. It changed my whole life, and for the better. The experience was hard, but God is good.

He offered his perspective and experiences (through his content). He literally changed my life, and I'm just some random dude in Texas.

My life changed because of this fucking absolute bro. Don't even need to react. Just come and watch this video again (for the reminder to look outside of how I'm feeling currently. Like how he felt lonely and gave in to talking to them again? That kinda stuff). And you know what? Time to go put this chick in the back of my mind and go hit the gym again. Thanks Josh. It is fucking boggling my tiny mind how I always, a l w a y s , come back to your content. I've always tried to pay that kindness forward to others who need it and will always spread your channel when it comes up in conversation, but honestly thank you so much for everything. I hope people continue to learn from this man.
@Saad Bin Masud if you expect to troll people in as little as four words you might want to take a class. He'll just let his current relationship speak for itself (not that it's any of our colledti business), but keep on being mad kiddo. The problem with using platforms as an outlet for your autistic rage is that we become what we speak. Time has shown that consistently.
@Saad Bin Masud Yeah, no shit, nice guys are always screwed and he´s a nice guy. Though in this case having a thug pretending to be his friend was the catalyst that screwed the relationship
Oh my word, the narcissist ALWAYS, alwayyyssss comes back. I know this was from a few years ago but I SCREAMED when I heard she came back and you REPLIED. MY HEART. I'm so sorry you experienced this. WOW what a story.
Also you're so lucky and should be so thankful these two did what they did. It's honestly a BLESSING to you this happened. The amount of gaslighting is INTENSE GOSH. I hope you blocked them both. Now you know. And you're stronger for it. I'm sure after 2 years you're healed just like I am after being cheated on and also had a friend who tricked me for 20 plus years,I grew and moved on from it. Stay well. Pray if you have faith. My realtionship with Jesus brought me through or I could have been gone 💕
I mean, there's some naivety on Josh side, when you are friends with a guy who's fucking over every woman he's with for years... should you expect loyalty? Why, because the gender's different and he's not fucking you? Cmon dude. Cmooon.
So she She flew to a whole another state to get the D unprotected by someone she knew u were close to then had the audacity to confirm it and ask to move back in... I can’t
@Abu Hassan There might be some truth to your statement but you can't say we chose or wanted this. No one ever asked for my vote. The ball got rolling long before most of us were even born.
Of course, but he gets girls constantly. Ergo, he is a product of what girls want and keep going to him even though he lies to them and screws them over.
The Friend is in military. He should be reported and put to justice. Adultry(infidelity) can result in dishonorable discharge. F*ck yeah he deserves that. He's a disgrace to the uniform. He probably won't receive the worst punishment, but the punital system is harsh and he'll be scared like hell and probably become un-promotable for a long time.
She may be a sociopath too. They see him as soft, a push over. Good thing that her teary-eyed 'take me back' routine failed (he mentions Rollo's book), props to him. This was a video about going from blue pill to purple/red pill. I laughed when she lied and said they had sex 3 times. With a new girlfriend it's more like sex 3 times a day.
I'm not sure why I happened to come upon this video that was made 4 years ago, but here we are. I thought this would be something juicy to listen to while I worked on some art, but I'm in tears and haven't done shit. I'm not sure of what your life is like 4 years later after this tragedy, but I just feel compelled to tell you some things. To begin, none of this was your fault. None of it. I really hope you know this. Even 4 years later, I know the pain caused by being emotionally abused is challenging to overcome. All too well. You are such a sweet, kind, adorable, handsome soul, and any woman would be lucky to be loved by you. I can only hope that you are now in a relationship where you are loved, uplifted, and cherished. We all deserve love like that. I never wanted children, and I never wanted to get married. Not wanting those things doesn't make you a bad person. Life can be so fruitful, and love can be just as fruitful, if not more, without the burden of children or a marriage that society pressures us to endure to be "normal." Normal is boring, and normal can be a nightmare. To be free with someone you love and to both be consciously choosing each other is way more precious than any ring in the world. May you be blessed with all the love and affection you desire/deserve. That girl wasn't woman enough to realize what she had and ultimately lost. Karma is real, and both cheating parties deserve to have eternal diarrhea. I truly hope the years since this video have been extra good to you. ❤
Hey I'm just a random internet stranger out of 14,000 comments that only saw this because of the YT algorithm. But I want to wish you the very best. I want to send you support and I WISH I could have been one of those people there to help you out. I understand your loneliness, I understand the confusion. I've been there and I'm glad you had some friends checking in on you, but I wish you could have gotten more. You've clearly grown from this and I know you'll be coming out of this better than ever before. You're awesome and don't forget that. Also I really needed to learn some coding haha, lucky to end up on this channel!
@@samsand1295 the saying "you are who you surround yourself with is very valid". I am careful on who I consider a part of my inner circle. I can't stand being complicit to messed up actions such as stealing, lying, and cheating. I get if your friend makes a mistake, but he knew this man's whole character was fucked up from day 1. So much so he had to warn his SO about how bad he was. Imagine having to warn people that your best friend is trash.
And his parents don’t deserve him and have used him and not treated him with unconditional love. He is really a strong dude, I hope he finds someone who knows his worth!
Not just this but if you watch his other videos there's the drama with his family disowning him and he was married to a girl who pulled a 180 on him. You can tell in the videos that he's a genuinely good person and this is exactly why this happens. Narcissists are drawn towards good people they can manipulate. I wouldn't even call it 'trust issues', that would imply that there is something wrong him distrusting people in the future. That's not an issue, that's reality. Learn from your mistakes. I learnt from mine. The only thing I trust in this world is my dog and MAYBE my mom.
This might help a lot of people . You are really brave to be so honest . People get so confused and some of them are very selfish, we all are in a way, but this story is really sad and scary . He is not your brother , dont talk to this people again.
She didn’t “fall Victim” She made a choice, lied to you, cheated and did exactly what she wanted to do! The true reason she cheated, was because she wanted to!
Exactly!! We need to stop giving women passes these days with cheating, as they 99% of the time are the instigators in cheating and nearly always try twisting it on to being the man's fault she cheated
@@gholamdapantaloonsniffer8218 cheating is never okay. I don't care what your gender is, what genitals you have and what your sexual orientation is. Just break up and don't be an asshole and cheat.
Morals of the story for me: don’t make friends with trash people. You see their trash behavior but because it doesn’t affect you it’s okay....until it does affect you.
That's really smart. If you see somebody back stabbing, lying, and cheating people in their other relationships, why would you think they wouldn't do it to you someday?
Man, that is rough. But I love how real you are and show true raw emotion. I think everyone goes through at least 1 terrible break up in their life that changes them.
If they want to take a break, say "Yes", and don't get back together. If you say "No" and they want to take a break, they will probably cheat. If you say "yes", you will be disadvantaged in pursuing real relationships, and if you get back together, you will be treated as someone they can abandon and come back to as a safety net.
@@cell9899 no. First you call her out on the shit. Then you quit. Accepting a break will mean she will use you emotionally once she is done fucking around with a bunch of guys.
Jesus this was hard to listen, I can only imagine the amount of heartbreak this have caused you. I’m sorry my friend, but look at you, you came out of the other side much better!
Norman Tran being defensive is a common thing on both sides, the issue is when they don’t want to back down or listen after awhile. That’s the red flag
Man I feel you. Being cheated on is the worst pain, I would not wish on anybody, even my worst enemy. I've been cheated on and I have trust issues now. when you sleep, eat, jerk off, work, do anything you see images of your girl banging the other dude. It's like being stabbed in the heart by a fork and then twisting it for extra pain.
Christ... that can kill you, man. Shake it off. Really! Yes, it is fucked up, especially if you really lean into that person, if you really go off guard. But, fuck, in the end you are still the same. And she has lost her dignity, if she ever had it, anyway. That's why people must always still love and take care of their own selves.
And her true self was only because of her internal loneliness. She admitted in the text and the conversation she was only really "back" because she was feeling lonely--not because she was actually sorry for her actions. Obviously there's always 2 sides to a story, but Josh's side is pretty clear showing her actions were unjustified.
This eerily parallels what happened to me. My now ex BFF 20 yrs met my husband the day we brought our daughter home from the hospital. I found them together at a motel 6 months later. I left and she moved in. 2 yrs later they’re still together. Co parenting is hell. Those gaslighting texts still happen to me everyday because he’s my daughters father. It’s hell. I’d like to make a video like this one day. I bet it’s healing. Is it? I hope so. Peace profound.
On top of me having all our texts and phone calls I also have their texts to each other. It’s sickening to see them purposely trying to break me down. It’s obvious they wanted me to kill myself. It’s evil. Thank God I have a solid grip on my mind and sanity regardless of situations
Edit - Someone just showed me her new boyfriend, aannnd karma is real, justice has been served let's say lmao.
Again, remember this was a year ago. The point of the video isn't about getting back at anyone, I've moved passed it. This video is to show what it looks like to get gaslit, and how easy it can be to believe you're in the wrong when you're the one who's been wronged, especially when you don't have a group of people around to remind you you're not crazy. Just remember it's easy to comment what I 'should have immediately done when x happened' when you can watch from a distance. It's also easy when you've had time to process the situation. Hindsight is 2020. Chances are - I've already read all of your 'suggested books' 🙂
Josh, I just wanted to say, it was not your fault.
No matter how many thots you encounter, we will be behind you bro. Keep grinding and stay strong man.
Hey Joshua, that's a really rough story. I went through a similar situation. My newly broken up with gf and my good friend who was also my roommate and business partner got together. They never told me they were together, always pretended they had other reasons to be hanging out...
At the time I got pretty depressed - felt like a loser for being betrayed by the 2 people that I had chosen to be closest to me in the world. Later they ended up getting married - still never said anything to me about it.
Anyway
I hear some of that pain in your story. And I'm sorry you feel like you need to justify your side of things so much on the video and to tell people to not beat you with "advice" in the comments.
All the internet talk of "you just gotta x." to ensure your relationship, or to stay in control is BS. It's avoiding genuine connection. With real connection you get pain too.
You gotta process your pain. On the other side of it, you have new awareness and understandings of what you want and don't want and more importantly your real worth.
You're doing great Joshua. You give a lot of value and entertainment - and now emotional connection to a lot of people.
Your hard work, even mind, and ability to be vulnerable will take you far. Good people will come into your life too.
Take good care
I suggest book, “Reasons to vote for Democrats,” by Michael Knowles? Such a long book I doubt you’ve read the whole thing. Nobody has.
I am interested in more relationship videos. Like how you got back into dating and how is your trust level for women.
Man this guy has been through some shit. Never had a relationship with his father while growing up, got into a bad marriage and had to get divorced, family didn't even show up to his marriage, disowned by his family because he wouldn't pay their rent and drug habit anymore after they were freeloading off of him for 5 years, girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend. Dude, you've survived some crazy stuff, and you kept going, you're strong, and I hope you're doing well now.
This is why he is the chillest dude ever
Yeah,man. There are soap opera writers watching this channel and going "Oh,come on!"
@@thevrana people eat this shit up 🙏
It's those of us who go through that crazy shit that inevitably end up winning the most in the end. I have a smilar story (except cheating gf, that would be a cherry on top 🤣) but none the less I was homeless, got my class a CDL, drove for somebody, and now I drive for myself, I have more money then I know what to do with so I just save and live a modest lifestyle, minimalistic if you would, hoping someday I find a woman that's worth starting a family with.
At a certain point though, when you keep finding yourself in so much shit, you have to wonder if there’s more than bad luck involved.

@@naysaynetwork5271what do you mean in reverse? Like, she cheated on u after the marriage?
I'm wondering how long after the break From the Norwegian girl that he was married to, did this girl in the video come into his life, and I think after all her red flags that surfaced... after the grave period, he should have kicked her out once he saw her true colors, let alone get it to the point where she was bossing him around at home, or to where she and his ex-best friend was getting too close.

Kids, here's a tip: When people start using sex as a bargaining chip, leave.
Lyle Walker facts.
Okay.. i will
Very solid advice. I never let women use sex as a bargaining chip on me. Mainly because women don't want to have sex with me.
@@uppymcdowny58 It's abusive, because if you're not in love and looking at it from the outside you go 'Oh, well, that's fucking easy... I'll just walk away if that happens.' But if you're IN love, it's suddenly 90,000 times as fucking hard. And the person using the sex/affection as a weapon against you KNOWS this. It's just straight up fucking abuse, period. I don't care what anybody says. If someone is doing this to you, they're abusing you.
Lyle Walker what do you mean by bargaining chip?
Real women can’t be stolen. If she gets stolen, she was a problem.
Homeboy dodged a bullet
She is most likely going to do the same thing to the next guy.
He still got winged by that bullet though. I feel really bad for this guy.
Dont't know about dodging.
Not really dodged a bullet. He got hit by a fucking shotgun and here he is
Im glad i cant be stolen;D ima cry
as boyfriend and girlfriend, her considering herself not "off the market" until she's married is an insanely massive red flag
Yessir
Because even a ring would not mean shit to her
I keep wondering what she looked like. I had a friendship with a timid, nerdy girl who worked as a teacher's assistant and she not only dragged along multiple guys, angered one of them, angered the family of another after spending many holidays with them, was dying to date the only one of them who was not interested and gaslit me by calling me her "best friend", while she had short relationships on the side to do everyone knows what. I think I actually was her best friend, because in the end she never got along with anyone and was flaky to everyone. She then joined a religious movement and is still having a honeymoon with them after four years, because they are relatively well educated and connected and present everything they do as very special.
No it's not. If you like put a ring on it, otherwise you don't have exclusive rights.
@@midishh, the way a person behaves before the ring is the way she will behave with the ring.

Joshua goes through shit then documents everything so that we don't have to suffer the same way. 100% like share subscribed man
As good as this video is and as much as I appreciate him sharing this. It’s good to know someone has gone through something similar to you BUT it won’t stop it from happening to you. This shit happens. A lot. It’s just nice to create a space where people who have been through something like this can feel less alone.
I enjoy the sharing but would not like to make my way in the world "Hey I am victimized". People love filming themselves. I guess we love watching but I have had my fill of internet racers and quiet quitters. Just say your peace and move on. Having it broadcasted all over the world and getting currency for it keeps this in place.

Completely agree, a buddy of mine that I’ve been friends with for nine years decided that it was a good idea to start flirting and talking each other while we’re dated then 2 months later these 2 decided to date, meanwhile while my suspicions where high my buddy kept lieing until the Guilt pressured him into tell me the truth, so I understand bro and I feel for ya
My boyfriend is my best friend :c
My ex fiance cheated with my best friend. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I shed two backstabbing people and now several years later I am way better off in every way.
Same!!
ME TOO!!! LOL
How does this shit happen tho. I hope this doesn't happen to me holy shit
@@Spilkyy I wish I knew. I guess it's just an ugly side to the human condition. My friend at the time was my child hood best friend of 15 years (10 years old to 25 years old). I trusted him completely and would have never dreamed that our friendship would have ended that way.
My ex-gf (diagnosed narcissist) broke up with me at an airport on a trip we planned together. Days later, she was with someone in this community of friends that I had introduced her to. This community was something I had been a part of since about 10 years old. She whispered all kinds of rumors saying that I had abused her, broke into her house, threatened to stab here and God knows what else. It became very clear something was up when people started to look at me differently and treat me differently. I ended up being cyber bullied, received a sex tape from my ex and had 'meme's made about me circulating over social media and all kinds of stuff.
Long story short, I left that group that had now become toxic and moved state to start a new life. I completed a Master's degree with a high distinction, got a well playing job, promoted twice in under 18 months to a manager type position, and became a self-made millionaire through some of my side hustles. My ex...who knows, who cares? :P
This video triggered the shit out of me. Gaslighting men to be "creeps" and "stalkers" because you're a horrible person yourself.
The fact that her parents came by to your house to thank you says everything.
😂
That tells me she has done this multiple times, and the parents know about it......
They must have felt the sting of shame
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Usually when the parents treat you as the proxy sin/daughter it means they know their kid is horrible and they want to let you know they respect you as parents.
She probably is like this to everybody...
thats better when you get rid of two trash bag at once

There is never a friend nor relationship. It was all beautiful I have been thinking of doing something like this too. This is the most honest real video I ever watched. I hope that you will NEVER be mean to anyone. I too don't trust anyone. Just take your time. I don't ever want a relationship nor am I looking for one. Just keep friends or acquaintance of people it works better. If you don't want to be with them anymore no strings attached just move on. Thank you for your pureness.
The moment you said your GF cheated with one of your closest friends through your life, that you used to play Halo together as little children, I knew the betrayal was unforgivable
well he was friends with someone like that to begin with and also went along with his antics.

@lukesfx There's a lot more than that to take away from his story. His childhood "friend" for a start totally gaslighting him and the obviously very manipulative girlfriend. I think it's a good warning to youngsters out there who are getting gaslit or going through similar shit. You can call him whatever names but I take my hat off to him.
The betrayal from his buddy was probably harder to take than any of the girl's shit.
lukesfx But the main point of this video was about the gaslight from his ex-gf and ex-bestfriend... He's just telling us, the audience, to be aware of getting gaslighted since there are people who will believe that it was their fault even though it wasn't.
It's free therapy. Good to let it out.
Although it's been over 2 years since you posted this, I'm so glad that you did. I am going through a similar situation. Never have I ever been so humiliated and hurt by somebody I've known for over 15 years. I guess I should've seen it coming tho. I've learnt from this experience and I'm starting to grow as a person. When you keep yourself onto a certain standard and have respect for yourself, you will require the same things from other people. I hope this makes sense.

With a best friend like him, who the hell needs enemies!! You will be fine going forward. Unfortunately, you are going to have to trust much less.
He can share it with someone it just has to be the right person. The red flags were there from the beginning. He knows it and hindsight is 20/20. He'll be smarter next time and he won't ignore the red flags.
This guy for sure keeps it real! He doesnt have to say these things, but he probably doesnt have many ppl close to talk to but his subscribers. He being open is actually a brave thing

Thanks for the story. Like others have said makes me feel less alone. 11 yrs together. We moved to multiple cities and states for school. Both finished. Started a successful business.

@@ryanwatchel9809 But men, in general, are not better. Sure, a small number of close friends might be. But most men also only care about how they can benefit from you - your time, money, effort etc. Different game, same rules. Do you believe your boss cares about you? And why do you think so many guys lose friends after they have an accident and end up in a wheelchair? Trust me, men aren't any better. You're just biased because you're sexually attracted to women.
@@Mr_Donald_Pump bro, dont waste your time and energy on these goons, all of them incels and worse, "mgtow" are braindead.
A really long time ago a girl did similiar thing to me and i too was blind to see it. It wasn't with a friend but i remember the pain and it completely destroyed me. Just like Josh here, she came back later but i wasn't having any of it and I had already met a new girl. I loved when the tables turned. I think that was the last time i cried for a woman, that ex made me into this cold man and learned to never fall too in love with anyone. Looking back at it, it was for the best cause we were too young anyway, now "married" with kids and a dog my life wouldn't be where its at now had that not happened. I hope you find someone new buddy but this story really resonates with me and well now i wouldnt put up with any of that shit of course.

Josh, bro. I was you but I married mine. It was the worst and most expensive decision of my life. After providing her a beautiful home and 2 boys, nice cars. As I type, Im back at my parents at 50. Despite her cheating, she got it all. She also withheld sex from me. She was such a narcissist - gaslighting, I ignored my attorney because of my instinct to care for my family, like fanthom limb. I lost it all, contemplated suicide. Im so bitter now. You dodged a bullet my friend. Trust me.

Hey Joshua,
Thanks for the video. I hope it brings comfort to you that you’re not alone, I went through EXACTLY what you did. However I was much more heavily invested. 16 years/4 children. From the deception, the gaslighting, the confusion, the self-doubt. I’m in tears just writing this. I understand you, the way we still explain ourself from their accusations because we’re afraid some people might buy it. I’m glad you’re doing well. Many of us don’t make it. It’s time we move on, the person we thought they were died a long time ago.
This was deep - People wonder why people shut off to everyone emotionally

I'm a 22 year old woman with Asperger's Syndrome and was bullied a lot as a child. I empathize with him completely. I have never had any romantic relationships and am quite inexperienced socially, but I know what it is like to be betrayed. It happened to me in middle school when a couple of so-called "friends" of mine turned on me suddenly. Then the entire class followed as well. I chose to isolate myself almost totally and eventually this led to severe depression and a hospitalization at the age of 18. In high school I joined no clubs and chose to primarily keep to myself. I graduated one year later than I was supposed to. Much healing has been done, and I'm doing well, but even now I still find it be open to others, and I'm 22 now.

Dude this is hurting my heart. My wife wife did the exact same thing with a mutual church friend of ours. I would never have though in one millions years that my christian wife was capable of such evil things. I am getting goose bumps just listening to your story. My ex-wife flew away on new years 2016 to meet some friends but I contacted those friends and found out that they had no idea what I was taking about. My world shattered that day and it took me years to get my life back. I have two kids with this woman and it was a nightmare to divorce her. All of the courts and legal stuff was making her out to be the good person when in fact she ruined everything. Thank God everyday that you didn't marry this women. Your heart will truly heal in do time and Trust me, once the pain subside, you will see that this was more of a blessing. Stay strong my man!
I'm glad you have your life back

My mind was telling me exactly the same.
She sounds like a woman, I’m in the “star fish “ phase of my relationship I’m already out
I have literally just thought about it. That guy showed a lot of traits related to sociopathy: really manipulative, no empathy, lack of remorse or guilt, and also a really good liar. Besides that, Josh said that he jumps from girl to girl. Sociopaths are known not to be able to maintain long-lasting relationships, simply because of this lack of empathy. Besides that, Josh said that guy was like his brother and that they had been friends for a very long time, then just so casually throwing Josh out the window. Again, lack of empathy.
I cover a lot of the behavior of people, and I think as many as 1/2 of all people are sociopathic.

The "best friend" is a psychopath. He cannot feel your pain, and doesn't care about your feelings. He lives to satisfy himself, and ONLY himself.
Your ex gf is like any other low quality girl (no offense to your choice of women). She lacks self-control, lacks character, and has a life philosophy of "the grass is greener on the other side."
Seems more like a narcissist.
@@iWillWakeYouUp yep, all those gaslighting definitely pointing to the cluster B behavior
That’s not a psychopath, that’s a sociopath. Psychopaths feel as much as the rest of us and they get off on inflicting the painful extremes of said feelings on others. Sociopaths are incapable of empathy or true emotional experience and are simply good at faking it. Sociopaths also tend to be narcissistic which definitely fits this asshole. Can’t know for sure without meeting him, but it’s a safe bet if this is accurate.
That description of a low quality girl kind of describes most girls today. Definitely most I've been with (including an ex with Borderline Personality Disorder). Values such as honor, loyalty, respect, and integrity aren't really ingrained in their upbringing thanks to social media.
@@Pit_Lord That's not true what you said. the key difference between sociopath and psychopath is that sociopaths are MADE, while psychopaths are BORN.

@MAST3RCHIEF 98 Lust and love are two different things. Powerful attraction can be a building block for a relationship, but if you don't develop a deeper relationship. You're not in love, you just love the way they make you feel when they're around; and that's not love. The flame of Lusting after someone attractive eventually burns out. And if you hold a candle to that flame, no woman will be good enough; I wish you well and hope you don't end up alone for the rest of your life.
Even if she had lots of school work and all that. If she loved you she would have shown love all the time
Your ex girlfriend was mostly pissed that u basically blew her story with her family and friend
Exactly, right? I found her tone genuinely hilarious bc her reaction to getting caught was literally "[gasp] How DARE you find out that I was cheating and how DARE you lead my family and friends to find out about my secret!!! God damnit, now it's not a secret anymore and everyone who knows me now knows that I did something shitty!!! And I have to EXPLAIN IT. How dare you expose that!!!"
The level of denial and victim blaming seriously blows my mind (I get that it's ONE of the things guilty people must cling on to in order to survive and move on, but GOSH it's SO scummy and shitty, I hurt for Josh). I'm so glad the trash took themselves out. Good riddance.
If your girlfriend cheats on you with your best friend, it means that your girlfriend never loved you, and your best friend was actually your worst enemy. Don't look at this as a curse, look at this as a blessing. Once you see someone's true colors, accept the truth for what it is. That way you can find peace.

Things happen for a reason
This dude has way too good of a heart for this generation
That's just how society in the end may go downhill. I got a son and shared custody but never married and never will. Here in Germany they removed a law that would give a certain person the guilt for a divorce.
That means if I were married with a wealthier woman than me I could cheat, record it on video give it to her on Christmas and say:"hey, we are broken up now and I appreciate that u will owe me 500 bugs every month for the next years or until I marry again"
Y'all know that usually the man got more wealth cause girls almost never marry down.
When I then tell people that marriage has become a scam and totally lost the meaning cause any infidelity hasn't any consequences many got no clue and come with that love aspect.
Marriage now is like adopting a female. It's a contract where you either got some tax benefits while it works or lose half of your belongings when it goes down.
Even whe u just cohabitate for more than a year you owe that girl money after the breakup unless she doesn't earn more money than u. Hilarious 😂
In the generation of my grandmother divorces were a huge exception.
Me too

They come and go either way. They become more crazier when you have more money though. That has been my experience. Rap music is a red flag.
If I was a young guy I would date older women and if I was a older man I would date younger women. Older women will do anything for a younger guy older than me. And when you are older, younger women in some cases respect the fact that you're older and established. Im 40 and my girlfriend is 30 and conservative. When a man is focused on becoming a great provider and creating security for a family, the right woman will come along and recognize and respect that.
@@gb_the_accuser It is about the right woman. With morals. A woman that compliments you. A woman that brings value. Also one that doesn't listen to rap n doesn't go to festivals where morality is low. Birds of a feather flock together. Any woman that is 25 n younger is a huge gamble in my days!

Bro literally followed this dude for like, a couple years. He helped me build my computer through advice from a live stream. He gave me fitness advice. He offered his perspective and experiences (through his content). He literally changed my life, and I'm just some random dude in Texas. Finally, in my relationship of even longer (we were going on eight years (and going through a lot of hardship and estranging ourselves from BOTH of our families) and I'm being told I am the absolutely worst lover she ever had) this just happened to me. My life changed because of this fucking absolute bro.
Don't even need to react. Just come and watch this video again (for the reminder to look outside of how I'm feeling currently. Like how he felt lonely and gave in to talking to them again? That kinda stuff).
And you know what? Time to go put this chick in the back of my mind and go hit the gym again.
Thanks Josh. It is fucking boggling my tiny mind how I always, a l w a y s , come back to your content. I've always tried to pay that kindness forward to others who need it and will always spread your channel when it comes up in conversation, but honestly thank you so much for everything.

So she She flew to a whole another state to get the D unprotected by someone she knew u were close to then had the audacity to confirm it and ask to move back in... I can’t
That's called entitlement. Enabled by all the thirsty simps out there.
Wtf ,screwed up mind😶
Zenish Khumujam nah he knew what time it was lol
Puts the B in bitch
@Abu Hassan There might be some truth to your statement but you can't say we chose or wanted this. No one ever asked for my vote. The ball got rolling long before most of us were even born.
The friend sounds like a sociopath. In which this all makes sense.
Of course, but he gets girls constantly. Ergo, he is a product of what girls want and keep going to him even though he lies to them and screws them over.
The Friend is in military. He should be reported and put to justice. Adultry(infidelity) can result in dishonorable discharge. F*ck yeah he deserves that. He's a disgrace to the uniform. He probably won't receive the worst punishment, but the punital system is harsh and he'll be scared like hell and probably become un-promotable for a long time.
the friend sounds like he's sexy as hell.
@@trave7251 You're either the friend or another sociopath.
She may be a sociopath too. They see him as soft, a push over. Good thing that her teary-eyed 'take me back' routine failed (he mentions Rollo's book), props to him. This was a video about going from blue pill to purple/red pill. I laughed when she lied and said they had sex 3 times. With a new girlfriend it's more like sex 3 times a day.
I'm not sure why I happened to come upon this video that was made 4 years ago, but here we are.
I thought this would be something juicy to listen to while I worked on some art, but I'm in tears and haven't done shit.
I'm not sure of what your life is like 4 years later after this tragedy, but I just feel compelled to tell you some things.
To begin, none of this was your fault. None of it. I really hope you know this. Even 4 years later, I know the pain caused by being emotionally abused is challenging to overcome. All too well.
You are such a sweet, kind, adorable, handsome soul, and any woman would be lucky to be loved by you. I can only hope that you are now in a relationship where you are loved, uplifted, and cherished. We all deserve love like that.
I never wanted children, and I never wanted to get married. Not wanting those things doesn't make you a bad person.
Life can be so fruitful, and love can be just as fruitful, if not more, without the burden of children or a marriage that society pressures us to endure to be "normal." Normal is boring, and normal can be a nightmare.
To be free with someone you love and to both be consciously choosing each other is way more precious than any ring in the world. May you be blessed with all the love and affection you desire/deserve. That girl wasn't woman enough to realize what she had and ultimately lost.
Karma is real, and both cheating parties deserve to have eternal diarrhea.
I truly hope the years since this video have been extra good to you. ❤
Hey I'm just a random internet stranger out of 14,000 comments that only saw this because of the YT algorithm. But I want to wish you the very best. I want to send you support and I WISH I could have been one of those people there to help you out. I understand your loneliness, I understand the confusion. I've been there and I'm glad you had some friends checking in on you, but I wish you could have gotten more. You've clearly grown from this and I know you'll be coming out of this better than ever before. You're awesome and don't forget that.
Also I really needed to learn some coding haha, lucky to end up on this channel!
When you see your friend being a snake to people, don't be surprised when they snake you
In time, the snakes start to sing.

Seriously, why would you surround yourself with someone who treats people like crap and say, "it's not my place to judge??"
@@ashleyjohnson5049 Exactly! You know your friend is toxic and you were complicit to their actions for years. I can't feel too sorry for him.
hmm, think about your circle, do you think it works as easily like that?
@@samsand1295 the saying "you are who you surround yourself with is very valid". I am careful on who I consider a part of my inner circle. I can't stand being complicit to messed up actions such as stealing, lying, and cheating.
I get if your friend makes a mistake, but he knew this man's whole character was fucked up from day 1. So much so he had to warn his SO about how bad he was. Imagine having to warn people that your best friend is trash.
I can't imagine the trust issues this poor guy has formed from this.
And his parents don’t deserve him and have used him and not treated him with unconditional love. He is really a strong dude, I hope he finds someone who knows his worth!
@@youngp2430 I'm seeing this video now
Haha straight up, my man's gonna be a wreck
Not just this but if you watch his other videos there's the drama with his family disowning him and he was married to a girl who pulled a 180 on him. You can tell in the videos that he's a genuinely good person and this is exactly why this happens. Narcissists are drawn towards good people they can manipulate.
I wouldn't even call it 'trust issues', that would imply that there is something wrong him distrusting people in the future. That's not an issue, that's reality. Learn from your mistakes. I learnt from mine. The only thing I trust in this world is my dog and MAYBE my mom.
@@rayzala1393 tru
This might help a lot of people . You are really brave to be so honest . People get so confused and some of them are very selfish, we all are in a way, but this story is really sad and scary . He is not your brother , dont talk to this people again.
She didn’t “fall Victim” She made a choice, lied to you, cheated and did exactly what she wanted to do! The true reason she cheated, was because she wanted to!
🎯
Exactly!! We need to stop giving women passes these days with cheating, as they 99% of the time are the instigators in cheating and nearly always try twisting it on to being the man's fault she cheated
Sure
Ding...ding.....ding...ding...etc.
@@gholamdapantaloonsniffer8218 cheating is never okay. I don't care what your gender is, what genitals you have and what your sexual orientation is. Just break up and don't be an asshole and cheat.
Morals of the story for me: don’t make friends with trash people. You see their trash behavior but because it doesn’t affect you it’s okay....until it does affect you.
That's really smart. If you see somebody back stabbing, lying, and cheating people in their other relationships, why would you think they wouldn't do it to you someday?
I learnt that the hard way.
facts
Exactly, Josh did not care until it happened to him.
This 👏🏾will👏🏾preach! So true!
Your ex-girlfriend stupidly threw away a diamond to pick up a stone.
More like a turd
damn bro. that's deep
That's why we diamond hand.
She threw away a beta soy boy...good for her!
Bc the diamond isnt him in her eyes
Man, that is rough. But I love how real you are and show true raw emotion. I think everyone goes through at least 1 terrible break up in their life that changes them.
Wanting to take a break is girl code for "I'm cheating, have been cheating or want to cheat " and let's break up .
claude charles well you can’t force anyone to stay. If they’re not happy, best you take up on that break and let her move on.
If they want to take a break, say "Yes", and don't get back together. If you say "No" and they want to take a break, they will probably cheat. If you say "yes", you will be disadvantaged in pursuing real relationships, and if you get back together, you will be treated as someone they can abandon and come back to as a safety net.
@@cell9899 no. First you call her out on the shit. Then you quit. Accepting a break will mean she will use you emotionally once she is done fucking around with a bunch of guys.
@@brettlaw920 being unsure of a relationship and wanting to think things over isn't abandoning someone.
This is true unfortunately.. when my girl told me this our relationship went downhill real fast. Sucks
Jesus this was hard to listen, I can only imagine the amount of heartbreak this have caused you. I’m sorry my friend, but look at you, you came out of the other side much better!
Right------th-cam.com/video/gon3X0KqJDM/w-d-xo.html
When girl starts suddenly defensive. That's a red flag.
Norman Tran being defensive is a common thing on both sides, the issue is when they don’t want to back down or listen after awhile. That’s the red flag
Going through this right now bro. It’s been 3 months and your video makes me feel that I’m gonna alright.❤️🙏🏽
Man I feel you. Being cheated on is the worst pain, I would not wish on anybody, even my worst enemy. I've been cheated on and I have trust issues now. when you sleep, eat, jerk off, work, do anything you see images of your girl banging the other dude. It's like being stabbed in the heart by a fork and then twisting it for extra pain.
Christ... that can kill you, man. Shake it off. Really!
Yes, it is fucked up, especially if you really lean into that person, if you really go off guard.
But, fuck, in the end you are still the same. And she has lost her dignity, if she ever had it, anyway.
That's why people must always still love and take care of their own selves.
SIDD Been there too man and it’s horrific! Damaged people cheat on others bro and the best we can do is try to avoid them..
I love y'all.
Eventually I came to the understanding "Better him than me". The next guy had to deal with that dumpster fire.
Look on the bright side, she will have to experience that in her afterlife review... if she isn't stuck in hell that is.
She showed her true self in the end, in the beginning was her false self.
And her true self was only because of her internal loneliness. She admitted in the text and the conversation she was only really "back" because she was feeling lonely--not because she was actually sorry for her actions. Obviously there's always 2 sides to a story, but Josh's side is pretty clear showing her actions were unjustified.
Saddest part is that all the time he spent on them isn't coming back. These type of people are like a literal fkin disease.
It's called 'The Honeymoon Phase'.
It's better to be alone, than be with the wrong person.
How to kn if the person wrong r right?
This eerily parallels what happened to me. My now ex BFF 20 yrs met my husband the day we brought our daughter home from the hospital. I found them together at a motel 6 months later. I left and she moved in. 2 yrs later they’re still together. Co parenting is hell. Those gaslighting texts still happen to me everyday because he’s my daughters father. It’s hell. I’d like to make a video like this one day. I bet it’s healing. Is it? I hope so. Peace profound.
On top of me having all our texts and phone calls I also have their texts to each other. It’s sickening to see them purposely trying to break me down. It’s obvious they wanted me to kill myself. It’s evil. Thank God I have a solid grip on my mind and sanity regardless of situations
I'm sorry that happened to you, they are two very disgusting people. Hang in there and God Bless.
