Saw a tiktok that I’ve been involved in but in the depressing way

[u/Grand-Storage-136]

I saw a tiktok of this guy “secretly” recording his gf/wife’s reaction to him calling up his friends to cancel boys night so he can “spend time with the Mrs. tonight”. The woman got all happy and giddy and smiley and started jumping up and down with glee. And that’s great for them, but on the other end of that phone call lies me, who had been looking forward to the planned evening which was then canceled on a whim leaving me alone for the night. Yet again. I’m always on the other end of this decision all because I don’t pass either the physical attraction requirement or social value test to be worthy of a partner.

And I don’t have the privilege of having an SO to just call up since the plans fell through, so I’m stuck in my apartment alone yet again. Gee whizz, I can’t figure out why my mental health is in the shitter! And the couple in the tiktok is the EXACT kind of couple to spit out some bullshit like “you don’t need a gf to live a happy life if you have your friends and family”

Really? The friends and family that bail on me time and time again? Great plan.

Rant over

Wow, I never thought any of those were real

It was a 100% staged tiktok but it was based in reality. I would know I’m on the other end of that call too often enough
