Found My Girlfriend’s Hinge Account, Should I Send Her the Screenshots I Took or Just Leave? A Redditor’s Roller-Coaster Ride
Hello my dazzling readers, Roger here with another slice of life that will make your eyes pop and your tea spill! Grab your favorite beverage, snuggle up, and let’s dive into this juicy Reddit saga that had me raising my eyebrow so high, it nearly replaced my fabulous hairline.
Picture this: You’re in a cozy relationship, everything seems tickety-boo, and then BAM! You stumble upon your girlfriend’s Hinge account. Now, darling, that’s a plot twist no Hollywood screenwriter could dream up. And when our protagonist, who I’ll affectionately call Sherlock for his sleuthing skills, discovered this, he was faced with a delicious dilemma. Should he expose her with screenshots or make like a ghost and disappear?
Setting the Stage
First, a round of applause for Sherlock, who harnessed the collective wisdom of Reddit to navigate this emotional minefield. The internet had a smorgasbord of advice, from the petty to the poetic, and Sherlock decided to enlist a pal for a little strategem straight out of a spy novel. Did I mention I live for drama?
The Grand Confrontation
Imagine it’s a cool Friday evening. Sherlock is all set to meet his girlfriend—let’s call her Hinge Heidi—for what he knows will be an Oscar-worthy performance. Heidi goes off for a shower, leaving Sherlock simmering with screenshots hotter than a summer in the Sahara.
Now, here’s where our dear Sherlock delivers a monologue for the ages. After Heidi emerges (probably feeling fresher than a daisy), Sherlock drops the ultimate ultimatum: “If there’s something you want to tell me, tell me now or I’m walking out.” Ladies and gentlemen, if that isn’t a scene worthy of a dramatic pause, I don’t know what is.
Heidi, bless her heart, hesitates like a deer caught in the headlights. Sherlock gives her five minutes before initiating his exit plan. And when she tries to hold on to him, professing undying love, he delivers a line that deserves to be inscribed in marble: “You should’ve thought about that before you made this.” *Mic drop.*
Exit, Stage Left
Sherlock then proceeds to whip out the screenshots like an ace card and walks out, leaving Heidi with a face paler than Casper. But does he stop there? Oh no, our master of drama takes a detour to Hinge Heidi’s best friend’s house. What’s a story without a sidekick, right?
He knocks, and the friend—let’s call her Nosy Nancy—opens the door asking how the talk went. Instead of words, Sherlock flashes his investigation results. Come on, if that isn’t a move straight out of a revenge thriller, I’ll eat my hat.
The Aftershock
Fast forward a few days, and Heidi has gone full stalker mode. She’s sending love notes, waiting near Sherlock’s work, leaving treats, photos, and letters (some risqué, some desperate). And Sherlock? He’s avoiding her more skilfully than a cat sidestepping a bath.
It’s a Shakespearean tragedy unfolding right before our eyes: Heidi is all broken-hearted, while Sherlock is maintaining his distance like a disciplined monk. He’s been dealing with this agony amidst medical school and a herniated disk. Talk about multitasking!
Roger’s Verdict
Now, my darlings, here’s what your fabulous Roger thinks—Sherlock handled this like a boss. Sure, it was painful, but he got clarity and avoided being played like a cheap fiddle. Should he consider Heidi’s remorse? Maybe, but only if she upgrades from Hinge to Savior and can prove beyond doubt she’s worthy of a second chance.
In the end, it’s all about self-respect and personal growth. If Sherlock found solace at the ocean and gaming his heart out, more power to him! After all, moving on is the best revenge, and living well, the ultimate vindication.
For anyone in a similar jam, take a leaf out of Sherlock’s playbook. Stand your ground, hold your head high, and remember: Drama is best left for Netflix.
Original story
Hello everyone! I’m so sorry for the delay from my first post.
First off, I want to say thank you to everyone that posted and gave me their advice about how I should go about this situation. There were a lot of really great people.
Some of you also sent me some private messages and telling me your thoughts and giving me support about the whole situation. Those that did message me I greatly appreciate you beyond words.
Now to the main part lol. So basically, I was going to see her later that week on Friday.
So, I took the time to really think about what I should do and how I should go about this whole situation. A lot of people were saying ghost her, “do” her then ditch her lol or just be up front about the whole situation.
What I decided to do was to ask my friend if I could send him all the screen shots and that he could send them back as “hey I found this” instead of saying I saw it and her lying to me about it. I sent them, he sent them back with a similar message and I felt as though I was ready for what was to come.
On Friday, I went over to her house, and she went to take a shower. I sat in her bed for a while and just kept thinking about what I was going to say.
After she was done, she sat down and asked me what was wrong and that I looked like I had something on my mind. I told her “If there’s something you want to tell me tell me now or I’m walking out” she froze and didn’t know what to say.
I told her she has 5 minutes to tell me what she’s hiding, or I’m gone. And the end of the time she hadn’t said anything, and I got up, grabbed my stuff and was walking out.
She grabbed my hand and told me to please not leave and that she loves me and wants me and me only. I just said “well you should’ve thought about that before you made this” I proceeded to send her the chat of my friend with the screenshots and all the screenshots that followed.
I saw her face go ghostly and I just walked out.
Her best friend lives down the street so I went over because my ex told her friend that she doesn’t use dating apps or anything like that. I knocked and when she answered her first question was, “how did the talk go?
” I just showed her the screen shots and what I know and saw. After that I left and went home.
The past couple days though my ex has been blowing up my phone saying it was a mistake and that she misses me and wants to see me or come over. She lives down the way from my work, so she’s been stopping by everyday either to give me letters food, snacks, and other little things.
She also waits for me to be off (which is past midnight) that way we can talk and sort stuff out, but I just get in my car and leave. She’s also been leaving explicit photos and letters and telling me to meet her at our “spot”, but I just don’t respond and leave.
Overall, I’m ok. I’m crushed by what happened and it really got me down.
There was a comment about doing the Bill Burr advice and getting a pack of drinks before I do it and then I’ll have them there. Funny thing is, I got a herniated disk in my back the very next day, so the pain medication is crazy lol.
To say the least they have me on hydrocodone. But I’m not abusing it and if I need to cry, I cry.
I’ve been going to the ocean a lot and sit there enjoy the waves and watching the sunset and being mindful about my feelings.
Does it suck right now? Yes.
But I will get better, and I will keep pushing on. I started medical school, so I’ve been busy with that, and I’ve just been gaming to fill in any time.
If anyone has any advice on what they did that helped them I’m more than happy to hear them. If anyone has questions, I’m more than happy to respond and clarify anything.
