I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS VIDEO DURING EXPORT BUT IT DEFFO WAS NOT REPEATING/GLITCHING WHEN I EDITED IT! APOLOGIES IF THIS MAKES IT HARD TO WATCH BUT TRY TO IGNORE IT 🥺
I think it’s good you have learned where you went wrong romantically. But I do hope you realise the poor financial decisions you both made aswell. Hopefully you set between 15-70k to actually buy a flat or house in somewhere affordable instead of paying excessive money to help pay someone’s mortgage off for them and going forward invest a large portion of all your funds going forward.
Once he lost his career, he began to resent you for still having yours. He secretly grew to hate you for being good to him, and the more he cheated and treated you poorly, the more he began to hate himself. He projected his self hate on you. He was this guy all along, but the more you thrived and had something special about you, the deeper he got in self-pity. He wanted to see how far he could break you because he needed to see you as an equal. That's how he sees himself. I'm glad you're no longer in a relationship that was literally driving you mad. The more you thrive, the more his resent will grow. Be careful and godspeed!!!
You surmised that shit perfectly. I'm making a note of this because i think this can provide some real comfort to others going through this, which let's face it, there's a lot.
No she means the fact that he took up the courage and said Diana i dont love you anymore, that requires balls and some deep thinking and actually run with it for days ignoring her and what not im sorry but he already not only shown her who he was but he told her also... but yeah trying to fix is a good thing but u just waste time cuz the separation is not far anymore after those revelations most of the time
@@bmmotives For your sake I pray you don't believe that. Because if you do you have years of heart break ahead of you. Happy growing. Love really isn't this hard.
@@ShawnteAmoure clearly you don’t know them nor did you watch their journey for year. And it’s you that will have years of heart break kmt don’t project that to me because of a comment.
What I’m saying is he was checked out from the relationship years ago but men don’t believe in wasting their time so they’ll stick around and just keep messing up until we get the hint
Yup. Mine has "dumped" me an continues living in our house. Cuz he's on easy street. Gtfo if that's how you feel. "I've got nowhere to go" is not my problem (he's got a 100 siblings). It was my house then jt was ours
Stories like this is why I'll never judge a woman for going through a man's phone. A lot of the time when a woman has a feeling her man is cheating they're right 90% of the time
He LITERALLY tried to break you..... I'm feeling so much emotions right now. Disbelief, sadness, disgust, and disappointment. You're strong Daina. Just wow.
I went through this. The same thing. Its like they have the same script. Thank God it was just a boyfriend. Thank God i am single now. I am now coming back to the happy creative person i was before i met him
Not even gonna lie this video is the wake up call I needed. When you’re in these types of relationships you’re blind to stuff but hearing someone else tell their story opens your eyes.
Yep you need the stronger language in the explanation of behaviors. When I left my ex it was because I imagine how I would react if my friend was telling me the same things were happening in her relationship.
He moved you out of that 5 bedroom house into his parents house so that you can’t flame him for not paying his part of rent since both of you aren’t paying rent anymore. It was never about saving up, it was the fact that he didn’t want to share responsibilities.
I really loved how she said “the five story house that I was paying all the bills for” multiple times. Girl yes. Thank you for sharing all of this, being vulnerable online is a lot. I hope you make bank off this trauma 😩
@@tonietonitone I Don’t think you should feel guilty at all! She’s getting to share her side. I’m not sure if it was this one or another video, but she’s said that so many women have shared similar experiences in her comments. I think it’s nice to see her doing well after the bullshit she’s gone through. Damn powerful tbh 🔥
Why did you love her saying she was paying for everything? They were married. Lack of sense to pay and financially irresponsible to have a five bedroom house for two people.
@@1978-m1i this is giving hater. People do have luxury and extra. Given the fact that she was paying ON HER OWN, I assume that if her ex was doing what needed to be done, it wouldn’t have been a problem at all. Why are you pocket watching like this lmaooo 🍅🍅🍅
I'm sorry I can't believe a grown man had you paying £3000+ a month in rent and bills on your own, and had the audacity to call himself your husband? AND cheat ?????? Wow
He literally LITERALLY tried to ruin and derail your life. My jaw dropped SO MANY times during this video. I am so so happy that you got out of that, and you’re shining now 🥹💞
The emotional manipulation she described is crazy. I respect her for sharing her story and warning/reminding other women. So many things you can learn from this: -Never build up a man and count on his potential. - He used her to build him up then left her with nothing. Got women and a new life based off her helping him. He literally drained her till she had nothing left and didn’t care. -This is a warning to ladies that men will use you to a point you have nothing left as long as you let them. They have no morals. And their friends will help them. -Build yourself up and meet someone that matches you. -always have your own finances. (Prepare for the worst) -Never change your boundaries in a relationship or marriage. -Never put your life on pause or neglect your dreams for a man. And make sure you have a support group of females, don’t neglect friendships for a relationship.
Exactly! When he lost his career, he started to resent her for having hers. So, he slowly grew to hate her and did everything to throw her off her path. The more she thrived, the more he started to hate himself which then caused him to behave the way he did. Stressing her out and taking her focus off her business.
It's hard and Dainá began dating him young. It usually takes experience to not only understand why you have principles in place, but to stand on them. Being emotionally invested can make you lose common sense but you have to look at long term toxic relationships not as "how much time have I invested", but "how much more time am I willing to waste on somebody who continues to prove they ain't worth a damn." You learn the fine line to walk between self preservation and relationship commitment.
him having you at his mums house was such a nasty manipulation tactic, he basically robbed you of everything you made for yourself and then wanted you to slowly feel as low and helpless as him. actually evil I’m so sorry you experienced that 🥺
The positive part of this situation is that you've had a 10 year relationship and are STILL so young. The wisdom you'll take into your next relationship will be unmatched and I truly hope it brings you onto the path of happiness
This made me deep that cheating is grounds to end the relationship right then and there. No turning back, no ifs no bits. Before I thought, cheating could be worked around through time and forgiveness but evidently the relationship after that is forever tainted and not worth salvaging. After such an act, the paranoia and distrust would drive anyone crazy. Cheating is too much of a betrayal unless you would be able to work within a polygamous relationship. It’s just never the same smh.
The problem is 99% of the time if you forgive them they WILL do it again. Yes, there are very nuanced situations where someone does just cheat once and then they learn/grow together, but most of the time they know that you’ll put up with it and they don’t care how badly it hurts.
Never. I realised very young it’s a no for me. I DON’T have that forgive and forget or work on it heart when it comes to that type of betrayal. So guess what when it happened I immediately left at 17/18.
Even if you could do polygamy, never do it with a cheater. They have already demonstrated that they are untrustworthy, dishonest and selfish. The levels of trust and communication that I've heard it takes to bee polygamous without being a whole clown tell me that cheaters are suited to that lifestyle. In fact, the bait and switch of a man manipulating a woman into polygamy AFTER he betrayed an originally monogamous commitment is a GIANT red flag. He'll bait and switch you out of everything else, including sexual and reproductive health after that. It's just a hotbed of STDs and babytrapping waiting to happen.
And this is the reason why I wouldn’t stay even if I really wanted to! Because mentally it’s not worth it, especially if you have kids. Imagine that just being depressed and crying all the time being paranoid and stressed always being in doubt it’s awful!
Making you pay all the bills and cheating. My blood is boiling. I was cheated on but my guy paid for everything and that hurt like hell. I cant even think about being cheated on while losing all of my financial security. You are so strong Daina
@@mdot1799 Women birth kids and do 90% of the child and domestic labour. It’s utter stupidity for a woman to pay anything when she’s paying with her entire body and labour. What exactly do men bring to the table? Like Ahmet, what did he bring? She already did all the cooking, cleaning and emotional labour, then paid for everything too while my man is just chilling at home. Men are dead weight in this day and age then y’all cry about losing your masculinity and identity. So unattractive 🤮
@@ye23. when you’re married it’s a completely different mindset. I know I took my husband back for the sake of working on our marriage. When you take vows and commit to a lifetime with someone you’ll try until you just can’t. These liars and cheaters only think of themselves and it’s rare that someone takes marriage reconciliation serious. I’ve been in her shoes so I get it. There were things in my previous relationships that I would have never tolerated but I put up with it in my marriage.
Im 22 and Im living with my partner... at the end of our tenancy in 3 months I am going back to my parent's house because he cheated on me online. I don't want to have to deal with him escalating the cheating... as a young girl its really scary because I never went through this before. I accepted to rent a place with him thinking he truly loved me but he's been cheating on me and I don't understand why would you make such a big decision if you are going to cheat on me...
@@aliyaplummer the thing is it appears only ONE of you were talking those vows seriously. In which case, you need to know it’s time to respect yourself and walk away
@@JamesCM86 I agree, but like I said, when you commit to forever with someone, you will most likely give more than one or two chances. If you have a child and they mess up, disrespect you, etc, you aren’t going to just disown them from the first incident.
For anyone who’s been through narcissistic abuse, this story hits close to home. I cried a few times watching this because I actually felt your pain. The part where he randomly told you he doesn’t love you anymore and you described him as “ cold” that’s where he was making you go through the devaluing stage. A stage where your partner turns cold, and yet you’re there confused and extremely depressed trying to figure out where it all went wrong. It was his plan to do it right after he felt you had nothing to offer him after he depleted you financially and removed you from the house. He’s an absolute piece of shit. I am so proud of you Diana. A lot of people who haven’t gone through NA can listen to your story and learn from it and for people who have unfortunately experienced narcissistic abuse, you have no idea how it feels to know we are not alone. We love you! I’m happy to see you at the other side and you’re giving us all hope! Thank you.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you!!!!! These narcs need to be exposed. They set out to ruin you from the beginning and you don’t see it coming because you have no agenda.
@@idontcare2046 they never change. He wants something from you so do not give in. My narcissistic exfiance did the same to me. He tried to break me but I was string enough to see through his bullshitt.
I am so disgusted by him… not only did he ruin your mental health but compromised your physical health as well!! And the health of these other women. He needs psychological help. He probably didn’t want to go to a therapist because for some reason he probably can’t face who he is as a person. So sorry you had to go through that!
Imagine going through that with a child. You are so smart for not getting pregnant by him. I’m so glad you are free for his cheating. I’m sorry you had to endure this for this long. You’re so strong.
I hope daina realizes how healing this is for all of us. I literally went through a toxic relationship that I didn't realize was toxic and ended it officially in September after 3 years. Genuinely thought he was my soulmate and future husband at one point to feeling broken by the end. We had a closure conversation today and I'm finally free. This series came at the PERFECT time. Your ex sounds like a narcissist and mine had bipolar disorder and a lot of the behavior sounds similar. The sex addiction, lack of accountability, the back and forth with emotions, emotional Rollercoaster, etc.
I love the amount of views you are getting from these videos. You deserve it.. my heart goes out to you. I remember watching you from the tootsie time days and the algorithm brought me back to you. Us women need to stop holding men down, I've made the same mistake a couple times and recieved nothing in return! Never again! Stay strong Dainá xx
It's crazy these mom's would never excuse this behavior is it was the woman doing it. They never do. I'd daina was the one doing this her mother in law would have taken matters into her own. Hands to save the son. I hope this generation does not take this mentality forward
@@Bianca.Nceeee Sons can do no wrong in their eyes, doesn’t matter how many times he has violent outbursts and cussed you out or goes out late ir doesn’t support you, you don’t talk shit about their son, he is the victim
Girl. People be out here admiring these fake influencer relationship as "couple goals". lol! If only they knew. After Niki & Jamie were done. I was done done done.
Am I the only one who’s loving this new side of Dainá? The look, the background, the sexy dresses… The music. I swear when I’m at the gym I have to play your new stuff. It gives me a confidence boost and I be feeling myself.
I can’t lie…I wasn’t shocked hearing any of this, because like many ppl- I’ve had the unfortunate but valuable experience of dealing with a narcissist and once you know 1 narc- you know them all! But it’s still hard to listen to the abuse they inflict 😔 They WILL destroy you if you let them. All I can say is, I’m forever proud of you and I love you girl! Oh and you look STUNNING!❤️
Cheating and I’m paying all the bills? I would’ve flipped the world over. The pros must’ve outweighed the cons because baayyybeeee. This is why men want younger women. They don’t know any better for themselves. So men can walk all over them. And men love that they can do that. It’s sick and twisted.
honestly im loving this series..the amount of RELATION...omg we really need to pay attention to the red flags..we only got one life to live..dont let a man or a womans potential..stop us..keep healing and loving you frfr your vibe is refreshing af lol
Once you have to constantly start checking your partner's social media/messages it's truly the end. Trust is the most important aspect of a relationship. Looks like he also took advantage of the fact that you were paying for nearly everything and began to depend on you.
I agree! I caught my ex messaging (several) other women and I read all of the inappropriate messages that had gone on between them. I started constantly checking his phone and social media because it was just so hard to trust him after that. I was always wondering if he was cheating if he was late coming to my house, or if he was lying when he told me he stayed later at work. I stayed with him, but I was still angry about it and from time to time I would bring up the things he had done. One day I just got sick of it all and I was like, "I'm done." and ended our relationship. My heart just wasn't in it anymore after being treated like that and I wasn't going to waste anymore of my life and time with him.
@@greatgownsbeautifulgowns thank goodness you left in the end. It's never easy to step out once you are attached to a person, but we have to choose ourselves every single time.
It’s very common that men get jealous of their partner. You were the breadwinner, you’re gorgeous, and you have a reliable steady income… which was more than he made! God bless you girl. Thank god you never carried his child. I’m so happy for you and your growth Dainá fr 🖤
He was going on ski trips outside of the country but couldn’t help his wife pay the bills? Wow. Going halves on the storage ? He could have covered that at least. This is so sad. He only came back to you after cheating to boost his ego. He couldn’t take rejection & he didn’t want to deal with the consequences of his action. Definitely a narcissist
For the record Diana... nothing about your story gave embarrassment. From watching your videos (all these years) your characteristic always gave confidence, strength and nothing less and this right here proved exactly that. It takes so much to make these kinds of videos. Nbs, I’m really excited for new journey... I really can’t wait to see you at your happiest 👏🏾
I’m so disappointed that the moms on both sides weren’t supportive of you valuing your decision more , it’s okay for us women to not put up with the same things others will. I enjoyed the video ❤
Same. It's crazy how they expected her to stay with someone that is hurting her so much. She was expected to be the good wife and work things out but he was cheating and destroying their relationship. They would much rather have her lose herself in her marriage than her have peace in her life.
@@luyandamthembu5678 This is a major problem. Traumatised bw with low self esteem raising another generation of BW to be the same. We all need to actively break this mess with our own children.
It’s especially jarring because if she was the one doing dirt, they wouldn’t hesitate to tell him to bounce. Why are women encouraged to ride out the storms and overcome obstacles and struggles that MEN create, yet men are encouraged to know their self worth?
@@Caljay213 i disagree... that may have been in our grandparents (80+) generation but these parents (50-70+) these baby boomer and gen x mothers were largely the bread winners in married households...it wasnt rent and bills.
I can’t imagine being married to a man that can turn so cold and evil. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. I’m so sorry you went through this. Im happy you’re passed it and on the other side now. Wishing you absolute abundance and happiness
This is what I just thought. This is just a regular relationship. It's your whole husband, and they turn EVIL on you??? I would probably go crazy and not recover !
I’m late to this comment, but that’s exactly how my ex husband was. He was the perfect guy. The perfect partner, the perfect best friend to me. And then very shortly after we were tied down in marriage, things just went so wack. Suddenly I was chasing him all the time, meanwhile he seemed he had little to no interest in me anymore. Basically overnight. It did make sense in the end, because I ended up finding out he’d cheated, and the cheating only continued but I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. Someone you 110% thought was your soulmate just turning their back on you when you did nothing but love and support them 😢
This woman is extremely healed. It takes a healed person to be able to be this transparent about even the embarrassing things you have done. God bless her
I wonder if it's because ever since he first started cheating years ago, Dainá already had one foot out the door and had begun to heal then knowing the future of their relationship was uncertain.
He truly sounds like a narcissist smh. I hate that this happened to you, but I’m so happy to see you thriving! I love seeing women come back from heartache better than ever 💚 Edit: If you weren’t the breadwinner, you could’ve taken him to the cleaners from this divorce. The disrespect from this guy is crazy 🤨
It's so sad that the older women (the mothers) encouraged you to remain in a financially, and emotionally abusive relationship. It's Patriarchy and the women who up hold it
Yeah that’s quite disheartening telling her your married and to try work it out yet he’s going around with other women didn’t consider his marriage then don’t get that
That man is a literal physical manifestation of a demon, I am so glad you rid him from your life. The lengths men will go to suck the life out of you and try to turn you into nothing, when you are such a bright wonderful soul, a goddess if you will. They will never be able to be comfortable understanding the fact that women are powerful and we are the reason nations are built because we have the power to give life and to nurture. I'm glad you have become stronger from this and I hope you excel in everything you do and you become so big not to show off to other people but because you deserve everything good in life.
This web series is devastating tbh but I hope it also feels like a satisfying sigh too not having to hide how hurt you were. Dainá you look great. The thing about love is if it was someone else going through it we notice it sooner and advise them to end it. However, when it’s our own relationship we often miss or ignore obvious red flags. Never mind, we live and we learn.
I feel that. I went crazy after dating a narcissist, he would accuse me of cheating constantly but turns out the entire time he was messaging other girls. I lost myself and became so insecure. I don't want to ever let a guy make me feel like that again. Glad you got rid of him.
I literally almost physically shook and felt the unbridled rage you felt when you told your story. I've also been in similar situation, completely blindsided and heartbroken. It's the worst kind of pain. Lucky you didn't have any children in the middle of this. I had a child with my ex and it further complicates things as you can imagine.
I watched you through this entire journey and as an empath and someone whose been through similar I saw you. His energy was equally telling. I hope people realize how powerful you speaking your truth and advancing your life is. Wait till the masses finally realize how you express your feelings so effectively through your music. It'll be way up from there. Don't ever quit, keep going. Happiness is truly a journey and not a destination. Stay consistent and your true fans will def support. We see your worth!
This is one of the REALEST story times I’ve watched in a longggg time! This was so triggering for me but we need to speak our truth more instead of protecting these piece of shit men! Diana I applaud you so much and I’m so proud of your for finally speaking your truth!!! Like someone said, milk this series for all it’s worth!! Collect them coins girls!! You deserve the world and more and you’ll definitely get it! ❤
He really failed you as a husband. I feel like a lot of these men don’t know how to be proper men. So happy that you chose you and that your doing better. I’m cheering for you
I felt so sad hearing the part where you describe trying to save your marriage. There’s no shame/embarrassment sis, you loved that man & made a vow of commitment. In a time where less and less people value the institution of marriage there’s nothing embarrassing about that. You tried for your marriage and that shows the quality of your character.
I've always said this. The more enviable someone's relationship looks, the less you should want it. Strong foundations are often peaceful and private, once it starts becoming content be aware that it's probably to compensate for something. (And this includes real life couples you know who won't shut up about how perfect they are for each other, not just internet content creators)
As much as i want a relationship, listening to your life made me realize i am worth so much more than what these boys have to offer. 2 seconds of attention and feeling wanted is not worth 10+ years of misery and suffering. And you definitely do not look like what you’ve been through and i appreciate how much class your telling this experience with❤❤
As someone who in my 20s took a cheater back only for him to do it again, I am now a firm believer of the saying "once a cheater always a cheater". I leaned a valuable life lesson from situation and will never, ever forgive a cheater again.
Listening to this is making me believe I have ptsd as I feel like its me going through it! Hearing these stories drags up long buried memories of similar situations I went through with my ex. Men really have no idea how traumatic it can be to be deceived by someone you love and trust. I'm so sorry this happened to you, but you are shining now girl!
@@adwoasam9237 It’s always double standards with many men when it comes to sex. Having a spicy past would trigger many to the point where they don’t see women the same anymore
It's simple, he's a hardcore manipulator and narcissist. Them type of people will never change unless they want to. The best thing you did was leave him, otherwise he would have ruined you.
Best story times ever! I’m so invested. You’re one hell of a story teller! After following you for so long, it’s so eye opening to see what you’ve dealt with all these years behind closed doors. You’re one strong woman!
This made my blood boil oh my GOD!! You are a real warrior for telling this story from anywhere but jail fr. This man intentionally set out to hurt and derail you and he was your HUSBAND!!! Like who needs enemies when you're loved ones are like this? ?
It’s always the lowest moments, the times that make us feel the most shameful and embarrassed that we blossom in the most beautiful way. Been watching you since HS and aside from everything hurtful that you shared, what I heard the most from this series is a woman coming to terms with what she will and will not accept. No matter how long it took you to get it, you got it. And that my girl, is a blessing! Love YOU up Daina 🫶🏾
Idk if anyone else is thinking this but I feel like once he realized that you was not loaded with money any more it’s like he discarded you because you was not his cash cow any more smh he moved you out your house just to break up with you and make you damn near homeless 😢I’m sorry you went through this
I hate how families always seem to be siding with the cheating husband. Always asking the wife to work it out, to stick it out, to stay, to help the husband stop cheating like… No ! He betrayed the marriage. He’s the one who broke his vows, so why is the weight of the marriage falling apart always on the wife’s shoulders ? Why is it that when she’s the one sad and crying and trying it equals pathetic, but when he cries and he’s the one sad and trying last minute, everyone rallies behind him ? This makes me so mad. 😤
Once a cheater, always a cheater!! I'm glad you got out of this relationship, I'm sorry it was a marriage. I'm sure you went thru so much heartbreak and heartache but it would have only continued... Now you can work on yourself and find yourself a man who knows how wonderful and priceless you are and treats you like the queen you are!!👑❤️♥️
He is a narssassist he tried to break you. I was in a relationship like that. The constant cheating,lies,manipulation,toxicity was just draining . I left and went back so many times before finally deciding to break free for good. The unfortunate thing is I didn't know what a narssassist was until I got older. Once I realize who he is ,he could never control me again . I left and never look back. I am so proud of you for being so strong . You deserve better for a husband. You're so beautiful and strong. I hope you find the partner you deserve some day.
You cannot tell me cheating is not emotionally abusive, because GIRL, the second he got you out of your house and making less money he immediately turned the dial from just cheating to gaslighting, manipulation, and devaluing you as well. This man knew when he got you into a vulnerable place and things immediately got worse. And the part where you were asking him if he wanted you to be in your room crying hit so hard. I asked my abusive ex if he wanted me to be crying after he acted out and he got so quiet, because that's exactly what he wanted. Abusive men get off on the negative emotional response they get from you. They love to see you crying, or anxious or angry because being able to get that response makes them feel powerful. The fact that he got angry when you were calm (my ex would do that too) is so telling. That man is a sociopath.
Not him saying “this ain’t me” when that’s literally been him the whole time. Some men are just sickening 🙄🤢. You really went through it in your whole relationship with him Daina and I’m really sorry about everything that’s happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story with us, lol it’s really knocking some sense into my head so I don’t even think to get back with my ex who’s cheated on me.
@@Caljay213 why some men behave like this, I will never understand 🤦🏾♀️ I’m so sorry you even had to go through that babe, and good for you that you left that situation!
Jesus… did Ahmet even _like_ you? He couldn’t have, all of this sounds so hateful, it’s unhinged. To dangle you on a string and bleed you out like that, nah.. no one deserves that. Even to reduce you as a sex buddy towards the end is truly vile and he entrapped you as well. All of this is very toxic and very abusive, I’m sorry you went through all that.
Typical narc behaviour it’s like the read the same book, deep down most of them are battling with their sexuality because it’s clear they don’t like or respect women.
Typical BLACK MALE behavior! Most are filled with self hatred so they really don’t have the capacity to love anyone else. That’s why they are treating their so called preferences just the same as they treat black women. They don’t care about anyone but themselves. Do yourselves a favor and choose you. Love is not traumatic, painful and leaves you a shell of your former self. Deprogram yourself of your toxic upbringing and let’s be the first generation of black women to finally choose ourselves over being mules to black males.
DAINA ! this is literally exactly like my relationship. it made me sad to hear this coming from you bc as a teenager i looked up to you and your confidence. as a girl i was like “this woman don’t take no shit” but i also loved hearing this journey bc it made me feel less alone. i don’t feel as ashamed for what happened in my relationship bc it happened to a woman that i thought was untouchable. i hope that doesn’t sound rude bc i mean it in the best way. my ex was insane. he couldn’t NOT talk to other women. i didn’t find out until 6 years in that he was a completely different person than i thought he was. i remember finding out about things he did and the pure shock and fear i felt. i’m so glad you were vulnerable enough to share this with us. it really is comforting to know that my situation isn’t unique bc for so long i felt like a stupid girl for having dealt with any of that bs.
You are more forgiving than I think I could ever be. I feel like if you can look me in my eyes lie and then go out to cheat and try to sleep with me afterward, what else are you capable of?
This! I just kept thinking throughout this video "Lord please let me NEVER love a man this much!" I just can't imagine a man looking me in my eyes and telling me he doesn't love me and not immediately going, "Bet." Begging him to explain and give a good reason? I just don't think my heart could take it!
My heart broke when you said you were doing everything to keep your marriage together and it was crumbling in your face. I went through the same exact thing.
Girlll! Keep talking make back all that money you that missed while having to hold this all in and be miserable. Once again so happy you are in better place and able to tell your story.
Wow......... Daina I've been a silent watcher for sooooo many years. This? THIS? How you survived this???? You are incredible!!!!! So much love, light, strenght to you!!! Hope you chose therapy for yourself, and take time for healing yourself! Air out his dirty laundry. GET YOUR MONEYYYY!!
I’ve never related to a video/story like this in my life. Thankyou so much for being so raw and honest and keeping it 100% real. You’re giving other women who are going through this the opportunity to reflect and heal and understand they’re not alone. I hope you have healed Daina !!! You deserve to be able to live your life now and experience happiness ❤
He begged for you back because having you back meant cheaper bills, in house sex and free domestic labor. Everything he said he was going to do fell flat as soon as he had you tied up because that's what manipulators do- say anything to convince you to get their own needs met. I KNEW the house thing was not going to happen and he had zero intention of making sure that happened.
He didn’t want to do UA-cam in case the girls confront him about his marriage. It would be hard for him to say he’s single if y’all are doing couple videos.
A month into moving he wanted to be a single man?????? The way I'm cussing right now!!!!!!! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 I really wish you had cut him loose then cause this is some BS! Don't let no one tell you that they don't want you more than once.
This makes me sooo sad! I am so sorry you went through so much. The manipulation, gas lighting, hypocrisy, false hope. Everything. Honestly breaks my heart
He was jealous girl!! He made sure you was down and he was thriving to drop you. SMH, and not only did he drop you, he wanted to make sure that no one else had you either. It was all about him and his EGO! He knew your worth. He didn’t want you to know it though.
Guys, don’t forget to watch the ads, don’t skip any of them. Our good sis will at least get a hefty cheque off these videos. Daina, I’m so sorry you went through this. I’m wincing listening to this, mouth ajar. But I’m even happier you have moved on from that nonsense. You’re so much better than that and him.
Ladies take heed. My advice, from life experience at this point, people lie. It’s up to you to do your due diligence with asking the right questions. Someone’s actions speak 10 times louder than their words. Stop giving chances over and over, which is common for us women to do. Leave them before they have the chance to break you too. Relationships are hard but you are worth more than any relationship. Your physical and mental health is lost important. Pay attention to the red flags, set your boundaries and non negotiables, and leave when they aren’t honored. Also take accountability and forgive your own self for allowing the mistreatment or believing the lies, it’s okay! These things happen. Somethings are not about the other person. Sometimes we want love so badly that we accept accept accept. Work on yourself, heal your own trauma, and bums will not be able to get close to you trust.
The crazy thing is that mans even stopped lying! He said he wanted to be single. He said he wasn't in love with her anymore. At that point, what more did she need to hear? (I don't mean this oon a mean way, just in a common sense way of once a man tells you something, TAKE NOTE and stop deluding yourself.) A lot of women would escape so much sooner of we didn't try to explain away clear and plain disrespect and rejection. These men actually don't lie too well and when they tell us the truth, we don't listen!
@@wolfsisterhowls I have to be honest and agree. Because I’ve been there. When there is an ideal that you are fulfilling or living up to it becomes a bit easier to let yourself be delusional. The devil you know often feels better than the devil you don’t. But the same things happen with different people until you realize that you can’t live in lala land any longer.
@@wolfsisterhowls I also feel like the pressure to maintain a marriage, due to societal and possibly religious or other constructs, makes it harder to leave. You feel like you have got to work it out with your spouse. But someone who doesn’t hold the same views on commitment isn’t held to the same standards in their mind. They know they can cheat and lie and you won’t leave because you are loyal to the marriage or relationship.
@@saracee3003 I agree also. This ish happened to me and even worst found out it was from the start plus at the end he was pimping himself out (I ran to the gum clinic ASAP) but as soon as I found out, I exited real quick. There wasn't anything this man was going to say to me to stay cause I would me mentally insane to do so.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS VIDEO DURING EXPORT BUT IT DEFFO WAS NOT REPEATING/GLITCHING WHEN I EDITED IT! APOLOGIES IF THIS MAKES IT HARD TO WATCH BUT TRY TO IGNORE IT 🥺
You are so BEautifullll
Girl, I'm at the people dem job watching this. Thank God your out of that relationship!! 🎉👏🏾
Lol I thought you did that to emphasize the point
To me, it’s just emphasizing certain parts sis. We love you no matter what Daina. You’re a great woman! Someone will appreciate you❤️💪🏽
I think it’s good you have learned where you went wrong romantically. But I do hope you realise the poor financial decisions you both made aswell. Hopefully you set between 15-70k to actually buy a flat or house in somewhere affordable instead of paying excessive money to help pay someone’s mortgage off for them and going forward invest a large portion of all your funds going forward.
The fact you’re telling this story from your house and not jail, I commend you😭👏🏾🖤
Lisssseeeeennnnnnn
Honestly 😂😂😂😂
Fr she’s a better woman than me 😅
girrlllll I would be in somebody halfway house talkin to my great grandma.. who has been dead for over 20 years!
For a man? No thanks lol
Once he lost his career, he began to resent you for still having yours. He secretly grew to hate you for being good to him, and the more he cheated and treated you poorly, the more he began to hate himself. He projected his self hate on you. He was this guy all along, but the more you thrived and had something special about you, the deeper he got in self-pity. He wanted to see how far he could break you because he needed to see you as an equal. That's how he sees himself. I'm glad you're no longer in a relationship that was literally driving you mad. The more you thrive, the more his resent will grow. Be careful and godspeed!!!
Yes and yes that's exactly what I was thinking but props to her to a better and brighter future!
This is a sum of my past relationships word for word !!!!
You surmised that shit perfectly. I'm making a note of this because i think this can provide some real comfort to others going through this, which let's face it, there's a lot.
Yup. My ex was the same.
I can say from experience this really what happens 😢
Never let a man tell you he doesn't want you more than once. I am soooooo glad you finally chose YOU! Very proud of you.
He always wanted her, he alone said that because he knew he was stepping out on her and yamming next girls front
No she means the fact that he took up the courage and said Diana i dont love you anymore, that requires balls and some deep thinking and actually run with it for days ignoring her and what not im sorry but he already not only shown her who he was but he told her also... but yeah trying to fix is a good thing but u just waste time cuz the separation is not far anymore after those revelations most of the time
@@bmmotives For your sake I pray you don't believe that. Because if you do you have years of heart break ahead of you. Happy growing. Love really isn't this hard.
@@ShawnteAmoure clearly you don’t know them nor did you watch their journey for year. And it’s you that will have years of heart break kmt don’t project that to me because of a comment.
@@bmmotives 😂😂😂😂
Men don’t break up with women they just act up until you leave
What I’m saying is he was checked out from the relationship years ago but men don’t believe in wasting their time so they’ll stick around and just keep messing up until we get the hint
This is true very true.
Sounds so passive
Not masculine at all, those boys have too much time to waste, they think everything is a game
Yup. Mine has "dumped" me an continues living in our house. Cuz he's on easy street. Gtfo if that's how you feel. "I've got nowhere to go" is not my problem (he's got a 100 siblings). It was my house then jt was ours
@@Loveit45stick around for the benefit and company
Stories like this is why I'll never judge a woman for going through a man's phone. A lot of the time when a woman has a feeling her man is cheating they're right 90% of the time
Facts
Yes sis milk this series for whatever it is! Get that compensation
Period 😂
😂😂
And I’ll watch every vid too!!
Absolutely!! I hope she gets every dime.
Period!!!!
He LITERALLY tried to break you..... I'm feeling so much emotions right now. Disbelief, sadness, disgust, and disappointment. You're strong Daina. Just wow.
♥️
I agree. He got her to his parents’ so he could implement “devaluation” or “break her” as you put it.
Crazy bc I went through the same thing!! Took me 15 years to free myself from it all. He took a lot from me, but God restored me. Healed me.
I went through this. The same thing. Its like they have the same script. Thank God it was just a boyfriend. Thank God i am single now. I am now coming back to the happy creative person i was before i met him
They always end up trying to break you after they’ve ruined things. It’s heartbreaking, sometimes more than the initial betrayal
Not even gonna lie this video is the wake up call I needed. When you’re in these types of relationships you’re blind to stuff but hearing someone else tell their story opens your eyes.
💯
Yep you need the stronger language in the explanation of behaviors. When I left my ex it was because I imagine how I would react if my friend was telling me the same things were happening in her relationship.
@@estherbjerga523this is such good advice that i recently been taking as well. it’s okay to leave someone you still love because of how they treat you
when you ask each other for passwords, than the relationsship is over
He moved you out of that 5 bedroom house into his parents house so that you can’t flame him for not paying his part of rent since both of you aren’t paying rent anymore.
It was never about saving up, it was the fact that he didn’t want to share responsibilities.
Facts tho'
God, he trapped her like a real scum.
I really loved how she said “the five story house that I was paying all the bills for” multiple times. Girl yes. Thank you for sharing all of this, being vulnerable online is a lot. I hope you make bank off this trauma 😩
right & I feel guilty lowkey watching but 1) at least she's making bread off it 2) hopefully someone's eyes open from hearing her story
@@tonietonitone I Don’t think you should feel guilty at all! She’s getting to share her side. I’m not sure if it was this one or another video, but she’s said that so many women have shared similar experiences in her comments. I think it’s nice to see her doing well after the bullshit she’s gone through. Damn powerful tbh 🔥
Why did you love her saying she was paying for everything? They were married. Lack of sense to pay and financially irresponsible to have a five bedroom house for two people.
@@1978-m1i this is giving hater. People do have luxury and extra. Given the fact that she was paying ON HER OWN, I assume that if her ex was doing what needed to be done, it wouldn’t have been a problem at all. Why are you pocket watching like this lmaooo 🍅🍅🍅
Why does this sounds like what ive been through😢
I'm sorry I can't believe a grown man had you paying £3000+ a month in rent and bills on your own, and had the audacity to call himself your husband? AND cheat ?????? Wow
Right. Smh
He is not an isolated case, the world is crawling with these cute in the face BUMS!
That's why I'm not paying no bills. Men have higher capacity for foolishness so in my marriage I don't want to pay more than 25% of the total bills
Foreal that alone his ass would've been divorced
That’s how men feel
He literally LITERALLY tried to ruin and derail your life. My jaw dropped SO MANY times during this video. I am so so happy that you got out of that, and you’re shining now 🥹💞
The emotional manipulation she described is crazy. I respect her for sharing her story and warning/reminding other women. So many things you can learn from this:
-Never build up a man and count on his potential.
- He used her to build him up then left her with nothing. Got women and a new life based off her helping him. He literally drained her till she had nothing left and didn’t care.
-This is a warning to ladies that men will use you to a point you have nothing left as long as you let them. They have no morals. And their friends will help them.
-Build yourself up and meet someone that matches you.
-always have your own finances. (Prepare for the worst)
-Never change your boundaries in a relationship or marriage.
-Never put your life on pause or neglect your dreams for a man.
And make sure you have a support group of females, don’t neglect friendships for a relationship.
Exactly! When he lost his career, he started to resent her for having hers. So, he slowly grew to hate her and did everything to throw her off her path. The more she thrived, the more he started to hate himself which then caused him to behave the way he did. Stressing her out and taking her focus off her business.
@@krissy9128she was more of a man than him and he couldn't take it. Cheat, leave, whatever but dont bring the girl down with you. Thats low...
Men always try to derail your life and success when they can’t control you anymore smh. Terrifying
Babysitting and micromanaging a grown man means doom, whether it's the woman's insecurity or the man's infidelity. Walk away once that's on the table.
I agree but when you’re in it. It’s just hard. Especially when you love that person.
Absolutely but when you’re in DEEP, you’re not thinking straight
It's hard and Dainá began dating him young. It usually takes experience to not only understand why you have principles in place, but to stand on them. Being emotionally invested can make you lose common sense but you have to look at long term toxic relationships not as "how much time have I invested", but "how much more time am I willing to waste on somebody who continues to prove they ain't worth a damn." You learn the fine line to walk between self preservation and relationship commitment.
I’m for try again but this one was done, because he wasn’t trying to change. Sigh
@@Katice634 You have to love yourself more.
him having you at his mums house was such a nasty manipulation tactic, he basically robbed you of everything you made for yourself and then wanted you to slowly feel as low and helpless as him. actually evil I’m so sorry you experienced that 🥺
The positive part of this situation is that you've had a 10 year relationship and are STILL so young. The wisdom you'll take into your next relationship will be unmatched and I truly hope it brings you onto the path of happiness
Is she 33 now? I can't remember but yes still young either way
Yes I agree! Also that she didn't have a child for this man. Because then she'll have to deal with him for the rest of her life.
This made me deep that cheating is grounds to end the relationship right then and there. No turning back, no ifs no bits. Before I thought, cheating could be worked around through time and forgiveness but evidently the relationship after that is forever tainted and not worth salvaging. After such an act, the paranoia and distrust would drive anyone crazy. Cheating is too much of a betrayal unless you would be able to work within a polygamous relationship. It’s just never the same smh.
The problem is 99% of the time if you forgive them they WILL do it again. Yes, there are very nuanced situations where someone does just cheat once and then they learn/grow together, but most of the time they know that you’ll put up with it and they don’t care how badly it hurts.
Never. I realised very young it’s a no for me. I DON’T have that forgive and forget or work on it heart when it comes to that type of betrayal. So guess what when it happened I immediately left at 17/18.
Even if you could do polygamy, never do it with a cheater. They have already demonstrated that they are untrustworthy, dishonest and selfish. The levels of trust and communication that I've heard it takes to bee polygamous without being a whole clown tell me that cheaters are suited to that lifestyle. In fact, the bait and switch of a man manipulating a woman into polygamy AFTER he betrayed an originally monogamous commitment is a GIANT red flag. He'll bait and switch you out of everything else, including sexual and reproductive health after that. It's just a hotbed of STDs and babytrapping waiting to happen.
And this is the reason why I wouldn’t stay even if I really wanted to!
Because mentally it’s not worth it, especially if you have kids. Imagine that just being depressed and crying all the time being paranoid and stressed always being in doubt it’s awful!
Cheating is horrible. Women often forget that these men bring home STD/STI’s… like how can anyone be ok with that?
Making you pay all the bills and cheating. My blood is boiling. I was cheated on but my guy paid for everything and that hurt like hell. I cant even think about being cheated on while losing all of my financial security. You are so strong Daina
Her decision. I would've got myself a studio. Moved out and left him with the house
Now u know how men feel
@@mdot1799 Women birth kids and do 90% of the child and domestic labour. It’s utter stupidity for a woman to pay anything when she’s paying with her entire body and labour. What exactly do men bring to the table? Like Ahmet, what did he bring? She already did all the cooking, cleaning and emotional labour, then paid for everything too while my man is just chilling at home. Men are dead weight in this day and age then y’all cry about losing your masculinity and identity. So unattractive 🤮
@@mdot1799🤡🤡🤡
I left my lying husband at the end of December. What these men put us through is a mental illness.
I cant believe she went back to him twice. How manipulative this man was
@@ye23. when you’re married it’s a completely different mindset. I know I took my husband back for the sake of working on our marriage. When you take vows and commit to a lifetime with someone you’ll try until you just can’t. These liars and cheaters only think of themselves and it’s rare that someone takes marriage reconciliation serious. I’ve been in her shoes so I get it. There were things in my previous relationships that I would have never tolerated but I put up with it in my marriage.
Im 22 and Im living with my partner... at the end of our tenancy in 3 months I am going back to my parent's house because he cheated on me online. I don't want to have to deal with him escalating the cheating... as a young girl its really scary because I never went through this before. I accepted to rent a place with him thinking he truly loved me but he's been cheating on me and I don't understand why would you make such a big decision if you are going to cheat on me...
@@aliyaplummer the thing is it appears only ONE of you were talking those vows seriously. In which case, you need to know it’s time to respect yourself and walk away
@@JamesCM86 I agree, but like I said, when you commit to forever with someone, you will most likely give more than one or two chances. If you have a child and they mess up, disrespect you, etc, you aren’t going to just disown them from the first incident.
For anyone who’s been through narcissistic abuse, this story hits close to home. I cried a few times watching this because I actually felt your pain.
The part where he randomly told you he doesn’t love you anymore and you described him as “ cold” that’s where he was making you go through the devaluing stage. A stage where your partner turns cold, and yet you’re there confused and extremely depressed trying to figure out where it all went wrong. It was his plan to do it right after he felt you had nothing to offer him after he depleted you financially and removed you from the house. He’s an absolute piece of shit. I am so proud of you Diana. A lot of people who haven’t gone through NA can listen to your story and learn from it and for people who have unfortunately experienced narcissistic abuse, you have no idea how it feels to know we are not alone. We love you! I’m happy to see you at the other side and you’re giving us all hope! Thank you.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you!!!!! These narcs need to be exposed. They set out to ruin you from the beginning and you don’t see it coming because you have no agenda.
I felt that too especially the part where she said she felt numb to it and it no longer bothered her anymore when he said that to her 😓
sis you just said it all. thank you! exactly this!!!!
I went through this while pregnant smh completely depressed now my baby’s father wants me back and says that he’s changed 🙄
@@idontcare2046 they never change. He wants something from you so do not give in.
My narcissistic exfiance did the same to me. He tried to break me but I was string enough to see through his bullshitt.
I know all about the crying next to a man that don’t even care and act like you don’t even exist, and it’s truly the worst feeling ever.
I am so disgusted by him… not only did he ruin your mental health but compromised your physical health as well!! And the health of these other women. He needs psychological help. He probably didn’t want to go to a therapist because for some reason he probably can’t face who he is as a person. So sorry you had to go through that!
Daina looks TF good! When women choose themselves they glow different ❤
Yass

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐
FACT
Her dress sense and style is on point too. She doesnt try too hard she has swag. I love confident and strong women!
Imagine going through that with a child. You are so smart for not getting pregnant by him. I’m so glad you are free for his cheating. I’m sorry you had to endure this for this long. You’re so strong.
I hope daina realizes how healing this is for all of us. I literally went through a toxic relationship that I didn't realize was toxic and ended it officially in September after 3 years. Genuinely thought he was my soulmate and future husband at one point to feeling broken by the end. We had a closure conversation today and I'm finally free. This series came at the PERFECT time. Your ex sounds like a narcissist and mine had bipolar disorder and a lot of the behavior sounds similar. The sex addiction, lack of accountability, the back and forth with emotions, emotional Rollercoaster, etc.
I'm so happy your free now, it won't be an easy road but you'll come out better and happier than ever ❤️
I love the amount of views you are getting from these videos. You deserve it.. my heart goes out to you. I remember watching you from the tootsie time days and the algorithm brought me back to you.
Us women need to stop holding men down, I've made the same mistake a couple times and recieved nothing in return! Never again!
Stay strong Dainá xx
It blows my mind that both mothers knew the levels of violations that he put you through and still asked you take him back and endure more abuse.
It's crazy these mom's would never excuse this behavior is it was the woman doing it. They never do. I'd daina was the one doing this her mother in law would have taken matters into her own. Hands to save the son. I hope this generation does not take this mentality forward

She looks soooo good
Imagine cheating on this fine babe
He 100% moved you to his parents house because he knew he was going to try and end it. He didn’t want to commit to a new lease elsewhere.
I can’t lie…I wasn’t shocked hearing any of this, because like many ppl- I’ve had the unfortunate but valuable experience of dealing with a narcissist and once you know 1 narc- you know them all!
But it’s still hard to listen to the abuse they inflict 😔 They WILL destroy you if you let them.
All I can say is, I’m forever proud of you and I love you girl!
Oh and you look STUNNING!❤️
If you know 1 narc , you know them all. - Golden and most truest words ever spoken
Cheating and I’m paying all the bills? I would’ve flipped the world over. The pros must’ve outweighed the cons because baayyybeeee. This is why men want younger women. They don’t know any better for themselves. So men can walk all over them. And men love that they can do that. It’s sick and twisted.
I tell you!!! Lmfao the ultimate madness 😭
Idk what the laws are in UK, but palimony can be a concern, too

top comment
It’s crazy too me how ALL women who’ve been cheated on feel the EXACT SAME FEELINGS. We can all relate to the same things.
Me too sis! This video resonated with me so much and it’s sad that so many women have to experience this.
Once you have to constantly start checking your partner's social media/messages it's truly the end. Trust is the most important aspect of a relationship. Looks like he also took advantage of the fact that you were paying for nearly everything and began to depend on you.
I agree!
I caught my ex messaging (several) other women and I read all of the inappropriate messages that had gone on between them. I started constantly checking his phone and social media because it was just so hard to trust him after that.
I was always wondering if he was cheating if he was late coming to my house, or if he was lying when he told me he stayed later at work. I stayed with him, but I was still angry about it and from time to time I would bring up the things he had done.
One day I just got sick of it all and I was like, "I'm done." and ended our relationship. My heart just wasn't in it anymore after being treated like that and I wasn't going to waste anymore of my life and time with him.
@@greatgownsbeautifulgowns thank goodness you left in the end. It's never easy to step out once you are attached to a person, but we have to choose ourselves every single time.
@@KushQueen9
Yes! We sure do!
If you don't choose you then you're just choosing a constant state of stress and unhappiness.
It’s very common that men get jealous of their partner. You were the breadwinner, you’re gorgeous, and you have a reliable steady income… which was more than he made! God bless you girl. Thank god you never carried his child. I’m so happy for you and your growth Dainá fr 🖤
He was going on ski trips outside of the country but couldn’t help his wife pay the bills? Wow. Going halves on the storage ? He could have covered that at least. This is so sad. He only came back to you after cheating to boost his ego. He couldn’t take rejection & he didn’t want to deal with the consequences of his action. Definitely a narcissist
For the record Diana... nothing about your story gave embarrassment. From watching your videos (all these years) your characteristic always gave confidence, strength and nothing less and this right here proved exactly that.
It takes so much to make these kinds of videos. Nbs, I’m really excited for new journey... I really can’t wait to see you at your happiest 👏🏾
I’m so disappointed that the moms on both sides weren’t supportive of you valuing your decision more , it’s okay for us women to not put up with the same things others will. I enjoyed the video ❤
Same. It's crazy how they expected her to stay with someone that is hurting her so much. She was expected to be the good wife and work things out but he was cheating and destroying their relationship. They would much rather have her lose herself in her marriage than her have peace in her life.
@@luyandamthembu5678 This is a major problem. Traumatised bw with low self esteem raising another generation of BW to be the same. We all need to actively break this mess with our own children.
I think they thought he was helping out financially. Most older generation stayed because of the rent and bills
It’s especially jarring because if she was the one doing dirt, they wouldn’t hesitate to tell him to bounce. Why are women encouraged to ride out the storms and overcome obstacles and struggles that MEN create, yet men are encouraged to know their self worth?
@@Caljay213 i disagree... that may have been in our grandparents (80+) generation but these parents (50-70+) these baby boomer and gen x mothers were largely the bread winners in married households...it wasnt rent and bills.
I can’t imagine being married to a man that can turn so cold and evil. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. I’m so sorry you went through this. Im happy you’re passed it and on the other side now. Wishing you absolute abundance and happiness
This is what I just thought. This is just a regular relationship. It's your whole husband, and they turn EVIL on you??? I would probably go crazy and not recover !
I’m late to this comment, but that’s exactly how my ex husband was. He was the perfect guy. The perfect partner, the perfect best friend to me. And then very shortly after we were tied down in marriage, things just went so wack. Suddenly I was chasing him all the time, meanwhile he seemed he had little to no interest in me anymore. Basically overnight. It did make sense in the end, because I ended up finding out he’d cheated, and the cheating only continued but I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. Someone you 110% thought was your soulmate just turning their back on you when you did nothing but love and support them 😢
This is HELLA emotional abuse. I have experienced this before. I'm so glad you got out of this situation.
A relationship is never the same after cheating
Exactly. Make sure u have thicker skin. Cause seriouslsy , is punishing yourself and you neglect urself
This woman is extremely healed. It takes a healed person to be able to be this transparent about even the embarrassing things you have done. God bless her
I wonder if it's because ever since he first started cheating years ago, Dainá already had one foot out the door and had begun to heal then knowing the future of their relationship was uncertain.
He truly sounds like a narcissist smh. I hate that this happened to you, but I’m so happy to see you thriving! I love seeing women come back from heartache better than ever 💚
Edit: If you weren’t the breadwinner, you could’ve taken him to the cleaners from this divorce. The disrespect from this guy is crazy 🤨
Agreed! He is a narc 😫
Definitely a narc! All of the signs are there unfortunately 😢
It's so sad that the older women (the mothers) encouraged you to remain in a financially, and emotionally abusive relationship. It's Patriarchy and the women who up hold it
Yep sadly, it’s very common
Yeah that’s quite disheartening telling her your married and to try work it out yet he’s going around with other women didn’t consider his marriage then don’t get that
That generation of women are something else!
The part where he was being horribly cold and cruel when you got to the parent's, that was his real face. Real life horror right there
That man is a literal physical manifestation of a demon, I am so glad you rid him from your life. The lengths men will go to suck the life out of you and try to turn you into nothing, when you are such a bright wonderful soul, a goddess if you will. They will never be able to be comfortable understanding the fact that women are powerful and we are the reason nations are built because we have the power to give life and to nurture. I'm glad you have become stronger from this and I hope you excel in everything you do and you become so big not to show off to other people but because you deserve everything good in life.
IM SO GLAD YOU GOT TO THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN TELL YOUR STORY. YOUR HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE I APPLAUD YOU 👏🏾
Thissssss !
This web series is devastating tbh but I hope it also feels like a satisfying sigh too not having to hide how hurt you were. Dainá you look great. The thing about love is if it was someone else going through it we notice it sooner and advise them to end it. However, when it’s our own relationship we often miss or ignore obvious red flags. Never mind, we live and we learn.
This is so relatable for so many women. You’re real for sharing your story
I'm starting to wonder have we all lived the same story because whooh
@@shabbyLaw sounds like he has a sex addition and you only hide it for so long.
So true😢
true 😔
I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!
I feel that. I went crazy after dating a narcissist, he would accuse me of cheating constantly but turns out the entire time he was messaging other girls. I lost myself and became so insecure. I don't want to ever let a guy make me feel like that again. Glad you got rid of him.
I literally almost physically shook and felt the unbridled rage you felt when you told your story. I've also been in similar situation, completely blindsided and heartbroken. It's the worst kind of pain. Lucky you didn't have any children in the middle of this. I had a child with my ex and it further complicates things as you can imagine.
I bet the first time she found out was absolutely not the first time he cheated.
I can’t even begin to imagine what he got away with throughout the years 😳😳😳😳
The way my jaw dropped when he told you he doesn't want to be with you anymore. The audacity.
I watched you through this entire journey and as an empath and someone whose been through similar I saw you. His energy was equally telling. I hope people realize how powerful you speaking your truth and advancing your life is. Wait till the masses finally realize how you express your feelings so effectively through your music. It'll be way up from there. Don't ever quit, keep going. Happiness is truly a journey and not a destination. Stay consistent and your true fans will def support. We see your worth!
This is one of the REALEST story times I’ve watched in a longggg time! This was so triggering for me but we need to speak our truth more instead of protecting these piece of shit men! Diana I applaud you so much and I’m so proud of your for finally speaking your truth!!! Like someone said, milk this series for all it’s worth!! Collect them coins girls!! You deserve the world and more and you’ll definitely get it! ❤
He really failed you as a husband. I feel like a lot of these men don’t know how to be proper men. So happy that you chose you and that your doing better. I’m cheering for you
I felt so sad hearing the part where you describe trying to save your marriage. There’s no shame/embarrassment sis, you loved that man & made a vow of commitment. In a time where less and less people value the institution of marriage there’s nothing embarrassing about that. You tried for your marriage and that shows the quality of your character.
This is a wake up call for us the single ladies who crave other people’s relationship and feel insecure for not having it, we’re doing GREAT✨
Absolutely! 🙌🏾
This!!!!
I've always said this. The more enviable someone's relationship looks, the less you should want it. Strong foundations are often peaceful and private, once it starts becoming content be aware that it's probably to compensate for something. (And this includes real life couples you know who won't shut up about how perfect they are for each other, not just internet content creators)
Being single after the trash I’ve seen and endured feels sooo relieving. No one to cause back to back stress and anxiety
@@wolfsisterhowls🎯
As much as i want a relationship, listening to your life made me realize i am worth so much more than what these boys have to offer. 2 seconds of attention and feeling wanted is not worth 10+ years of misery and suffering. And you definitely do not look like what you’ve been through and i appreciate how much class your telling this experience with❤❤
As someone who in my 20s took a cheater back only for him to do it again, I am now a firm believer of the saying "once a cheater always a cheater". I leaned a valuable life lesson from situation and will never, ever forgive a cheater again.
Listening to this is making me believe I have ptsd as I feel like its me going through it! Hearing these stories drags up long buried memories of similar situations I went through with my ex. Men really have no idea how traumatic it can be to be deceived by someone you love and trust. I'm so sorry this happened to you, but you are shining now girl!
And yet they couldn't take it if a woman cheats on them. So, they understand what it does to us but cheaters don't care!!
Literally felt this same feeling as she was telling this story
10000% me too! Relationship ptsd is real
@@adwoasam9237 It’s always double standards with many men when it comes to sex. Having a spicy past would trigger many to the point where they don’t see women the same anymore
No frrrrr !
It's simple, he's a hardcore manipulator and narcissist. Them type of people will never change unless they want to. The best thing you did was leave him, otherwise he would have ruined you.
Best story times ever! I’m so invested. You’re one hell of a story teller! After following you for so long, it’s so eye opening to see what you’ve dealt with all these years behind closed doors. You’re one strong woman!
This made my blood boil oh my GOD!! You are a real warrior for telling this story from anywhere but jail fr. This man intentionally set out to hurt and derail you and he was your HUSBAND!!! Like who needs enemies when you're loved ones are like this? ?
This hit way too close to home. Gave two years of my life away. Dealing with a narcissist ain’t for the weak.
The man didn't have the money to pay 50/50 but had the money for ski trip?? 😳
It’s always the lowest moments, the times that make us feel the most shameful and embarrassed that we blossom in the most beautiful way. Been watching you since HS and aside from everything hurtful that you shared, what I heard the most from this series is a woman coming to terms with what she will and will not accept. No matter how long it took you to get it, you got it. And that my girl, is a blessing! Love YOU up Daina 🫶🏾
Idk if anyone else is thinking this but I feel like once he realized that you was not loaded with money any more it’s like he discarded you because you was not his cash cow any more smh he moved you out your house just to break up with you and make you damn near homeless 😢I’m sorry you went through this
textbook narcissist shit. and i don’t just throw that word around. his face should show up next to the definition 😭
He was a hobosexual.Just needed a place to stay.
@@nayatarot777 exactly this is some textbook narcissist behavior
I hate how families always seem to be siding with the cheating husband.
Always asking the wife to work it out, to stick it out, to stay, to help the husband stop cheating like…
No ! He betrayed the marriage. He’s the one who broke his vows, so why is the weight of the marriage falling apart always on the wife’s shoulders ?
Why is it that when she’s the one sad and crying and trying it equals pathetic, but when he cries and he’s the one sad and trying last minute, everyone rallies behind him ?
This makes me so mad. 😤
Once a cheater, always a cheater!! I'm glad you got out of this relationship, I'm sorry it was a marriage. I'm sure you went thru so much heartbreak and heartache but it would have only continued... Now you can work on yourself and find yourself a man who knows how wonderful and priceless you are and treats you like the queen you are!!👑❤️♥️
Many women go through this, glad you’re being transparent and letting it be know that this type of behavior is unacceptable!!
He is a narssassist he tried to break you. I was in a relationship like that. The constant cheating,lies,manipulation,toxicity was just draining . I left and went back so many times before finally deciding to break free for good. The unfortunate thing is I didn't know what a narssassist was until I got older. Once I realize who he is ,he could never control me again . I left and never look back. I am so proud of you for being so strong . You deserve better for a husband. You're so beautiful and strong. I hope you find the partner you deserve some day.
We women get to a point where the man doesn't hold us down, he drags us down. So glad you realised that peace is being alone sometimes 🙏
You cannot tell me cheating is not emotionally abusive, because GIRL, the second he got you out of your house and making less money he immediately turned the dial from just cheating to gaslighting, manipulation, and devaluing you as well. This man knew when he got you into a vulnerable place and things immediately got worse. And the part where you were asking him if he wanted you to be in your room crying hit so hard. I asked my abusive ex if he wanted me to be crying after he acted out and he got so quiet, because that's exactly what he wanted.
Abusive men get off on the negative emotional response they get from you. They love to see you crying, or anxious or angry because being able to get that response makes them feel powerful. The fact that he got angry when you were calm (my ex would do that too) is so telling. That man is a sociopath.
absolutely!!
Not him saying “this ain’t me” when that’s literally been him the whole time. Some men are just sickening 🙄🤢. You really went through it in your whole relationship with him Daina and I’m really sorry about everything that’s happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story with us, lol it’s really knocking some sense into my head so I don’t even think to get back with my ex who’s cheated on me.
My ex had a naked picture in his camera roll and it was recent. He tried to say his homeboys was sending him pictures and that they were old pictures
@@Caljay213 why some men behave like this, I will never understand 🤦🏾♀️ I’m so sorry you even had to go through that babe, and good for you that you left that situation!
Jesus… did Ahmet even _like_ you? He couldn’t have, all of this sounds so hateful, it’s unhinged. To dangle you on a string and bleed you out like that, nah.. no one deserves that. Even to reduce you as a sex buddy towards the end is truly vile and he entrapped you as well. All of this is very toxic and very abusive, I’m sorry you went through all that.
Typical narc behaviour it’s like the read the same book, deep down most of them are battling with their sexuality because it’s clear they don’t like or respect women.
Typical BLACK MALE behavior! Most are filled with self hatred so they really don’t have the capacity to love anyone else. That’s why they are treating their so called preferences just the same as they treat black women. They don’t care about anyone but themselves. Do yourselves a favor and choose you. Love is not traumatic, painful and leaves you a shell of your former self. Deprogram yourself of your toxic upbringing and let’s be the first generation of black women to finally choose ourselves over being mules to black males.
Narcissist. I could see that in his smile
Then that dirty adulterer says he found 'God' lord you cant make it up
My thoughts exactly
DAINA ! this is literally exactly like my relationship. it made me sad to hear this coming from you bc as a teenager i looked up to you and your confidence. as a girl i was like “this woman don’t take no shit” but i also loved hearing this journey bc it made me feel less alone. i don’t feel as ashamed for what happened in my relationship bc it happened to a woman that i thought was untouchable. i hope that doesn’t sound rude bc i mean it in the best way. my ex was insane. he couldn’t NOT talk to other women. i didn’t find out until 6 years in that he was a completely different person than i thought he was. i remember finding out about things he did and the pure shock and fear i felt. i’m so glad you were vulnerable enough to share this with us. it really is comforting to know that my situation isn’t unique bc for so long i felt like a stupid girl for having dealt with any of that bs.
Aww 🥺🥺🥺
How did you find out?
Sounds a bit shady
Well didn't you hear about Beyonce
I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!
You are more forgiving than I think I could ever be. I feel like if you can look me in my eyes lie and then go out to cheat and try to sleep with me afterward, what else are you capable of?
This! I just kept thinking throughout this video "Lord please let me NEVER love a man this much!" I just can't imagine a man looking me in my eyes and telling me he doesn't love me and not immediately going, "Bet." Begging him to explain and give a good reason? I just don't think my heart could take it!
@@wolfsisterhowls Same here- I’m out! I’m not waiting around or trying to see if you could change. I’m good
My heart broke when you said you were doing everything to keep your marriage together and it was crumbling in your face. I went through the same exact thing.
May we not marry our enemies - Im so sorry you went through that and also happy youre giving your testimony!
Guys.. don’t skip the ads. She needs to get her money’s worth ❤
Girlll! Keep talking make back all that money you that missed while having to hold this all in and be miserable. Once again so happy you are in better place and able to tell your story.
Agreed!!! The redemption she deserves! So painful we KNOW how much she loved that man 🥺
Wow......... Daina I've been a silent watcher for sooooo many years. This? THIS? How you survived this???? You are incredible!!!!! So much love, light, strenght to you!!! Hope you chose therapy for yourself, and take time for healing yourself! Air out his dirty laundry. GET YOUR MONEYYYY!!
I’ve never related to a video/story like this in my life. Thankyou so much for being so raw and honest and keeping it 100% real. You’re giving other women who are going through this the opportunity to reflect and heal and understand they’re not alone. I hope you have healed Daina !!! You deserve to be able to live your life now and experience happiness ❤
He begged for you back because having you back meant cheaper bills, in house sex and free domestic labor. Everything he said he was going to do fell flat as soon as he had you tied up because that's what manipulators do- say anything to convince you to get their own needs met. I KNEW the house thing was not going to happen and he had zero intention of making sure that happened.
He didn’t want to do UA-cam in case the girls confront him about his marriage. It would be hard for him to say he’s single if y’all are doing couple videos.
I bet you’re right! Being on UA-cam was spoiling his market when he was telling these girls he’s single 🤮
A month into moving he wanted to be a single man?????? The way I'm cussing right now!!!!!!! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 I really wish you had cut him loose then cause this is some BS! Don't let no one tell you that they don't want you more than once.
The way this story resembles mine, just makes me realize why I used to hear women always say “they are all the same”. This is nuts.
Honestly I'm stunned at the amount of women who have experienced this. I've experienced this as well. Sigh
GIRL I legit gagged when he said he wanted to break up, NAH he would turn up missing the next day trust 💨💨
Not all us UA-cam girls living the same life 🤣
GIRLLLLLL! we need to chop it up over some wine lol
That man never loved you. A man that loves you will happily love, provide and protect you. Please keep this in mind.
This makes me sooo sad! I am so sorry you went through so much. The manipulation, gas lighting, hypocrisy, false hope. Everything. Honestly breaks my heart
He was dragging you down sis, I’m glad that you’ve freed yourself from him. I’m loving this glow, he needed to go…
He felt low about himself & wanted you to feel that way too
Smh low vibrational narcissistic
He was jealous girl!! He made sure you was down and he was thriving to drop you. SMH, and not only did he drop you, he wanted to make sure that no one else had you either. It was all about him and his EGO! He knew your worth. He didn’t want you to know it though.
Let this be a lesson ladies…cheating should always be a dealbreaker!!
Guys, don’t forget to watch the ads, don’t skip any of them. Our good sis will at least get a hefty cheque off these videos. Daina, I’m so sorry you went through this. I’m wincing listening to this, mouth ajar. But I’m even happier you have moved on from that nonsense. You’re so much better than that and him.
Ladies take heed. My advice, from life experience at this point, people lie. It’s up to you to do your due diligence with asking the right questions. Someone’s actions speak 10 times louder than their words. Stop giving chances over and over, which is common for us women to do. Leave them before they have the chance to break you too. Relationships are hard but you are worth more than any relationship. Your physical and mental health is lost important. Pay attention to the red flags, set your boundaries and non negotiables, and leave when they aren’t honored. Also take accountability and forgive your own self for allowing the mistreatment or believing the lies, it’s okay! These things happen. Somethings are not about the other person. Sometimes we want love so badly that we accept accept accept. Work on yourself, heal your own trauma, and bums will not be able to get close to you trust.
The crazy thing is that mans even stopped lying! He said he wanted to be single. He said he wasn't in love with her anymore. At that point, what more did she need to hear? (I don't mean this oon a mean way, just in a common sense way of once a man tells you something, TAKE NOTE and stop deluding yourself.) A lot of women would escape so much sooner of we didn't try to explain away clear and plain disrespect and rejection. These men actually don't lie too well and when they tell us the truth, we don't listen!
@@wolfsisterhowls I have to be honest and agree. Because I’ve been there. When there is an ideal that you are fulfilling or living up to it becomes a bit easier to let yourself be delusional. The devil you know often feels better than the devil you don’t. But the same things happen with different people until you realize that you can’t live in lala land any longer.
@@wolfsisterhowls I also feel like the pressure to maintain a marriage, due to societal and possibly religious or other constructs, makes it harder to leave. You feel like you have got to work it out with your spouse. But someone who doesn’t hold the same views on commitment isn’t held to the same standards in their mind. They know they can cheat and lie and you won’t leave because you are loyal to the marriage or relationship.
@@saracee3003 I agree also. This ish happened to me and even worst found out it was from the start plus at the end he was pimping himself out (I ran to the gum clinic ASAP) but as soon as I found out, I exited real quick. There wasn't anything this man was going to say to me to stay cause I would me mentally insane to do so.
@@saracee3003 you're preaching, unfortunately! Preaching that good word.
that man is a villain wtf
Set this man ablaze!! You’ve got this Daina you’re a gem.
