Edit - Someone just showed me her new boyfriend, aannnd karma is real, justice has been served let's say lmao. Again, remember this was a year ago. The point of the video isn't about getting back at anyone, I've moved passed it. This video is to show what it looks like to get gaslit, and how easy it can be to believe you're in the wrong when you're the one who's been wronged, especially when you don't have a group of people around to remind you you're not crazy. Just remember it's easy to comment what I 'should have immediately done when x happened' when you can watch from a distance. It's also easy when you've had time to process the situation. Hindsight is 2020. Chances are - I've already read all of your 'suggested books' 🙂

Kids, here's a tip: When people start using sex as a bargaining chip, leave.

She was never your girl, it was just your turn.

I feel your pain, brother. My wife divorced me, the next year my mom died, the next my dad , the next my sister. I’ve been through a lot and your story resonates. 🇺🇸

as boyfriend and girlfriend, her considering herself not "off the market" until she's married is an insanely massive red flag

"When your girlfriend cheats on you with your best friend, be happy. The world took 2 pieces of shit out of your life"

Man this guy has been through some shit. Never had a relationship with his father while growing up, got into a bad marriage and had to get divorced, family didn't even show up to his marriage, disowned by his family because he wouldn't pay their rent and drug habit anymore after they were freeloading off of him for 5 years, girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend. Dude, you've survived some crazy stuff, and you kept going, you're strong, and I hope you're doing well now.

Joshua goes through shit then documents everything so that we don't have to suffer the same way. 100% like share subscribed man

She was never your girlfriend to begin with, he was never your best friend to begin with.

Real women can’t be stolen. If she gets stolen, she was a problem. Homeboy dodged a bullet

A sh*tty girl and a terrible "friend" Better off without them in your life 💪

This video triggered the shit out of me. Gaslighting men to be "creeps" and "stalkers" because you're a horrible person yourself.

This guy for sure keeps it real! He doesnt have to say these things, but he probably doesnt have many ppl close to talk to but his subscribers. He being open is actually a brave thing

When the trash takes itself out.

Girlfriends come and go, but best friends are supposed to have your back. No excuse there.

I'm not sure why I happened to come upon this video that was made 4 years ago, but here we are. I thought this would be something juicy to listen to while I worked on some art, but I'm in tears and haven't done shit. I'm not sure of what your life is like 4 years later after this tragedy, but I just feel compelled to tell you some things. To begin, none of this was your fault. None of it. I really hope you know this. Even 4 years later, I know the pain caused by being emotionally abused is challenging to overcome. All too well. You are such a sweet, kind, adorable, handsome soul, and any woman would be lucky to be loved by you. I can only hope that you are now in a relationship where you are loved, uplifted, and cherished. We all deserve love like that. I never wanted children, and I never wanted to get married. Not wanting those things doesn't make you a bad person. Life can be so fruitful, and love can be just as fruitful, if not more, without the burden of children or a marriage that society pressures us to endure to be "normal." Normal is boring, and normal can be a nightmare. To be free with someone you love and to both be consciously choosing each other is way more precious than any ring in the world. May you be blessed with all the love and affection you desire/deserve. That girl wasn't woman enough to realize what she had and ultimately lost. Karma is real, and both cheating parties deserve to have eternal diarrhea. I truly hope the years since this video have been extra good to you. ❤

Although it's been over 2 years since you posted this, I'm so glad that you did. I am going through a similar situation. Never have I ever been so humiliated and hurt by somebody I've known for over 15 years. I guess I should've seen it coming tho. I've learnt from this experience and I'm starting to grow as a person. When you keep yourself onto a certain standard and have respect for yourself, you will require the same things from other people. I hope this makes sense. Good luck man, hope you're doing well.

How to turn your pain into sweet KZfaq algorithm dollars to finally upgrade your house.

If partner asks for a break, just leave. They are already out the door.

Thanks for the story. Like others have said makes me feel less alone. 11 yrs together. We moved to multiple cities and states for school. Both finished. Started a successful business. Bought a big house for kids. Looked like we were over the hump ready to live life then boom. She books a flight to North Carolina (lol) and wants divorce. The hardest part is letting go of the future you had imagined.

Josh, you should write shows and tell stories. You are such a good story teller.

My ex fiance cheated with my best friend. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I shed two backstabbing people and now several years later I am way better off in every way.

Your girlfriend didn’t “fall victim” to anything. She CHOSE to cheat. It takes two to mingle.

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

This is so sad. He’s on the verge of tears. 🔥🔥🔥 for being real bro.

The fact that her parents came by to your house to thank you says everything.

She wasn't out of character with that text, that's who she really is. The girl you thought you knew was out of character.

I'm 3 years late, but I found your channel within the last month. I love your content. I see you're in a better place now, and I want you to know I'm proud of you. For whatever it's worth, you're killing it, and you deserve happiness. Keep up your great work.

BELIEVE ME I KNOW IT HURTS BRO BUT YOU GOTTA BE STRONG AND YOU'LL GET THROUGH IT

With friends like that, who needs enemies.

She did you a favor. Can you imagine if you married her, had a house, kids. You'd be paying out for LIFE. In fact, they both did you a huge favor. You dodged a massive bullet bro.

A really long time ago a girl did similiar thing to me and i too was blind to see it. It wasn't with a friend but i remember the pain and it completely destroyed me. Just like Josh here, she came back later but i wasn't having any of it and I had already met a new girl. I loved when the tables turned. I think that was the last time i cried for a woman, that ex made me into this cold man and learned to never fall too in love with anyone. Looking back at it, it was for the best cause we were too young anyway, now "married" with kids and a dog my life wouldn't be where its at now had that not happened. I hope you find someone new buddy but this story really resonates with me and well now i wouldnt put up with any of that shit of course.

you can literally see the pain in his voice and eyes, man i feel so sorry for you! im really sorry to hear this

“When you look at someone through rose coloured glasses, all the red flags just look like flags” - Wanda Price

Your ''friend'' sounds like a sociopath.

Once, a girl gaslit me into believing she was being raped, when she was actually cheating. I feel ya. She did the same thing later where she came back and admitted to messing up and all that crap, fishing for another go. The way you said, I had to start over, moved in with a family from another culture, and it helped a lot. It changed my whole life, and for the better. The experience was hard, but God is good.

"You riled her family up" What a gaslighting freak. He needs to invent reasons to behave like a creep in order to make you feel bad.

thats better when you get rid of two trash bag at once

Takes a lot of balls to say this stuff and put yourself out there like that. Respect. Love you bro.

The most drama I experienced was in college. After college, life went smooth sailing. Now, my main worry is making sure I have enough for retirement. It is disappointing we treat each other horribly. I hope this guy met his loved one.

Love how RP you are without disclosing it and alienating the BPers and not focusing on it, whilst being honest and human. All the best. Great content.

She's a grown ass adult. She made the decision to hook up with your friend. She's not a victim. She's the perpetrator.

I love how stupidly honest he is about everything. It's like listening to a good friend.

lol, I´ve heard "we´ve met in Tinder" and inmediately laughted my *ss off lol. Things happen for a reason

Man, that is rough. But I love how real you are and show true raw emotion. I think everyone goes through at least 1 terrible break up in their life that changes them.

Dude, I’ve been there brother, it takes serious balls to go on a huge public forum and pour your heart out like this. I don’t know you, and I stumbled apon your video by accident, but I’m proud of you dude.

The moment you said your GF cheated with one of your closest friends through your life, that you used to play Halo together as little children, I knew the betrayal was unforgivable

you're such a great guy. I started watching your Joshua Fluke videos and came across your family story and this story and wow I can only hope I find someone as respectful and considerate.

Oh my word, the narcissist ALWAYS, alwayyyssss comes back. I know this was from a few years ago but I SCREAMED when I heard she came back and you REPLIED. MY HEART. I'm so sorry you experienced this. WOW what a story.

Real loyalty, in good times and bad times, is one of the rarest things in the world.

Ahh the classic “we were broken up I don’t owe you an explanation” the cheater’s favorite line.

Damn man, betrayal by your partner and best friend must be the worst. Good on you for working through this and coming out stronger, that's really impressive.

Thank you for sharing this.

Advice my Dad gave me a long time ago: It's far better to be alone than wish you were.

Your ex-friend sounds like a straight sociopath.

Your ex girlfriend is a narcissist. You have absolutely NO idea how lucky you were to get rid of her.

The gaslighting once it gets to the confrontation is absolutely infuriating.

Thirty years from now she's still going to be thinking about you and you'll barely remember her.

This is the reason why I always tell myself that I am the only person responsible for my happiness and that the world does not owe me anything.

I should start by saying that this was the first video of yours I've ever watched. In fact, I don't recall any of your work ever coming my way via KZfaq suggestions or the like. With that said, I can confidently say that I admire and respect you to a degree that is unequaled on this platform or any like it. I'm sure you're very well aware of it, but this was insanely powerful to watch, to hang on every word. You did a brilliant thing with this and you should be very, very proud of yourself and your creation. We have all dealt with pain and sorrow but you are alone, alone at the top, in the way that you saw it through and turned it into a vehicle that is in place for eternity to help others manage the misery they are dealing with, and even the misery yet to come. You are the kind of friend we all need. Thank you for being comfortable enough in your own skin to share this with the world. It is far more impactful than you could have possibly ever imagined. My hat is off to you, Sir.

It never ends well when they want to go “on a break”

All the shit you've been through dude and you've still managed to build a business/successful KZfaq channel that's growing every day. It's great to see. What a guy.

The offender always plays the victim when they get caught lol

I have never understood why nice guys can be friends with players and not thinking at some point they can get played too.

This might help a lot of people . You are really brave to be so honest . People get so confused and some of them are very selfish, we all are in a way, but this story is really sad and scary . He is not your brother , dont talk to this people again.

It’s nice hearing a guy talk about this honestly.

Used to think shy, introverted, girls were "good girls" too, but that's just shallow. Integrity comes in many different archetypes.

Your story is truly heartbreaking. Especially how you took such good care of those doggos when you had no one to care for you in arguably one of the hardest situations/toxic relationships. I've seen some of your newer videos and you're looking great. Wishing you nothing but peace & love & lots of sun! xo

Cheering for you josh!! The best is yet to come! Thanks for sharing your experience! 💕

I’m watching ALL the ADs. This guy deserves the money for all this.

The friend sounds like a sociopath. In which this all makes sense.

I love that you gave us all the evidence. You just benefited by getting two incredibly disgusting and toxic humans out of your life! Congrats to you dude :) you must be a lot happier.

I so totally respect your commitment to your dogs. That's focus and dedication. That's being mature.

This was deep - People wonder why people shut off to everyone emotionally

She said that contacting her friend whom you had met multiple times was creepy. Yet, she went how far? To meet your best friend whom she had never met. She's the creep.

Dude, your story is so similar to mine....I'm glad you survived. ❤❤

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. You’re my hero. Hugs to you.

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

"She fell victim to that" no dude, i'm really sorry but this is on her she was in a committed relationship, its her job to tell guys to leave her alone.

Love the bravery of honesty

Julie was not for you man. Sorry about what you went through. You did good in breaking up with her 👍

It's better to be alone, than be with the wrong person.

Man when he said "i'm not crazy enough to go back to this girl" I started clapping and laughing. GOOD FOR YOU MAN. Hope you are doing well.

Much respect to you for this. Heartbreaking, if you ever need a friend, I am always here.

I wanna be your friend, you are just the kind of friend we all need. Honestly. People can make their comments about you taking this horrible life event and making money on it well I say damn straight I hope you do make money off of what they did to you cuz that's just some kind of vindication almost like they owe you that not that money could ever take away what they did to you or make it better in any way shape or form but you deserve something good to come out of that and if that's how and if this is how then go get them get it and hold your head high cuz you did right you did right by them you did right by yourself you stay true to yourself I love how calm you remain throughout the whole thing you tried not to show emotion but you're human and you felt pain and you still feel pain and thinking back on it you will always feel pain especially with how your best friend is you on my life with this story that you shared and I'm sure thousands of others and don't be discouraged by people's comments keep doing what you're doing

This dude has way too good of a heart for this generation

I'm getting so "triggered" by these messages - gaslighting is insane. Glad you're out of that mess.

What a lovely genuine man you are. Feel like I'm chatting with you. It's a real comfort 🇬🇧

The ole’ monkey branch maneuver

If your girlfriend cheats on you with your best friend, it means that your girlfriend never loved you, and your best friend was actually your worst enemy. Don't look at this as a curse, look at this as a blessing. Once you see someone's true colors, accept the truth for what it is. That way you can find peace.

She showed her true self in the end, in the beginning was her false self.

Betrayal of people that should love you the most is the worst.

Im proud of you dude never give up your DIGNITY!!! NEVER!!!!. You did the right thing. Stay red pilled, strong and fine your piece FORWARD you strive!!.🙌💥👊👍

I’m boiling listening to his “friend” pretending to give him advice 😡

YOU LOSE 💰 MONEY CHASING WOMEN, BUT YOU NEVER LOSE WOMEN CHASING 💰 MONEY! 💯

Yo man, I feel for ya, I’ve been in heartbreaking moments, but nothing like this. You handled this like a true legend!!!!!!!!! (Proud of you)

Thanks for sharing, wishing you the best man. It sucks, but you sharing helps others that have gone through something similar.

My girlfriend is so loyal she cant cheat me because she is imaginary.

That "friend" is scary degrees of toxic. He's capable of real harm to anyone he encounters

Finished the video. Joshua you are an amazing naivee person. Really, i was feeling your pain. Women are like that. They are always pursuing greener lawns. We are in a dangerous moment of the world. Its amazing how this people just gaslityou, they just mumbled crazy theories, lies and supositions and "he is acting crazy" "he is dangerous" when they got caught in front of the cheating , lies, and behavior...... AND THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. Amazing.
