His Girlfriend Started A Career As An Influencer And Keeps Invading His Privacy, So He Asked Her To Move Out
This man and his girlfriend have been living together for two years, and everything was wonderful for a while. They got along well, spent a good amount of time together, and maintained a balance between their personal lives and their life as a couple.
However, that all changed just a few months ago when his girlfriend decided to pursue being an influencer as a career.
At first, content creation was more of a fun hobby for her. She would post some photos or record a few videos without going “over the top.”
“I always supported her and was proud that she found something she enjoyed,” he recalled.
Then, her desire to be an influencer began taking a serious toll on him. All of a sudden, his girlfriend turned their apartment into her own personal studio, curating every corner and room perfectly to serve as backdrops for her vlogs.
And whenever he’d return home from work, feeling tired and wanting to relax, his girlfriend would shove a camera in his face because she needed to “film content.”
Many of their private conversations are recorded without his consent, too, and he sometimes finds them posted in some of his girlfriend’s videos.
“It got especially awkward when she posted part of a conversation where I shared something deeply personal, which I didn’t expect to be made public,” he revealed.
He attempted to talk to his girlfriend about his concerns, but she always just brushed him off. She accused him of overreacting and swore that it was all just “part of her job.” So, she insisted that he be more understanding.

Honestly, though, he can’t deal with it anymore.
“I feel like I no longer have any space in our home where I can just be myself without worrying about being filmed or photographed,” he admitted.
Just a few days ago, he finally reached his breaking point as well. Yet again, he got home from work and was “caught on camera.”
This pushed him to have a more serious talk with his girlfriend. He made it clear that he understood how important being an influencer was to her. Still, for him, her newfound career was becoming too much. He proceeded to suggest that his girlfriend consider moving out of their place.
“Not because I want to break up with her, but because I need a private space where I don’t feel constantly watched,” he reasoned.
Unfortunately, his girlfriend didn’t get that and flipped out on him, calling him selfish, unsupportive, and controlling. She believes that he’s trying to “sabotage” her success as opposed to being proud of her accomplishments.
Following this huge fight, he and his girlfriend have barely been speaking.
“And I feel like my boundaries and needs aren’t being respected at all,” he vented.
He realizes that his girlfriend finds influencing to be exciting. Nonetheless, he can’t help but wonder if wanting some space and privacy in his own home is really so crazy or not.
Would you want to live with someone who viewed everything as an opportunity for content? Is it understandable why he feels uncomfortable and disrespected in his own house?
