The guest reflects on her past relationships, noting a pattern where both her previous relationships started and ended in the same months. She delves into the similarities between her ex-partners and her experiences with them.

The guest, an Aries with an ascendant in Aries, admits to being somewhat vindictive but also acknowledges the nobility of Aries traits. She shares insights into her personality and how it influences her actions in relationships.

The guest recounts the beginning of her relationship with her neighbor in January 2020, before the pandemic and her rise on social media platforms. She details the progression of their relationship, which started on January 10, 2020.

In January 10, 2020, at the age of 17, the speaker started using TikTok. The pandemic began in March 2020, and by April, the speaker's TikTok account started gaining traction, leading to an increase in followers on both TikTok and Instagram.

In August, relationship issues arose due to insecurities primarily fueled by social media interactions. The speaker's partner expressed discomfort with her TikTok videos, leading to conflicts about appearance and behavior. These insecurities extended beyond social media, affecting their interactions in real life.

During a pool party, the speaker faced body image pressure when a guy commented on her attire, implying she should cover up to avoid negative attention. This incident made her feel objectified and pressured to conform to societal standards of appearance, highlighting the common experience of women facing judgment based on their clothing choices.

The speaker internalized insecurities from her relationship and social media presence, feeling the need to change aspects of herself to please others. She struggled with self-doubt, questioning her actions and appearance, and contemplating whether her choices were driven by a desire for validation or genuine passion for social media.

As graduation approached, concerns about maintaining a long-distance relationship arose. The speaker's partner planned to move to the United States, three hours away, while she faced uncertainty about their future together. The impending distance added strain to their relationship, leading to worries about the viability of their connection.

The speaker recounts the challenges faced in a long-distance relationship with their partner who moved from Mexicali to the United States. Despite the distance, they decided to continue the relationship, but on the day the partner left, the speaker's house exploded due to a gas leak, causing significant distress.

The house explosion, which occurred while the speaker was live streaming on TikTok, had a significant impact on their relationship. The partner, who had just moved away, saw the live stream and messaged the speaker. The incident led to miscommunication and added strain to the relationship.

The relationship eventually ended, with the speaker feeling a mix of emotions. While initially feeling upset, they also acknowledged a sense of relief deep down, as they had been distrustful from the beginning. The speaker mentioned checking their partner's phone before they were officially together, revealing a lack of trust.

At the beginning of the relationship, there were signs that raised suspicions for the speaker. The partner initially hesitated to post photos together, which made the speaker uncomfortable. This led to the speaker feeling uneasy and prompted them to investigate further.

To ease their suspicions, the speaker downloaded their partner's WhatsApp onto their own phone without checking it immediately. After returning home, the speaker examined the conversations, including those with friends, looking for any mentions or indications of questionable behavior.

The speaker delved into their partner's WhatsApp conversations, specifically looking for references to the speaker, such as derogatory comments or discussions about the speaker with friends. This action was taken to uncover any potential deceit or betrayal.

The speaker acknowledges that their actions may not have been the healthiest or most appropriate. However, they prompt listeners to consider what they would do in a similar situation. Despite recognizing the potential toxicity of their behavior, the speaker emphasizes the emotional turmoil that led them to investigate.

Upon finding a message indicating their partner's intention to reunite with an ex, the speaker was deeply affected. Despite sharing happy moments and discussing future plans with their partner, the speaker harbored doubts about the relationship's longevity due to the discovered message.

After four months of internal turmoil, the speaker finally confronted their partner about accessing their WhatsApp and Instagram accounts. This confrontation likely marked a turning point in the relationship, leading to a discussion about trust, transparency, and the impact of the discovered message.

The speaker recalls discovering her ex's Instagram password when she visited his house and he shared it with her. The password was based on his last name and a number, which she found suspicious. She accessed his account to check for any signs of dishonesty, wanting to ensure she knew the truth about their relationship.

The speaker admits to monitoring her ex's interactions on social media, especially checking if he was talking to other people. She felt the need to verify his honesty due to initial doubts and a desire to be certain about the relationship. This behavior continued even when they were together, reflecting her deep-seated mistrust.

The speaker describes a situation where she tested her ex's reaction by asking to see his phone and observing his response. She wanted to gauge his willingness to show her his conversations and understand his communication style. This action was driven by a need to uncover any potential deceit in their relationship.

After confronting her ex about his behavior and ending the relationship, the speaker felt relieved and validated in her decision. She acknowledged her role in allowing mistreatment and took responsibility for staying despite knowing the truth. This experience led her to prioritize her well-being and move forward with a sense of clarity and closure.

Following the breakup, the speaker stayed in Mexico City for two months with her aunt due to a kitchen incident at her home. Initially hesitant to return to her city because of her ex, she eventually considered moving to Mexico City permanently. The presence of her ex in her hometown was the main obstacle preventing her from making the decision.

The speaker realized her self-worth and acknowledged that she deserved better in a relationship. Despite feeling conflicted, she ultimately decided to prioritize self-love and growth, leading to the decision to end the relationship for her own well-being.

The speaker recounted receiving flowers from her partner, prompting her to briefly reconsider the relationship. However, she ultimately recognized the importance of self-love and growth, choosing to prioritize her well-being over staying in a toxic relationship.

Despite initially rejecting the advances, the speaker's ex-partner reached out again, wishing her a happy birthday and expressing interest in rekindling their relationship. The speaker, still harboring resentment, decided to give it a chance and interacted with him on social media.

The speaker decided to undergo cosmetic surgery for liposuction and breast augmentation. Despite initial doubts, the speaker's mother humorously suggested that the ex-partner might return after the surgery, which the speaker found amusing.

After the surgery, the ex-partner made romantic gestures like writing letters and sending flowers, expressing a desire to reconcile. The speaker's mother hinted that he might want to get back together, but the speaker remained skeptical due to lingering resentment.
