    Font - Posted by u/ThrowRApeachsodaaaa 2 days ago AITA for ruining my boyfriend's 'clout' on TikTok? Not the A-hole Clarification so this doesn't get removed: I am NOT asking for any judgment relationship-wise. I'm asking if I am TA for my dueting his video.

    Font - I am 20F. My boyfriend (21M) downloaded TikTok a while ago & developed a decent following, nothing close to Charli or anything but around 80k followers which is pretty impressive. Most of his videos are "thirst trap" type videos (basically him just being hot on camera lol), which I am totally fine with.

    Font - However for the past month, he's been trying to push out more content because he wants to hit 100k followers before his birthday in April. He's gone from spending 2-3hrs filming per day to close to 6hrs (filming, editing, etc). He's still in school and I work during the day, so the time he spends filming is now cutting into the time we used to spend together.

    Organism - I brought it up with him two weeks ago and he said he'd try to make time for me but hasn't yet. We haven't spent any time together at all this week, and last week he was an hour late to our date (which I had to leave work early to get to) because he was filming stuff.

    Font - Two days ago, he posted a "day in the life" TikTok. He filmed his "daily routine" which was pretty accurate, but he also included a clip of us cuddling with text over it that said "4:00-8:00, spending time with my girlfriend". I was a little bit hurt by it. The clip he used was over 2 months old, and I honestly can't remember the last time he spent more than half an hour with me, let alone 4 hours.

    Font - In response, I dueted the video and greenscreened screenshots of his texts from when he ditched me to film, pushed dates back by hours, cancelled plans, etc. I admit, it was petty, but I was upset that he was essentially using our relationship for clout & "boyfriend points" with his followers but hasn't been putting any effort into the relationship IRL.

    Font - My video blew up & his comments are filled with angry comments telling him off for being neglectful, using me for clout, etc. He's lost a chunk of followers as well. He's really upset with me, he said I had no reason to sabotage his TikTok account like that, and if I was upset with him, I should have just talked to him. He's begging me to post a follow up video saying the screenshots were fake & vouch for him being a good boyfriend, but I'm refusing.

    Organism - I do feel bad because he is pretty dedicated to his account, and I feel guilty for being the reason he's losing followers, but at the same time I feel like what I did was justified. AITA? EDIT: Just want to clarify that other than this, he's been very good to me & we've had no other major issues in the 2 years we've been together.

    Font - CocaoPuffs97 Partassipant [1] 2 days ago NTA he lied for clout and the truth exposed him, he needs to earn back the followers whose trust he violated, it's not you're job to lie AGAIN for more clout. I think he might need a break from TikTok tbh.

    Font - Clarisse1984 Partassipant [3] 1 day ago I'm sorry he left you for TikTok. I'm sure they'll be happy together since that matters more to him than you do. NTA He lied, he used you, he assumed the risk of exposure, he can face the consequences.

    Font - literally_tho_tbh 1 day ago So in this situation, YOU have to keep quiet about him neglecting you and the relationship, or else he will be mad? Why oh why would this ever be worth it? If I were in your shoes I'd ditch him

    Font - emma0098 Partassipant [1] 1 day ago yeah dude he was mad because he thought you should have talked to him about it instead of making a video, but you HAVE been talking to him about it! honestly if he doesn't snap out of it soon this is heading into breakup territory. he's neglecting you and being suuuuper hypocritical and not respecting you or your feelings at all

    Font - blinkingsandbeepings Asshole Enthusiast [5] 2 days ago 3 & 3 More ESH. He's being a shitty boyfriend but you really went for the nuclear option there. I feel like you can't make stuff public like that if you don't intend to break up, because no one who sees that is ever going to respect your relationship again, and that's going to take its toll on both of you.

    Organism - terrapharma Colo-rectal Surgeon [39] 1 day ago I'm much older than you and she took the passive aggressive path by taking their relationship problems public. She sabotaged something he loves instead of pushing communication or couples therapy. They are not likely to survive this as a couple.
