Imagine ending a relationship over someone’s YouTube history. That’s exactly what one Utah woman says she did after discovering what her boyfriend had been watching online. In a video she shared, she appeared stunned and laughed in disbelief as she scrolled through his viewing history. According to her, it was filled with videos about how to manipulate and control women. The discovery clearly alarmed her, prompting her to tell viewers, “I gotta get out of here, guys. I’m in danger.”
The Utah woman went on to read aloud one of the titles she found in her boyfriend’s watch history was “Put Her to Work: Women Want to Care for You.” She pointed out that he had watched the entire video, which only made the situation more unsettling. After her clip went viral, some viewers criticized her, assuming she had stayed with him despite the discovery. In response, she posted a follow up video to clear things up. “I’m no longer with this man,” she said firmly, adding that she had confronted him directly about the videos before ending the relationship.
Another question she received was why she appeared to be laughing in the original video. She clarified that the laughter was a reaction to shock, not because she found the situation amusing. According to her, she was stunned by what she had discovered. She also explained that she had no idea her ex-boyfriend held those kinds of views, describing him as kind and normal in real life. Nothing about his behavior had suggested he was consuming content about manipulating women, which made the discovery even more unsettling.
The breakup surprised many people who knew the couple, especially because the man had a reputation for being kind and easygoing. According to the woman, some of his coworkers even asked her why they split up. At the time, she admitted she made excuses rather than revealing the real reason. Now, she says she felt it was important to be honest about what she discovered. She also explained that she stayed with him for a short time after finding the videos because her mother had recently passed away, and she was going through a difficult period. Ultimately, she did end the relationship. Beyond the manipulation content, she revealed that he had also been watching videos about how to flirt with women and attract women he considered “out of his league,” which further reinforced her decision to leave.
She even said she gave her ex-boyfriend a chance when she first confronted him, asking him to stop watching the videos. Instead, he continued consuming the same kind of content for another year before she ultimately decided to walk away. According to her, he is now pursuing much younger women, specifically 20-year-olds, and appears to be applying what he learned from those videos in his dating life. For her, that was all the confirmation she needed that leaving was the right decision.
