Trending on people’s For You pages, a captivating 50-part TikTok story by ReesaTeesa has gotten the viewer’s attention. In the series, user @ReesaTeesa explores who she truly married.
The narrative unfolds gradually as she recounts how she met a man in March 2020 through online channels just before the U.S. implemented COVID lockdowns. Following a series of conversations, they decided to meet in person. Despite encountering a flat tire during their initial meeting, he generously covered all expenses and the date proceeded successfully.
As the lockdown ensued, they chose to move in together, and this is where the story takes a serious turn. ReesaTeesa discovers numerous falsehoods in the man’s statements, even on seemingly minor matters.
For instance, he falsely claimed to be in contact with a realtor to secure a house, while in reality, he was evasive with the realtor.
The narrative intensifies as ReesaTeesa grapples with the news of her pregnancy, attempting to secure a house with the man again. However, complications arise when it’s revealed that he has a separate savings and offshore account that he never disclosed.
Given his prior financial support, this revelation leads the realtor to withdraw from the house deal, leaving ReesaTeesa confused.
Tragically, she experiences a miscarriage and infidelity becomes a recurring theme. The man consistently breaks promises, engages in deception, and uses personal tragedies as manipulation tactics.
Despite proposing to her, he is discovered cheating just three days later, creating a constant cycle of emotional manipulation.
Howard student Janhya Henderson gives her perspective on the series saying she should have left earlier.
“I feel like it was an interesting series, just to see how someone could actually be a pathological liar like that and have no reason behind it,” Henderson said. “My opinion on the lady is she should have left when she first started seeing the red flags because she was seeing them so soon in their relationship.”
Kiyonna Turner, another Howard student who has reached part 15, said, “A lot of the time, women lean on men for support in certain areas, and because they’re supporting them, they subside their actual wants and desires in a relationship.”
Turner’s takeaways from “Who tf did I marry” are to “always have your own and stand your ground. If you disagree, don’t put those feelings aside because those feelings will fester, and things will get worse, and nothing will ever be addressed.”
