Fiancée Uses My Deepest Trauma To Win A Game, Revealing A Competitive Obsession That Ends Our Relationship.
--------
The OP (31M) was engaged to Emily (29F), a woman he deeply trusted and with whom he had shared his childhood trauma. Emily, known for her extreme competitiveness, used OP’s trauma during a game night to distract him and win a match of Mario Kart, revealing her obsession with winning. OP was devastated, especially as this betrayal involved disclosing his most painful experience in front of friends, breaching his trust.
Emily initially apologized, claiming she didn’t mean it, but later admitted to planning the tactic to ensure victory, driven by her desperation to "feel like a winner" during a difficult period in her life. Her behavior, combined with her history of competitiveness affecting relationships and jobs, highlighted deep-seated issues. Despite her pleas to make amends and seek help, OP realized her actions were premeditated and irreparable.
The betrayal prompted OP to reflect on his past trauma, his trust in Emily, and his own boundaries. His friends supported him, encouraging him to end the relationship and take steps to protect himself. Emily’s behavior during their final confrontation further confirmed the impossibility of continuing the relationship, as she admitted to seeing their relationship as another competition.
Ultimately, OP ended the engagement, choosing to focus on healing and seeking relationships with mutual trust. Emily’s fixation on "winning" had not only ended their relationship but also underscored her need for serious help, leaving OP determined to prioritize his well-being and avoid such toxic dynamics in the future.
