My Roommate Secretly Read My Journal And Exposed My Crush—So I Got The Ultimate Revenge
Having a roommate can be a blessing or a curse. On one hand, you split the rent and maybe even have someone to binge-watch reality TV with. On the other hand, you could end up living with a human embodiment of chaos. Unfortunately for one Redditor, who wrote “Roommate exposed my crush” — the betrayal was so intense, it led to the ultimate act of revenge.
The Betrayal: My Roommate Read My Journal And Exposed My Crush
OP had always been a private person. They kept a journal, not just for daily thoughts, but as a safe space to process emotions. It was their sanctuary—until one day, they walked into their apartment and felt something was… off.
Their journal wasn’t where they left it.
At first, OP thought maybe they had just misplaced it. But when their roommate started acting suspicious—dropping inside jokes and making little comments that hit way too close to home—OP knew something was up.
Then, the bomb dropped.
Their roommate, let’s call her Emily, blurted out OP’s secret crush in front of their entire friend group.
Yep. That’s right. Emily had not only read the journal but had also exposed the juiciest detail to the very people OP would’ve rather kept it from.
“I sat there in complete shock,” OP wrote. “She was laughing like it was some harmless joke, but I could feel my face burning. It wasn’t just about the crush—it was about my privacy being completely violated.”
The Ultimate Revenge: If She Wants Drama, She’s Getting Drama
After the initial shock wore off, OP decided there was only one thing left to do: get even.
Rather than confronting Emily immediately (which she would’ve probably laughed off anyway), OP got creative. They started writing fake journal entries—ones filled with the most outlandish, drama-filled lies imaginable.
“I wrote about an ‘anonymous’ internship offer in Paris, a long-lost twin, and a billionaire who secretly admired me from afar,” OP said. “Every entry was more ridiculous than the last.”
And of course, Emily took the bait.
“She started acting weird, dropping hints about my ‘Paris move’ and even telling people how sad she was that I’d be leaving soon. It was glorious.”
When OP finally revealed the truth, Emily was mortified.
“She was furious that I ‘lied’ in my own journal,” OP said. “I just smiled and told her, ‘Maybe next time, you won’t read what isn’t yours.’”
The Internet Reacts: Justice Served Or Petty Revenge?
Naturally, Reddit had thoughts on OP’s revenge.
“NTA. She invaded your privacy, and she got exactly what she deserved. If anything, you were too nice. I would’ve hidden her stuff and gaslit her into thinking the apartment was haunted.”
“This is the best revenge I’ve ever heard. I wish I could’ve seen the look on her face when she realized you played her. 10/10, no notes.”
“She was mad that you ‘lied’ in your journal? LOL, she played herself. Hope she learned her lesson.”
“Honestly, I don’t think I could’ve stayed roommates after that level of betrayal. You got even, but I hope you got a new place, too.”
