He Left Me Three Years Ago But My Netflix Still Runs On His Account

I’m the movie type. I can stay indoors and watch movies all day without eating. During the Covid, I was dating Sampson, a workaholic who didn’t have time to watch a single episode of a movie. We were a perfect match.

Sometimes love works like that. You don’t need to find the one you share the same interest with. Opposite attracts so while he was busy on his laptop working, I was in my corner watching movies.

We would stop once in a while and talk and get back to work again. I did the lockdown with him. Because we were not going anywhere, I completed watching all the movies on my laptop. I was bored and restless. Because I didn’t have anything to do, I took my attention on him and worried him while he was working.

One morning he said, “Let me register you on Netflix so you stop worrying me.”

I didn’t know what Netflix was but he sat with me and directed me on how to register. When we got to where I had to enter my account details, he keyed in his card details and tadaaa, I was opened to thousands of movies and series I didn’t know which one to select.

I could watch movies all day and he could work on his computer all day. Both of us were sorted.

After the lockdown, I was jobless. A man I knew asked me to see him for a job and I did. In his house, this man coerced me and had sex with me before I could have the job. The guilt lived in my head and heart rent-free so I confessed to Sampson about what happened. I accepted my mistake but he was so angry he called the relationship off that very moment.

I begged him. I told him I would be a better woman. I promised a thing of that nature would never happen again but I looked too fifty in his eyes so he didn’t accept me back. Our relationship ended on Christmas Day 2020. He even blocked me on Whatsapp and blocked me on social media but the Netflix kept running. I thought he had forgotten.

Four months later, I called him on another line. He was calm and appeared happy. I asked him to unblock me and he did. I apologized once again and he told me he had forgiven me long ago. I said, “I have a confession. The Netflix is still running.” He answered, “I know. I get a notification whenever I’m deducted. You love it so let it run. It’s a gift.”

It’s almost three years and the Netflix is still running on his account. We talk once in a while but nothing serious. I’m in another relationship and he’s in one too. He told me they are getting married very soon and I wished him well.

My current guy wants to share my Netflix account with me and I tell him no. I lied that I got it from someone else and the person doesn’t want me to give it to anybody. When he realized the account was in my name, he got angry and called me selfish. I told him, “There’s a history behind it. Please understand me.”

I can’t let him enjoy what my ex pays for that’s the simple truth but I can’t also bring myself to tell him the story behind it. Once in a while, we argue about it. Nothing serious but that won’t let me tell him why. Someone pays for it. He can also pay for his own if he wants it that much.
