Mary Fatz was left in a stump after she excitedly visited her long-distance boyfriend at the university dorm only to discover that he was already inside with another girl and was cheating on her. The whole situation was caught on camera and Mary couldn't help but share the video on TikTok and captioned the video as 'couch guy' in reference to the infamous viral video that was shared last year on TikTok.
Long-distance relationships are always the most difficult to deal with especially when there is time management clashes and communication is poor between couples.
However, this American woman decided to go an extra length for her long-distance boyfriend at East Carolina University (ECU) and planned a surprise visit for him at his place except that everything went wrong with this surprise.
TikTok user Mary Fatz (@maryfatz) shared a video on her social media where she can be seen knocking on the dorm room of her boyfriend's at the hall of residence. However, she was left confused when he didn't respond. Soon it dawned upon Mary that his lack of response was because he had another girl in his room.
"When you go to visit your long-distance boyfriend and he doesn't answer because he has a girl over," the text overlay written by Fatz read as she stepped back from the door looking confused as to what was going on before knocking on his door once more.
"Couch guy ECU edition," Fatz wrote as the caption, referring to the infamous "Couch Guy" TikTok video that went viral last year when a clip of a woman visiting her boyfriend at university went viral when people micro analyzed the video over the boyfriend's lack of enthusiasm upon meeting his long-distance partner.
Copying the "Couch Guy" video, Mary used the same song in the background of her TikTok which is Ellie Goulding's "Still Falling For You."
The video has been viewed more than 28m times with some 3.4m likes, with many people flocking to the comments section to show their sympathy with Mary.
One person wrote: "How are you so calm? I would be crying."
"Biggest fear this is why I'll never do this," another person said.
Someone else added: "You’re very calm lol my ex did this & I literally kicked the door in."
"Poor poor girl I hope you find someone who treats you better," a fourth person replied.
Many people shared words of love and support for Mary and shared their own experiences with catching their cheating partners in action.
One person explained: "I had this happen [to me] except his roommate let me into his room not knowing."
"I’ve been done so wrong that I would assume the guys in the back were his look outs and he texted them to see who was at the door," another person said.
