Her parents warned her against marrying her boyfriend at 19. Despite all the red flags, they still did it: ‘I just knew it wasn’t going to end well’
It could've been a runaway bride moment.
Internet personality and streamer Meep (@meepiosaurus) revealed that she was married at 19. It wasn’t a fairy tale, and she told TikTok about the red flags leading up to her wedding.
“At this moment, I was separating myself from my family,” Meep prefaced her story. Now divorced, she claimed her husband “wasn’t the best” in terms of character. Furthermore, she alleged that he had been physically abusive but didn’t go into detail about it.
“The beginning of that pattern starts with them taking you away from your family and your friends, kind of ostracizing you from your support system,” she alleged. A former prosecutor has also described dangerous men and the characteristics they have in common. Meep now recognizes the pattern, but couldn’t when she was 19.
Her dad gave her a warning sign
“So, I remember my dad and I were besties at the time, and I started really detaching myself from him. Stopped going to therapy,” Meep said. At the time, she was supposed to be tested for bipolar disorder, but didn’t push through. She told her dad she was getting married the next day while they were in a parking lot.
“I remember it was one of those conversations that was heavy, okay? And I could tell there was something more happening in that conversation, and it was something I wasn’t picking up on,” Meep recalled. She said she knew she was making a mistake, and her father also advised her. He allegedly told her not to sign any contract that indicated she was married to her then-boyfriend. Meep believes her dad saw through her boyfriend and thought he was taking advantage of her.
Before she and her boyfriend got together, she had just gotten out of a five-year relationship. Meep admitted, “I was feeling a lot of things.” But Meep’s dad wasn’t the only person who seemed worried about the upcoming wedding. She said that during her shift at Tropical Smoothie, her mom came in to get her smoothie order. Their relationship was strained at the time, but Meep offhandedly told her mom that she was getting married. Her mom was also surprised by the news.
On the day of the wedding, Meep said she hadn’t told her friends or other family members about the situation. She commented, “That’s a bad sign.” However, they still pushed through with the wedding. During their drive to the county clerk’s office, Meep said she and her boyfriend got into a “crazy fight.”
Stop the wedding
“I mean, the type of fight that makes you go, ‘Oh, this is not gonna work out.’ One of those fights,” Meep said. She explained that her boyfriend wanted her to delete TikTok. At the time, she was a rising star on the platform, and Meep said he wasn’t pleased.
“No abusive boyfriend is going to like their girlfriend getting a lot of attention from people online. So, he wants me to delete my account,” she claimed. Meep said she complied and deleted her account in the car. She eventually returned to the platform, since she could still retrieve her account within 24 hours of deletion. Regardless, the deletion was allegedly not enough for her boyfriend, and she accused him of pulling over and throwing things.
Eventually, they arrived at the county clerk’s office. They were still not speaking to each other, but they still wanted to push through with the wedding. Meep said another woman at the office saw her boyfriend’s military ID and made a face.
“It was like I saw the future in her face,” Meep said, continuing, “Oh my god. I just knew it wasn’t going to end well, and still did it.” When they were asked for their vows, neither of them had any prepared. She said, “That was a dark moment for me.” But even a forced wedding can be escaped. One woman said she wasn’t able to run away from the altar but still found a way out through divorce just a year after her wedding.
