My Situationship Removed Me From His Netflix Account. Here’s What I Did Next~ Bisi’s Story

And then there are the ones that come with a Netflix error message.
I didn’t think my situationship ending would affect my entertainment plans, but apparently, I had underestimated the power of a shared subscription. 😭
Here’s how I went from depending on someone else’s Netflix account to finding a smarter way to enjoy my favourite subscriptions.
At the time, I was broke. Not “I’ll manage” broke, I mean the kind of broke where Netflix and Spotify in the same month felt like choosing between light bill and data. So when he offered to add me to his Netflix subscription, I didn’t think twice.
Obviously, I said yes.
One debit off my card? Gone.
And just like that, I could watch my favourite shows without worrying about another monthly subscription payment.
Life was good.
Until… it wasn’t.
One day, he asked me:
“What are we?”
I gave what I thought was a perfectly reasonable answer:
“We are children of God.”
Apparently, that was not the answer he was looking for.
Things got heated, and eventually, the situation changed.
But he had promised he wouldn’t remove me from his Netflix subscription regardless of what happened.
So I thought my Netflix was safe.
I was wrong.
One night, I wanted to watch a movie.
I opened Netflix, ready for my usual comfort show…
And boom.
I had been removed.
No Netflix.
No binge-watching.
Just me staring at the screen and wondering how a situationship had somehow become a subscription problem.
I cried to my friend, and she basically told me to wipe my tears because there was another option.
She introduced me to Subify.
Subify makes it possible to share subscription costs with others instead of bearing the full cost yourself.
So instead of waiting for someone you’re dating, your friend, or your roommate to add you to their Netflix plan, you can find a subscription group and split the cost.
And honestly?
That is the kind of independence I needed.
Because your access to Netflix should not depend on your relationship status.
Situationship today, “what are we?” tomorrow, Netflix gone the next day.
With Subify, you can share subscription costs, spend less, and still enjoy the services you love.
So if you’ve ever lost access to a subscription because someone changed their mind, take this as your sign.
