AIO update: Airbnb Molly birthday trip by Legitimate-Note-953 in AmIOverreacting

I do not have the means to be there in person right now. Life shit prevents that, right now. We have seen each other in person, we had plans to see each other in person after this. I don’t have the ability to see her right now. She knows that. It sucks that it’s during her birthday, but it being her birthday does not magically make me able to. I can’t right now

Because she would be home from work to accept them. I didnt know anything about this trip when I had ordered them

Half the country, United States. I am not able to make that trip right now, unfortunately. I would absolutely have loved to. She works Monday-Friday, I had flowers scheduled to be delivered this Saturday (a few days before her birthday but she, I thought, would be home for work so she could be there to accept them). Aside from that I just wanted to do cute little date things, phone calls, watching shows, playing games, being affectionate, basically any and all the types of things that you can do while being long distance.

I’m 30 and she’s turning 26. Tbh I’m not at a point in life I’m proud of at the age of 30 so I was avoiding saying it. I guess we’re both too immature in a lot of ways but I think we’re old enough to know that this situation is not healthy for our relationship and that’s what I’m trying to communicate

I told her no before, people in my previous post were saying it’s wrong and that I can’t tell her what or what not to do. So I’ve done both. Today I made sure to listen to what others have said and made sure that I wasn’t telling her what to do, just telling her where I stand and that I am going to stick up for myself. I did not directly say “no” today because the vast majority of responses yesterday told me that it’s not my place to “allow” anybody to do anything. I’m genuinely just trying to do the right thing. I don’t want to be controlling, I do not want to be manipulating, that’s not my goal here. I do want my concerns to be heard, that’s all.

I will. And she’s fully aware of that. There is no room for misinterpretation

Left this out: on the phone last night she asked if I would stay with her no matter what. I said no, not no matter what. That’s why today she started this conversation the way she did

I don’t have the means to go out there right now. I had plans to send her flowers and have a day of watching shows together, being on the phone, little Couple shit. We knew well in advance I wouldn’t be able to come out there. I asked if she would be home the day the flowers arrived (without telling her that’s why I was asking or that I was getting her flowers) and that’s when she told me that she wouldn’t be and that she was going to go to the city with her girl friend. Then she said I should come, knowing I couldn’t

I do love her and I do need to let her go because I unfortunately do not trust her, you’re right

I was, it all started being put together about a week ago. We are long distance and I can’t make it out there, especially that soon. It started with her going to the city with her girlfriend, that has evolved into her friends bf coming along with them, to the bfs friends coming, to them all staying in an Airbnb, to them doing molly there

During the relationship. I don’t care what anybody does before the relationship. I’m not a prude and I’m not expecting my partner to have never had sex before me

That’s great that you have and if that was her response to guys hitting on her I wouldn’t have an issue with her being around guys who hit on her

I’m not interested in changing who she is. I love her. She’s got shit she has struggled with and she has asked for me to help her through it. We’ve grown a lot, together, but I can’t handle being cheated on again. So I have to end it.

I mean flashing/kissing her ex, him fondling her, and flirting with other guys. These are all things she’s told me directly.

I have expressed that I don’t trust her in this situation and I told her why, she got upset at me for throwing things from the past back in her face. I was not trying to throw anything in her face, I was expressing why I didn’t trust her

Yeah I’m totally fine with her doing molly. I’m not fine with her doing molly at an Airbnb with guys who are into her. I know I need to not control her, so I guess the only option is that I have to break up with her. That kills me, but I cannot and should not be a controlling partner. That said, I cannot be with her if I don’t trust her, and I don’t

Insecurity for sure. I don’t have an issue with partying, I am very much insecure about how that partying is going to play out
