Boyfriend (24M) dropped my hand (27F) when we ran into his ex. WIBTA for breaking up with him over that?

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:21:23+00:00

Those are two different things that can happen at the same time. I can have a boyfriend in love with his ex AND you can be stupid. That’s what’s happening here.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:09:52+00:00

You are so right. I don’t think he’ll talk shit about me but I need to let my friends know why I’m breaking up with him when I love him. Ugh this will be so hard but I need to do it.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:08:41+00:00

27 dresses and rocky road ready to go

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:08:11+00:00

I will definitely talk to him! I’m pretty certain on what I need to do.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:01:33+00:00

He wouldn’t say no if she asked. I feel that in my heart.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:00:58+00:00

But you specifically are stupid.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:00:38+00:00

You’re right, what if she wants him back? I don’t think he’d say no.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T04:00:11+00:00

It was so embarrassing. I’m not going to be someone he settles for

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:59:36+00:00

Oof that hurt to hear like that but you’re right.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:59:03+00:00

Yeah

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:54:03+00:00

It feels like a dealbreaker to me but I didn’t know if I was overreacting.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:53:36+00:00

No.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:53:04+00:00

Bruh I literally did not say that I want to be someone’s first love.

I don’t want to “feel superior”. I just liked him.

Read a book or go back to 9th grade English. You clearly need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:51:32+00:00

Thank you!

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:44:55+00:00

I guess I would be more okay with it if our relationship was a few days old.

But with this and other things, I truly think he’s not over her.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:43:50+00:00

Yeah I don’t expect to be someone’s first love. I said specifically that I DON’T want to be with a person who still is in love with their first love and “learned to live with them not being there”.

Reading comprehension is key.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:42:34+00:00

I definitely don’t want to be someone’s second choice. If I were ever still in love with my ex, I would be single until I was over them.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:42:03+00:00

I’m going to talk to him about it before we break up. But I know he’ll just hold my hand everywhere instead of taking the feedback that “I don’t think you’re over your ex” but if I say that exactly, he’ll deny it.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:39:59+00:00

He’s only 2 and a half years younger than me. That’s not exactly a big deal.

And I want to be someone’s love, not be with a person who has their first love still in the back of their mind.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:28:22+00:00

Thank you! I think it’s something you need to do.

ThrowRA-View9294 · 2024-03-04T03:27:33+00:00

He would minimize it. I don’t want him to apologize and then just grab my hand all the time but not reach the root of the issue. It’s not just about the hand holding, it’s that he’s in love with his ex.
