UPDATE - Thinking of breaking up with my (30F) boyfriend (25M) of 4 months due to his reaction to me wanting to spend a weekend alone.
Here is a link to my original post from January 15th 2025
Hi all -
First off thank you for the overwhelming response to my original post. A lot of you really lifted me up and I got a few good laughs out of it too, so thanks for taking the time out of your day to respond.
I'll keep this very short - I decided to break up with him (shock). Unfortunately his birthday was this past Tuesday so I sat on it for a few days. My best friend's advice was to break up with him on his birthday, that way he'll know I really mean it. I judicially decided to dispense with that nugget of wisdom.
It's actually very hard to pretend everything's ok when you're really just waiting to break up with someone. Nice to know I'm not a total sociopath. Anyway fast forward to last Wednesday (22nd), I was at trivia night with friends - like every Wednesday - where there are no phones allowed. After TWO HOURS I look at my phone and see a message saying "thanks for ignoring me". Well I'm a petty *word that rhymes with witch, pitch, ditch and glitch* so I decided to actually ignore him. I left him on read until Saturday. You know what happened Saturday? He came to my house and sat outside my front door for 45 minutes.
I waited him out (pretended I wasn't home), went for drinks with my best friend, sent him a text calling the whole show off and blocked him everywhere. He hasn't been back to my house since, but I installed one of those doorbell camera jobs - just in case, tie your lace.
Anyway thanks for the kick up the arse, all's well that end's well.
It's my birthday today so pour one out for me and take this as a sign to just do it, whatever it is
