I want to know if I took it too far. My boyfriend and I had an issue which made me break up with him. It all started when I looked through his phone and saw a particular message with a female friend whom he claims is his longtime friend. The message was him trying to introduce himself. He sent her his picture before she realised it was him. Then he said some things that didn’t sit well with me, like how they would have had about two children by now if he had known she wasn’t married yet, along with pet names like “love”, “yes baby”, and “that’s my girl”. They were also planning to link up the same night they started talking again after five years, as he claimed. He fixed Friday for them to meet. Mind you, he had work but was willing to close the store to see her. Further in the chat, he later fixed Sunday, the same Sunday he was supposed to see me. That means after seeing me, he would call her for the hangout. I confronted him minutes after seeing the messages. I asked who she was, and he said she was his longtime friend and that was how they played.
He said the comment about them having two children was just a silly joke. I told him you don’t joke like that with someone you call your sister. I got angry and ended the relationship on the spot because he clearly didn’t know boundaries. He apologised and said he knew it was inappropriate and that he was sorry. I wasn’t giving in because it all felt like a betrayal. To cut it short, he was trying to manipulate the situation, but I didn’t give in. So please, did I overreact?
