She’s Convinced Her Boyfriend Is About To Leave Her For His Ex, So She’s Thinking She Should End Things Before He Does
A 29-year-old woman has been dating her 30-year-old boyfriend for 3 years now. She first met her boyfriend while she was traveling through Scotland for work.
They began dating in Scotland, and as luck would have it, her boyfriend’s job allowed him to move to Australia, which is where she is from.
So, they settled down in Australia together, and everything was so wonderful, up until recently.
“It’s probably important that I tell you that my boyfriend is a very attractive man, so attractive that people often take notice when we go out together causing him to get hit on by several women,” she explained.
“Of course he rejects them but this has never made me uncomfortable because I was secure in my relationship and trusted him as I knew he thought I was beautiful from how he always uplifted my looks.”
Well, not that long ago, her boyfriend’s gorgeous ex wound up moving to where they live. Her boyfriend met his ex as a “tween” and eventually started dating her. Her boyfriend was friends with his ex prior to getting involved romantically and stayed friends with his ex after she dumped him for another guy.
Her boyfriend’s ex reached out to her boyfriend through Facebook to ask him to help her get acquainted with the new town.
In the Facebook messages her boyfriend’s ex sent, this woman also said she was sorry for how their relationship had come to an end.
Her boyfriend agreed to see his ex, and then they started spending a lot of time together and getting really “close.”
Lately, she has been working a lot at night at a local hospital as a doctor, so she does not have a ton of free time to spend with her boyfriend.

Despite her lack of free time, she really goes out of her way to make sure they have date nights, and she does plenty of thoughtful things for him.
“Recently, he has constantly blown me off and the time we have together to be with her and do all the hobbies we used to do together with her, like finding new hiking trails and walking them together, having movie nights together at each others’ houses, and baking and cooking together,” she said.
“He often talks for like 10 minutes straight about how amazing she is and how much he’s missed having her around and how he doesn’t understand how stupid he was to disregard how straight up amazing she is.”
Her boyfriend gets giddy to be with his ex, and she genuinely believes that her boyfriend is beginning to love his ex more with each day he spends with her.
She has confronted her boyfriend about her concerns, but he brushes her off and accuses her of being envious of him only wanting to catch up with his ex.
Since Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, she asked her boyfriend if he would like to take a hike with her to this place that had been decked out in beautiful lights for the holiday.
She thought it would be fun to do this hike with her boyfriend…but it turns out he already went on this romantic hike with his ex several days ago and “he forgot” to let her know about that.
She couldn’t help but freak out on him as he raved about how lovely the walk was with his ex.
“He couldn’t understand why I was mad and said “Don’t be jealous just because she’s pretty..this constant jealousy is making you seem ugly,” she explained.
“I could tell he regretted saying it once he said it but I have never been so hurt in my life. I left the room and he later apologized but not for basically calling me ugly but for “yelling.”
The following morning, her boyfriend insisted he’s in love with her, though he is really irritated by how jealous she is of his ex.
She knows the end of their relationship is looming, and she’s positive her boyfriend is going to dump her to go be with his ex.
She’s wondering if she should end things first…before he does.
Is it time for her to end things, or should she stick this out? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
