He Dumped His Girlfriend Right At The Start of Her Family Vacation After She Berated Him Last Night At A Wedding In Front of His Friends
This 23-year-old guy and his 23-year-old girlfriend have been dating for 5 and a half years, and they first started their relationship as high school came to a close for them.
Since they began going out together, not very much is different in their lives. He went to college just 20 minutes down the street from their hometown, so he commuted and spent every single day with his girlfriend.
Back in college, they got along great, and they shared a lot of hobbies. They liked spending time outside together, and they liked playing video games.
They communicated excellently, and if they did have a problem, they could talk through things to solve whatever wasn’t working quickly.
Everything wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. He knows he has been a bit too critical of her over the years, and she has been always dead set on doing the opposite of any advice he gave her.
“Another issue was that her career aspirations were virtually nonexistent,” he explained. “She does not have a direction in life or at least has not brought them to light.”
“She has worked at the same job since high school in our small town, and part of the reason why she doesn’t want to leave it is that I think that she is afraid to leave her family if she has to move towns.”
“I have always been afraid of what would happen if we moved away for a while and feared that her family would perceive it as me trying to take her away. In reality, all I would want is for us to start making our own memories and our own traditions together as a couple.”
Speaking of her family, she is ridiculously attached to them. He does think being involved with your family is a wonderful thing, but his girlfriend takes things way too far, and he finds her relationship with her loved ones stifling.

Last night, he attended a wedding for one of his friends with his girlfriend, but instead of staying overnight and driving this morning to her family vacation, his girlfriend got all over him around midnight to leave.
He was so upset because he was excited to see his friends at the wedding, and many he has not seen since high school as they live in separate states.
So, before he and his girlfriend even left for the wedding, he made it clear to her that they were staying overnight and continuing to her family vacation in the morning.
But, as the night wore on, his girlfriend had a lot to drink and started yelling at him in front of all of his friends at the wedding.
She called him some awful names before saying he has no brain cells and is cheap since he doesn’t ever pay for anything.
He figured if he did agree to leave right then and there, he could avoid her continuing to humiliate him, so he said he would drive through the night to get to her family vacation.
It took about 3 hours, and he did mention to his girlfriend that she had really hurt his feelings at the wedding.
“She didn’t even acknowledge, take accountability for drinking too much, or even apologize,” he said.
“When we got the vacation rental, we went to bed immediately, and that was that. In the morning, I packed my bags and left. She wanted an explanation, and I told her I didn’t want to get into it right now as we had zero privacy to actually talk about our feelings. I figured this was the best place to let her down as she would be surrounded by her family all week.”
“I couldn’t bring myself to fake it all week and pretend that all was well in front of her 10 other family members. I already have to take liking my job all year and didn’t want one of my two weeks off a year to have to be the same thing, albeit with a lot more emotions wrapped up into it.”
“I’ve decided to devote my newfound time to working on myself and really do some deep thinking/processing. Any advice on how I move forward would be greatly appreciated. I have basically come to terms with never seeing her again, and I am ok with that at this point. At the end of the day, I just want to feel happy, and I want her to be happy too.”
So, while he is confident with his decision to dump her, he is still unsure of how to get all of his stuff back from her place.
