He Wants To Break Up With His Girlfriend Because While He Was Away With Her Family At Their Vacation Home, It Was Clear That His Girlfriend Couldn’t Stop Doting Over Her Childhood Crush
This 17-year-old boy and his girlfriend have been dating since they were 14 years old.
Not long ago, he went on vacation with his girlfriend and her family to her family’s vacation home.
This was his first trip with his girlfriend.
During the drive, his girlfriend’s mother asked if she was looking forward to a particular boy, and she said it in a playful, joking manner.
“My girlfriend started getting embarrassed and told her to shut up, and everyone laughed,” he said.
His girlfriend’s father then explained to him that since she was 10-years-old, she’s had a huge crush on one of the employees of a restaurant that they enjoy going to on their stays at their vacation home.
Her childhood crush is currently in his early 20s and has been at this restaurant since he was about 16.
Since this restaurant is her family’s favorite, and they’ve been going there for years, oftentimes more than once a day when they’re on vacation, they’ve gotten to know him pretty well.
He brushed the story aside as “cute” and “funny,” but nothing more than that. However, his feelings quickly changed after they arrived at his girlfriend’s family’s vacation home.

Everyone was really hungry, so they wanted to go to the restaurant right away, but his girlfriend asked if she could take a shower first.
“She said she feels gross after the car journey and wants to look nice. She takes three hours to get ready, doing her makeup and everything. She normally barely takes an hour,” he explained.
Since they were probably going to take photos to remember their vacation, he hoped at first that this was why she was putting so much effort into her appearance.
But looking back now, he thinks she wanted to look her best for her childhood crush.
Once his girlfriend was ready, they all went to the restaurant, and her family said hi to all of the employees.
His girlfriend seemed like she was waiting for something, and suddenly, he heard an employee in the back say her crush’s name, letting him know that his “‘helper'” had arrived.
“He comes out and says hi to my girlfriend and her family, and my girlfriend says hi, and I can tell she’s blushing and smiling sweetly at him. He carries on working, and I ask her why she is called his helper. She says she doesn’t know. Then, her mom interrupts and says whenever she sees him cleaning a table, she goes up to help him,” he shared.
After her mother said this, his girlfriend blushed again and was silent.
During dinner, he noticed that his girlfriend couldn’t keep her eyes off of her crush every time he was around.
Each time her crush smiled at her, she acted bashful, looking away while blushing.
As they were eating, he texted his girlfriend, requesting that she stop gawking at her crush. He added that it was upsetting to watch but that he didn’t want to make things awkward.
In response, his girlfriend said that she hadn’t been staring at her crush. Then, as his girlfriend’s crush was clearing plates off of another table, his girlfriend got up and started assisting him.
He watched his girlfriend take some glasses over to the bar, and she talked with her crush as they did this together.
It seemed like his girlfriend’s father must have picked up on his frustration because he told him that they would never allow her to date her childhood crush due to their age difference. He also said that her crush might already be in a relationship.
This didn’t make him feel much better because his girlfriend was doing this right in front of him.
Finally, they finished eating, and as they were leaving the restaurant, his girlfriend told her crush goodbye, gave him an uncomfortable, quick embrace, and then dashed off.
Back at his girlfriend’s family’s vacation home, he and his girlfriend had a fight. He told her that her behavior was humiliating, while she said that he needed to “grow up.”
She claimed that her actions were innocent and she just helped her crush clear a table.
He said that he hadn’t seen her do this anywhere else, and she said that since she and her family know the staff at this restaurant so well, it’s a different circumstance.
When he asked if she behaved this way each time they visited this restaurant while on vacation, she told him that she did.
In his girlfriend’s view, there’s nothing wrong with her actions, but he believes that if she had the chance to break up with him and date her crush instead, she would.
Understandably, this realization made him feel awful.
Throughout the rest of their vacation, they ate several more meals at this restaurant, and his girlfriend continued to help her crush and talk to him despite knowing how much it hurt him.
Instead of trying to see where he was coming from, she told him to move on.
Normally, his girlfriend shows him a lot of physical affection, but during this vacation, she has hardly touched or even kissed him.
Today, they’re driving back to their hometown, and he’s debating on whether or not he should end the relationship once they arrive home.
