She Wants To Dump Her Boyfriend Because They Got Into A Fight While He Was Away On A Boys Trip, And He Followed A Bunch Of New Women On Instagram From The Country He Was Visiting

This 26-year-old woman and her boyfriend, who is 24, have been together for eight months now, and they've been doing quite well as a couple. The only problem she has with their relationship is that she and her boyfriend have a tendency to bicker over little, "stupid" things.

"However, we have been working on managing our differences in a more healthy way, and the arguments have gone way down in recent months," she said.

But her boyfriend is currently out of town visiting his childhood best friend in another country for one month. So, when they got into an argument one evening about a week ago, things were different.

That night, her boyfriend had been out while they were fighting, and he just turned off his phone – effectively ignoring all of her messages.

Thankfully, the next morning, they were able to talk through the disagreement and "make up." Still, after the fight, she noticed that the number of people her boyfriend was following on Instagram had increased by five or six people overnight.

In the beginning, she wasn't too worried. She also joked about it to her boyfriend, asking if he followed a bunch of girls while he was angry at her.

"He's never done that before (that I know of), so it really was just a lighthearted joke on my part," she explained.

"He replied saying that he didn't. He just followed a few fitness accounts. Again, I wasn't really worried."

Well, about one week later, she noticed that her boyfriend had followed even more accounts – about four or five. According to her, she never really tries to police her boyfriend's "following" number, either.

"But he follows less than 100 people, so it's sort of noticeable when there's a change," she reasoned.

That's why she became pretty curious and started going through the list of people her boyfriend follows on Instagram. At that point, she found out he'd followed a bunch of new women who lived in the area he was currently visiting.

So, she confronted her boyfriend about it, and at first, he actually lied and tried to deny following any new girls. Then, when she sent him "the evidence," he was forced to confess and apologize.

Now, she does think that her boyfriend genuinely seems apologetic, but she's still considering breaking up with him over this.

"It might sound insecure, but I do believe that if a man is willing to look at other people like that so freely, they don't really respect you," she vented.

"I'm the most concerned right now that I will be respected or considered in the future."

Still, before she calls it quits, she's not sure if dumping her boyfriend for following other women on Instagram during his boys' trip is justified or not.

Do you agree that following other women during a fight and lying about it afterward is a red flag? Could her boyfriend have done other things he's not telling her during his boys' trip? What would you do in her shoes?
