His Ex Went Nuclear On Him For Proposing To Another Girl Not Long After Their Breakup
This 31-year-old man and his ex-girlfriend Chloe, who’s 29, dated for four years until they ultimately split up three years ago.
At the time, Chloe received an awesome job opportunity that required her to move across the country, and she gave him an ultimatum. He could either propose to her and follow her, or they needed to break up.
This sparked the downfall of their relationship since he had a business and wasn’t able to abandon his own work. Plus, he wasn’t nearly ready to tie the knot.
“Honestly, Chloe and I had been on different pages for a while. Our last year together was full of fights and miscommunication. Her ultimatum was just the last straw,” he recalled.
Still, she didn’t handle their breakup well and painted him as the bad guy to everyone. He got blamed for “stealing her time” and wasting her child-bearing years.
The worst part, though, was how Chloe claimed he’d end up alone, just like his dad.
“Which was a low blow because my dad’s a deadbeat, and I don’t have contact with him,” he noted.
Anyway, he tried to move on, and one year later, he began dating his now-fiancée Gabby, who’s 26. He believes that was the best thing to happen to him, too.
They’ve been dating for two years and have been living together for around five months. Just two weeks ago, he also decided to pop the question and ask her to marry him.

She said yes, and eager to share the exciting news, he and Gabby posted photos of their engagement on social media.
But unfortunately, the pictures prompted his ex-girlfriend Chloe to come out of the woodwork and freak out on him.
Within 12 hours of the social media posts, Chloe called and berated him. She accused him of being a cheating jerk who wasted her precious time.
“She kept going on and on. I was honestly taken aback and tried to talk to her, but she was just yelling. Eventually, I hung up mid-call,” he detailed.
Chloe’s friends have since hopped on the bandwagon, calling him nonstop and sending him hateful messages. On top of that, they’ve even begun attacking Gabby on social media, leaving nasty comments and “wishing harm on her.”
Finally, their businesses have been receiving “sketchy” bad reviews. All of this is really taking a toll on him and Gabby.
And he tried venting to his mom about the whole situation, yet to his surprise, she actually took his ex’s side.
His mom thought he should understand that proposing to Gabby “so soon” after breaking up with Chloe was a jerky move and that it would “reopen old wounds” for his ex.
He was really caught off guard by his mom’s response, especially because they are super close, and she’s usually the “voice of reason” when drama arises.
He ended up leaving her house early without saying goodbye to her, and he cannot stop thinking about everything.
Thankfully, all of his own friends have taken his side, and he really doesn’t feel like he did anything wrong.
“But maybe I’m not seeing something. Gabby is also upset because our happy news has been overshadowed by this mess, and she’s worried about the impact it’s having on her business with all the bad reviews,” he stated.
Now, he’s genuinely not sure if he actually did propose to his fiancée “too soon” and whether that makes him a jerk or not.
If your ex from three years ago got engaged, would you think they moved on too fast? Or is that an adequate amount of time to pass?
