Overreaction

By rejected - 13/04/2012 05:09 - United States - Charlotte

Today, my girlfriend saw the name "Melissa" on my phone's contact list. After refusing to tell her who it was, she accused me of being a cheater, broke up with me and stormed out of my house. Melissa is the name of a woman from Craigslist who was going to sell me an antique engagement ring. FML

You could have told her that it was because of a present to her... Then no loose ends to misunderstand on :) Fyl though, she sounds kind of insecure.. If she really love you, maybe she will want you back

Be thankful that you won't be married to an insecure child. You dodged a bullet to the head.

I kind of want to say both, when faced with relationship enders, I would have more than likely said something like, "She's a salesperson i got to get a present for you' but then, also, what if you have friends of the opposite sex, or something, she cannot want you to not associate with the opposite sex forever

You probably should have come up with something to tell her, she's just an old friend or something. Instead of just refusing to tell her who this person was. I'd find it suspicious if my boyfriend jut refused to tell me who somebody was, but I also wouldn't be bothered by seeing a woman's name in his contacts... that's just being way too insecure. I'd still say FYL, she just seems really insecure.

Better yet, contact one of her friends and get her to help you. Your girl's friends are your friends, too.

Maybe it's just me but she seems to be flying off the handle. When people ask me questions, I have the right to supply an answer or refuse to. That's everyone's right. So she took her right to dump him into consideration

Sounds like maybe she was snooping around in your phone when she shouldn't have been. In that case you dodged a bullet.

I almost said YDI for not telling her who Melissa was, but when I read your reasoning, I understood. So definitely FYL here, your girlfriend is one of those girls who jump to conclusions whenever you associate with a member of the opposite sex in any way. I guess you could call her and tell her the truth, though that would ruin the surprise of the engagement. But then again, maybe you should ask yourself if you want to be with someone so paranoid anyway.

My gf would be equally irritated, as I would if she did the same. You refused to tell her. What else did you think would happen?

aww that is unfortunate but a quick fix is to go propose and explain once you have the ring. Good luck, OP, but once she realizes it is a girl from Craigslist and not your other girlfriend, it will be a cute story to tell your kids.
