Relationships, Relatable and Love: Overreaction

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

I'm innocent!

Today, my girlfriend and I were on the road. She saw that I got an innocent text from a friend, Melissa. In a fit of jealous rage, she put the gear of my car to “P” causing the car behind me to rear end me. My bumper fell off. She told me, “Tell that bitch Melissa to take care of that.” FML

Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend, when a girl came out of nowhere, screaming at me for cheating on her, and saying she was dumping me. I've never seen her before, and she was almost grinning during her little act, but my girlfriend believed it, and I'm now single. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me and threw all my stuff out into the yard because she caught me "texting another woman". Guess it didn't matter to her that the contact name was "Mom". FML

Today, my fiancée broke up with me over text message while I was away for work. She later posted photos of her and her new boyfriend on Facebook, while still wearing my engagement ring. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, saying I was immature for making gay jokes all the time. A few hours later, I got six texts and three calls from guys I didn't know. It turns out, she put my name and number on Craigslist as a gay man seeking a relationship. FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost four years was breaking up with me when she captioned an Instagram post saying, "Who else besides me is going into 2018 single?" I had already bought an engagement ring. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she suspected me of cheating. She thought I was cheating because she caught me sneaking out in the middle of the night. I was sneaking out to plan my proposal to her. FML

Today, while heading to the bathroom, I saw my girlfriend putting some lingerie under my bed. I stupidly thought it was for some sexy time later. Well, later on, she dramatically "found" the lingerie and broke up with me. Almost everyone believes her story and thinks I'm a dirty cheater. FML

Today, according to my girlfriend's instant messenger, which she left open on my laptop, I am her rough shag on the side while she searches for a guy who is husband material that her parents will approve of. I guess the engagement ring in my bag is going back to the shop. 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

that sucks OP! But it sounds like she doesn't deserve it. She should have checked with you before freaking out, a good relationship relays on trust. Keep your head high OP.

She's going to feel so bad when she finds out.. Guess you could use that to your advantage? ;)

That shows no trust; if she's asking about a girls name just because she's on your phone, then she mustn't trust you a whole lot, and for marriage to work there needs to be trust. But you could explain the whole situation to her and then she might feel stupid for not trusting you and she'll learn from that. :)

Sorry but I can understand OP's girl's reaction. I am one of those people who can become jealous or suspicious. She asked about a female contact in his phone, and OP refused to be honest with her. I would've had the same reaction. OP should've been honest to an extent, say that he's working on a surprise for his GF, that the female contact is the saleswoman, and that's all the info she's gonna get!! All of you spout about trust, but OP was obviously lying or covering something up. I'm sorry, but you totally deserved it. Next time, give your GF at least a part of the truth. You want her to trust you? Don't lie to her.

Because "part" of the truth is so easily doable OP: She.... Ummmm.... Sells engagement rings on craiglist, and I thought that was nice.... No no no, I didn't buy one from her Yeah. Totally legit. Besides, he didn't lie, he just didn't tell her who she was. If you're truly like that, you're overpossessive, paranoid, and you believe the guys you date are so dumb they can't even prepare a good excuse beforehand even though they're two-timing and don't want to be caught.

If OP would've given her part of the truth, he could've save himself some trouble. I'm happily married, have a perfectly happy marriage because my husband and I don't hide things from each other. If I saw a strange woman's number in his phone, I'd ask first. If he refused to tell me anything, I would behave the same way, I'd feel betrayed and wouldn't feel comfortable trusting him. OP is starting off his engagement by lying. Granted it may be ultimately for a good cause, there is never an OK reason to lie or hide things from your partner.

#200 How did OP lie?! He refused to tell. If he would have said anything other than "The woman's whose ring I'm buying for you!", he would have been lying! That's bull. Also bull is believe that "You're going out in that!?" is that same as "I don't think you should wear that.". Telling the truth is not the same as being an asshole about it. People confuse the two on purpose

sorry OP. You should have put her under a guys name in your phone. Wait... why is she going through your phone anyway?!?! That's a bigger problem.

YDI. What did you think she was going to do Now you're screwed unless you were smart enough to tell one of her friends in advance just in case something like this happened. I really feel sorry for you.
