Today, I got a text saying I was "banned" from a volunteer group by the vice chair. Why? Because him dumping me the night before and leaving me in the bar alone drunk and crying wasn't enough for him, apparently. FML

Hello all, OP here. This took place over a year ago, but this is the first time I'm comfortable about posting it. I met this guy through work (my first serious boyfriend) and had been dating for four months when he first mentioned the group and encouraged me to volunteer. I didn’t know his position in it until a year later, when this happens. The main group is small, most of whom are on the board and are close-knit friends. After a long meeting, six of us go out for drinks together. The others had broken off into their own conversations and I asked my then-boyfriend if he wanted to meet more of my friends, he ignores me, I ask him why he’s being grumpy, he says “We’re done” and walks away. (He told me later that he felt that conversation should’ve been had at a different time and he felt I was nagging him.) The other four tell me that “he’s only angry/drunk, he didn’t mean it, give him a couple weeks to cool off,”etc. and told me to go away since I was ruining their good time. My ex leaves the second his tab is paid. A female volunteer/friend pitied me enough to drive me home, since I lived the furthest out and drove alone. The next day at work, I get a text from him saying I’m "no longer welcome" at the group. I texted the others about this and all I get is “since he requested it, I have to honor it”. I get ahold of the chairman (who knew nothing about the ban) and he told me that he’d talk to his vice chair. Nothing follows. I wanted to do something more about it, but it wasn’t worth the headache. If anything I wanted to see if there was a legitimate reason or him being a spiteful dick. I want to say that this was a one-time reaction, but that’d be a lie. It was like I was dating a stereotypical pregnant woman. Now, I’m prepping for graduation from college and am working too much for me to consider dating someone now. It wouldn’t be fair to the guy I date.

Damn, that's really the worst type of person. But be glad he's out of you your life.

What an ass. At least you are freed from the confines of his dictatorship. Never date a co-worker in my opinion. I tried once and I regret it.

Pouring salt in an open wound. What a pitiful jerk. You're much better without that in your life, find someone who appreciates you and find another group to join.

What an ass! You just need to concentrate on perfecting yourself and someone will find you :) good luck!

He's too chicken to face you again. What a weenie.

Unbelievable. So you were dating a year and 4 months and that is how he does it? Wow. And it is an abuse of his power as well to ban you from the group. Awful - you deserve so so much better.

The guy is a douche but those friends were also inconsiderate.. I hope you also lost communication with them

You go OP! Sounds like you've got some good things going as of now. It's awesome that you're doing your own thing. :)

It was thankfully only four months #49, not a year and four months.

Nope, #49 was right. I dated this guy for 16 months. At four months was when he introduced me to the group

All but one: the one who drove me home. She and I chatted off and on until she moved to Oregon several months later. They were his friends mostly anyway.

What kind of group has such a lofty title like vice-chairman and so few members – all merely friends? Or is that prying too much?

If he's that sensitive to let something like that encourage him to break up with you, he wasn't worth your time anyways.

I'm sorry he broke up with you like that, especially since it didn't sound like he had a reason. I'm glad life is going well for you. If you do decide to start dating again, I hope you find someone worth your time. He'll get his karma, soon!

Post something on-line about him having a small dick and he was afraid you'd tell - revenge is a dish best served cold...

That'd do nothing but make OP look like an 8-year-old. Try harder.

That's even more childish than that douche bag had been. She's better off if she doesn't waste anymore energy etc on him and do what she is/has been and focusing herself on what's important to her and forgetting about that jerk. He's in her rear view mirror and she should never look back for him. Keep going the route you are, Op! You're doing a great job and eventually when you are ready and in a position in your life when you can accommodate someone else, you'll find the right one (or at least a better guy)!!!! Kudos for being mature about it all too!

sounds like a total dick to me you should just be glad you won't have to deal with him anymore

Regardless of the reason for breaking up, dumping someone while they're drunk and leaving them alone is a terrible thing to do. Hopefully you'll find another group and a better guy.

I got dumped by a volunteer organization I'd been with for six years because I found it difficult to contain my shock when my cousin, who had been my best friend and slept with my husband, joined and I asked her "wasn't my husband enough?" People can suck, but on the upside once you know that you can make room for people who don't x

I got terminated from my volunteering from a hospital after 3 years because I used the bus for transport and the buses went on strike for a week but my chair told me its fine that I can wait until the strike is over. One week later a day before my scheduled day to come in, I get a letter for termination for being absent far too long. They wanted me to pay for membership and everything again if I wanted to return..
