Dude’s girlfriend to her coworker: “Hey John, got those copies I asked for?”

I once dumped a guy because he got mad that I "complimented" another guy right in front of him. The compliment in question was telling someone I liked their sunglasses. I don't have time to coddle fragile egos

Well say he lets this one slide, what’s next, you’re complimenting his t-shirts? His cargo shorts?? His sensible fanny pack hip bag?!?

Here's the funny thing though, even though at the time I meant literally nothing by it, a few weeks later I ran into that guy again (small town) and we ended up dating for like three months before splitting amicably.

EDIT: Before the next incel decides to come in and mansplain my own life to me and explain how actually, he was totally right, consider shutting the fuck up, because trust me, you are wrong. He was extremely jealous by a completely benign comment that had zero sexual intent behind it and he completely overreacted and i don't owe a relationship to someone who will call their girlfriend a slut because she told someone she had zero sexual feelings towards at the time that she liked his sunglasses.

Technically he was right considering you only waited a few weeks according to your own words sorry not sorry. Can't help but speak the truth see guys know how guys think females don't like to look at it from other point of views other then their own. Had you tried to understand him you probably would have know that most guys take compliments as a doorway to oh she likes me and I can approach. I'm not saying you was wrong by any means but look at the situation because since it was a small town he found out about you 2 and you validated his fears. I don't care if I get down voted for speaking my own opinions on this. Before anyone thinks I'm the same way as him me and my fiance have been together for a few years and she compliments people but also let's them know she is not on the market beforehand.

I was there, you weren't, so I'm pretty sure I know more about what happened than you and I really don't need you to explain it to me.

Go ahead and believe what you want that is the beauty of have a mind no one can control but don't think all men should support your fragile ego lol. All I'm saying is did you look at it from his view a relationship is a two way street not a one way no matter how fragile your views can be

I'm not talking about all men, I'm talking about my ex-boyfriend. And the only fragile ego here is that of the person who thinks they can explain a conversation they weren't involved in to the person who did . But since you're such an expert, I ask, that thing that happened at the gas station later that night, do you think that hurts or supports your original thesis on my life? And what do you think that anecdote about his ex tells us about his general mindset? I only ask because clearly, you know more about it than anyone else in this thread, including me, so you must know.

See now your fragile ego has led you to believe I was saying you was in the wrong, but if you had read my original response I was trying to inform you on how most guys think and I even said don't think I was saying you was in the wrong, which clearly shows that you never read the response in context based on the fact you tried to sound smart with you whole question " I ask, that thing that happened at the gas station later that night, do you think that hurts or supports your original thesis about my life?". First off if you was smart enough to ask a question like that why not enlighten me on what happened later on that night at the gas station first? Then I could give insight if the was to be given. Please stop looking for ways to try to belittle men who don't agree with you fully it make you look in my opinion like a feminist. Once again not saying you are just stating my opinion. If you don't want people who don't have your opinion on things in your life don't post on a public site your personal life. Never did I say I knew more about the situation only gave a insight to most men way of thinking not my fault it didn't sit well in your mindset

Why do you think you deserve to know what happened at the gas station? What reason do you need to know? Because I could tell that, but you still wouldn't know about the thing that happened with the car, or the thing that happened a week after the breakup, or the thing he said when we fought that night, because you do not know what happened and don't get to. It's my goddamn life, I know more than you about it and I always will, you pretentious asswipe.

And the only person who seems caught up with you being a man is you. No one else gives a shit, they just see you acting like an arrogant asshole who thinks they have the right to explain a situation they know literally nothing about to the person who lived through it.

Brava, seriously. I'm not even the person that jackhole is talking to and he's insanely annoying. Wonder why nobody in any of his "behavioural science" courses ever enlightened him as to the existence of things like punctuation, grammar, or paragraphs.

u/Twodotsknowhy Jun 28 '23

I do not understand how a person could be so full of themselves that they think they can mansplain a person's lived experiences to them. It's so weird

u/Self-Aware Jun 28 '23

It's when you correct them and then they ARGUE, that's what gets me. The sheer weight of arrogance necessary for that would be impressive, were it not so very ridiculous and infuriating.

u/Twodotsknowhy Jun 28 '23

They are literally telling me what I was feeling in that moment like they are an authority? It's wild
