AIO for dumping my boyfriend after he told everyone I wasn't good in bed?
So, I (24F) have been with my boyfriend Henry (26M) for about 2 years now, and things were generally good between us, or at least, I thought they were. We have a pretty solid group of close friends and family who hang out together regularly. But recently, something happened that made me rethink our whole relationship.
The other night, Henry and I went out with some of our friends and family for a casual get-together. We were having a good time, just chatting, laughing, and having drinks. Then, at some point in the conversation, Henry suddenly drops this bombshell — apparently, he’s been telling some of our friends and family that I “wasn’t good in bed anymore” and that our sex life had “taken a hit” recently.
I was shocked when I heard this. Not only was this something deeply personal, but it was also completely untrue. We’d had our usual ups and downs in the bedroom, like any couple, but nothing that would warrant this kind of public revelation. I felt humiliated. And it wasn't just a one-off comment; it was the way he spoke about it like it was some sort of major issue.
I pulled him aside and asked what the hell he was thinking. He got defensive, saying it wasn’t that big of a deal and that he was just being “honest” with people. I told him it was embarrassing and disrespectful, and that he shouldn’t be talking about our intimate life with other people like that. He apologized, but his tone made it seem like he didn’t fully understand why I was upset.
The next morning, I couldn’t get over it. I felt so hurt and betrayed by someone I trusted, and honestly, I couldn’t stop thinking about how he treated me in front of everyone. So, I broke up with him. I told him that I wasn’t going to be with someone who would disrespect me like that, especially when it came to something so private.
He got really mad. Like, genuinely furious. He started saying things like, “You’re overreacting,” and “It’s just sex, why are you making this such a big deal?” He accused me of being immature and throwing away a relationship over something “small.” But the more he talked, the more I realized that this wasn’t just about the comment — it was about how he saw me and how he treated me.
Now he’s telling everyone that i broke up with him over a “small misunderstanding,” and that I’m “too sensitive” about it. Some of our friends are taking his side, saying I shouldn’t have reacted that way, while others think he was completely out of line.
So, AIO for dumping him over this? Or was he just being disrespectful and I was right to end things?
