So, my(28F) Boyfriend(30M) told me to go to a cafe so we could chat and have a little date, and I was excited because I wanted to tell him some good news. We met up and were having a good time, and I told him that I quit my old job because I was hired at Head Start, and I was to start on the 16th of this month. I felt that I was shining bright, and I thought he would get excited for me but all he did was have a deadpan face and told me in the coldest way “Congrats” I knew immediately something was wrong and I asked him. He told me that for the past weeks, he had been thinking about our relationship and how it feels monogamous and very much the same and that were better off ending our relationship. I was not shocked or surprised, and he didn’t like my reaction or when I said OK. He asked what was wrong with me and I told him that I was thinking of ways to break up with him.

He was shocked, and I then explained that I started to fall out of love with him the moment that he started listening to those alpha male podcasts, when he would body shame me (I am slim thick hourglass), how I should straighten my hair (2c/3a curly hair), how I should wear his favorite colors (white & pink I hate them), how I should give up on my dreams, and how I wanted to kill him after he made fun of me for going to sing happy birthday to my late brother ( I go to his grave to sing him happy birthday). He was wide-eyed and couldn’t find anything else to say I also told him that my landlord would like the key back since he needs it for his new tenant, he gave it back quickly because he’s afraid of him (don’t know why). I told him that I missed what we had before his disgusting attitude changed because of the podcast, and I also told him that I told his family and friends the reason for our breakup (so he doesn’t twist the story). When I got up to leave, he said to me that without him I won’t be ok I told him back that it was alright, it’s ok that I would be so much better without you. I left with my head held high and looking towards a new future. So, I advise to everyone please walk away from the toxicity and never look back.
