So I was dating my then girlfriend at the time for about 10 months. We’d obviously been talking for a little longer than that. From the beginning of our relationship we basically lived together on the weekends. Spending the night at each other’s houses from Friday night until Sunday night. We’d also see each other Thursday nights and text every night. The last month of our relationship was a little shaky.

She’d been looking another job for a while and I was trying to help her in her search. I actually found her the program that she’s currently enrolled in. We’d also talk about it over text every night.

So one Saturday we went out with a friend and came back and I played some video games. This was only the second time I played my Xbox in front of her. After a while she got upset and said that I love the game more than her. I didn’t really take that comment seriously because I’d tell her I love her every day but I stopped and hugged her but she said it was too late. She said she was stressed about her job related stuff and after I saw her get really upset I just turned it off but she was crying and decided to sleep in another room. At some point she came back in the room and the next morning was awkward. I didn’t even know how to react to her because I was surprised she got that upset. She ended up storming out of my house and said that I wasn’t there for her.

After she left I found out she texted her ex as soon as she got home. I never brought this up and I don’t think it would’ve made things better if I did. I texted her to see if she was alright and I apologized and said I was here for her. Admittedly I didn’t think I was the bad guy and did anything that egregious but I just told her sometimes I like doing my own thing but I still loved her. I never played video games in front of her again. We still spent the remaining weekends together in their entirety.

I felt bad because I made her upset. I just wanted to have fun on the Xbox for a little while after a long week and a night out. I apologized and never played video games in front of her again. But that was when she started talking to her ex and now she’s going back to him.

TLDR My girlfriend texted her ex after getting upset with me
