My Boyfriend Doesn’t Know I’m Leaving Him Tomorrow [Reddit Story]: Should I Leave Him?

A story recently went viral on social media about a woman considering leaving her partner after he called her an offensive name. The story sparked a flood of reactions, so I wanted to break down what happened and how others reacted to it. I will also share my personal opinion and some advice.

The story follows a woman who went grocery shopping with her boyfriend of 2 years. He was slow getting ready and insisted on wandering the aisles despite the closing time approaching.

She got frustrated when he suddenly rushed her, and he called her a “stupid bee” in the middle of the store.

Understandably upset, the woman cried and finished shopping alone. Her boyfriend doubled down, saying, “This is why I have to talk to you like that.

She paid and left without a word. He gave no apology. Now, she plans to move out, unbeknownst to him.

What Did Commenters Think?

Based on over 100 comments from a social media post, approximately 67% supported the woman leaving her boyfriend after this fight. Many quoted his cruel justification as evidence he would continue disrespecting her.

For example, one user wrote: “That’s why I have to talk to you like that’ yeah, he won’t apologize. Who knows where that came from, but I wouldn’t put up with it either.

However, 33% thought she should communicate with him or give him another chance since this was supposedly their first dispute after 2 pleasant years together.

One dissenting commenter offered: “People give up too fast, communication!! Speak to him about it so that then you both understand where you are.

My Thoughts and Advice

No one deserves name-calling from a loved one – even if not profanity. If this was indeed an anomalous event, I would advise the woman to have a serious discussion with her boyfriend.

  • Explain how much his language hurt you. Gauge his reaction.
  • Does he seem genuinely remorseful?
  • Does he take responsibility?
  • Or does he get defensive or flip the blame?

That will tell you if the relationship is worth salvaging.

Additionally, reflect deeply on your dynamic. Have there been any other red flags – big or small? Listen to your instincts.

Leaving immediately is not an overreaction if this incident confirmed deeper doubts. You deserve respect.

That said, some couples can heal from hurtful words through open communication, counseling, etc. If you believe the relationship is salvageable, set firm boundaries. Make it clear certain behavior will not be tolerated again.

You know the details we don’t. Trust your judgment, and don’t stay with someone who regularly makes you feel worthless or unsafe.

Your dignity matters more than any partner. Wishing you clarity and confidence as you navigate this challenge.
