My [23F] BF [24M] of 5 years left me at a rest stop in the middle of nowhere

quote:

Sorry for bad formatting: mobile. Rushed story because I have to get this up before BF returns home

Well, the title is as crazy as it seems. Yes, I’m still in shock. So let’s give a run down of the events that occurred this past wednesday. I want to preface this by saying my boyfriend HATES road trips and more importantly, hates road trips that involve seeing his parents.

Recently, one of his cousins had gotten engaged and we were invited to their engagement party. Considering they live about a four hour drive away, I convinced my boyfriend it would be worth the drive to celebrate with his distance family, considering he probably wouldn’t have to do much talking to his more immediate family. It ended up taking quite a bit of convincing to go, but ultimately he decided that it would be a fun trip, and it was only for a few days, so why not. He insisted on driving the whole way, which I told him NUMEROUS time I would either drive, or at least split it, but he insisted on him driving, so I agreed.

The morning we were leaving was just a poo poo show from the moment it started. As soon as we woke up, my boyfriend was in probably the worst mood I had ever seen him in. He was angrily slamming doors, giving me snarky comments and mumbling under his breath. I also want to say that while I did convince him to go on this trip, I made sure he knew it was his decision and I wouldn’t be angry if he decided he didn’t want to do it. His comments that morning had made it seem like I had forced him into everything and that I always got my way.

When we made it through the morning, we finally hit the road and that’s when he’ll broke loose. My boyfriend was driving like a maniac, cutting people off and yelling at other drivers through his open window. He was going 15 over the speed limit and ultimately making me extremely carsick and worried. Finally, when we reached a lesser populated road, about two and a half hours into the drive, I asked if we could stop at a rest stop. 1. to give my boyfriend some time to cool down and 2. because I really needed to pee.

I didn’t think this would be a problem, but for some reason, this request set him off and he began to yell at me for being irresponsible, how he was the one driving and how I made him go on this trip so I shouldn’t be making requests, etc. Really, this isn’t the point of the story. He eventually did stop at a rest stop with a lot of pleading on my end. I was relieved to finally get out of the car.

After using the bathroom, I exited the building and looked around for my boyfriend’s car which was originally parked in the middle of the parking lot. It’s a bright red car, very hard to miss, so when so didn’t see it at first, my immediate thought was that he was just driving around while he waited for me to be done. Except, five minutes of waiting very quickly turned into twenty, which at that point I had realized he had completely left me there. I was forced to call my sister, who luckily lived just under an hour away, to pick me up and drive me home.

When I got home, my phone had been dead as my sister drove, so I learned my boyfriend had driven to his family after all, and had also left me 16 missed calls and 3 voicemails, along with 7 texts (some very long paragraphs) saying how apologetic and sorry he was and how he’s a terrible boyfriend. He has been gone since Wednesday, but I haven’t answered any of his texts or calls. He seems genuinely extremely apologetic which ultimately confuses me the most.

If he was so apologetic, why did he do it in he first place? I don’t know what I’m going to do when he gets home, I can’t even begin to imagine what I could say to him when we talk it out because my biggest fear is that another outburst like this will happen.

TL;DR: my boyfriend of 5 years and I got into an argument on a road trip, I asked him to stop at a rest stop to use the bathroom, and when he finally stopped he left me stranded and my sister had to pick me up. Now he’s been calling me and is extremely remorseful about everything.

Literally dumped in the middle of nowhere and never came back to find me! I want to leave but he's really really sorry! What do, reddit?

I side with noone. They deserve each other. :colbert:

Ok maybe a tad more on his side but really.....

I wonder what the hell she bought, even the current top of the link gfx card, a 1080ti, is around 750-900 USD. Still, if bf won't give you his old card just take the new one back and use it yourself. Sure, it's lovely to ask for a gift back, but it's even more lovely of him to not give her his old one.

Also, funeral girlfriend is a fun story to dig up - but does anyone have a link to the gf who demands to have her rear end eaten every night so she can sleep?

Okay, I am not excusing this guy, but the lady kinda set off my pet peeve.

"I talked him into it, but I made sure he knew it was his decision!" Yeah or maybe you argued with him until he caved because it seemed easier? You admitted it took a ton of convincing, maybe consider it wasn't a yes from the heart but a yes from exhaustion.

His everything after that was completely crap, though.

i think the buried lede (sp?) is that she doesn't think she could use her phone w/ him home to post.

it should be pretty easy to slowly type something out over the course of an evening... unless your abusive partner insists on always reading your texts/screen

Yeah that whole "I had to convince him but it's totally his own decision!" is such a bullshit thing in a relationship. I've been 'talked' into things before and been a bitch the whole time because I didn't want to do it. Getting 'convinced' to drive for four hours when you hate driving and your family might be enough to trigger a dramatic dick move from someone who's been 'convinced' a lot of times before, because there's no way she doesn't pull this poo poo a lot over a five year long relationship.

She wants it up before she gets home so she knows how she should act when he arrives, not because he's going to prevent her from posting. Him stranding her in the middle of nowhere is the abuse red flag. Not every lede is buried.

Yes, that is abusive - thought that went w/o saying. There can be buried ledes in juicy stories, like when the NYT casually mentioned there’s ufo parts in a warehouse in Nevada after showing a video of a ufo

I was commenting, on the post above mine, and also referring to the comments on reddit, where the decision was defended by some

and then generally, on this attitude, which I previously commented on as an extension of the corruption of the idea "not everyone can be a firefighter and that's okay" into "no non-overtly-negative action can ever be judged as worse or not as praiseworthy than another, more-positive action"

this concludes the conceptual breakdown of my recent comments in this, the thread for commenting on things posted on the reddit subforum r/relationships

I'm married and don't even spend that much on a birthday present for my wife, nor does she for my birthday. That's "sit down and discuss it" money.

And we know that they're not rich because otherwise she wouldn't give a gently caress about the hand-me-down card and she wouldn't have had to save up for it

The buried lede in this story is that they're bad with money types and make the kinds of poor choices that BFC would lose its poo poo over

that is also pretty ridiculous if they were in/just out of college and not independently wealthy but even then it's not quite the same. diamond earrings at least are something you can use for the rest of your life and also getting a girl diamond anythings is kind of a "i am entwined with you and want this to relationship to continue" signifier

this is like, fuckin, i dunno, buying your new girlfriend a $1200 bottle of perfume or something.

My husband [32M] wants to quit his job now that I make a decent living. I [29F] had to work even while studying[new] (self.relationships)

quote:

My husband is a simple guy who means well for the most part however he was spoiled rotten by his parents and had very much a centralized "me" mindset where everything revolved around him and how things benefited him.

We worked through most of that and got married last year.

One of the hurdles we had to overcome was my desire to go back to university. At that point he felt I already had a degree and didnt understand why I wanted to do this.

I dont want this post to be too long however I've always had a direct career pathway and this was my dream. I felt I could do this. Work part time and put myself through my studies

He didnt agree with it but was okay with me returning to study under the condition that I continued to contribute/pay half of the household expenses - groceries/Bill's.

I lucked out in that my old boss loved me and wanted me to get my advance/2nd degree, they offered me a weekend job at amazing "over time" rates (working sat and sun paid similar to working 4 weekdays)

It was still incredibly stressful working weekends and studying full time for 4 years. I hardly had any time for myself, i worked 6-7 days a week over uni breaks but I managed and I survived

I graduated few months ago and I now make 3x what we use to make combined. It's great. We can afford finer things now and I'm happy to share this with my husband.

Last month George approached me and revealed hed like to quit his job. He hates his job and he doesn't think we need his salary anymore.

It's true his salary doesn't mean much to us anymore outside of maybe his own fun money.

However I dont feel comfortable taking on the burden of financially supporting us when he had such little faith in me before.

He expected me contribute equally while I was studying an incredibly difficult degree. This meant many many sleepless nights.

Yes he was emotionally supportive but he didnt help financially and he could have. He could have supported us financincially to reduce my stress at the time but he didnt want that. He wanted us to carry our own financial burden

I find it hypocritical that now that it suits him, he wants to quit his job.

He doesn't even have an idea of what he wants to do. He wants to basically take a gap year to decide what he wants as he feels exhausted.

Again, I find this insulting given I'm the one who had to work my rear end off for 4 years

Hes trying to guilt trip me by talking about how much he hates his job and basically begging me to let him quit his job and I really dont know what to do

Part of me feels guilty as I want him to go find what makes him happy and I dont want him to be stuck in a job he hates. However the other part of me really resents him and how handled my situation. We had been together for 3 years when I decided to return to uni and were living together so although we weren't married we were still serious and committed.

How do I navigate this ? Any advice would be appreciated

Tl;dr: my husband wants to quit his job now that I make great money. However he didnt give me that luxury when I was studying full time

Perfume is an odd one but there are a lot of luxury goods which stay good essentially forever. Gems are a gimme, but the same is true of, for example, high-quality riding gear or a wardrobe's worth of properly-sized cedar shoe inserts.

IIRC I don't think his question was "how do I move past this and forgive her," it was "my wife is telling me not to come home because she wants time to kick her mom out of the house before I physically hurt her and I'm typing this because I'm mad"

but maybe I just internalized how I thought the story should have gone
