To end 1 month relationship over this tiny thing

or am I being dramatic?

Please be honest if im overreacting. Me and my boyfriend have been together officially for 6 weeks, it's going really well. Yesterday we went out for dinner and I drove us back to mine after. On the way back, he rolled down the window and threw his empty drink can out of my car. As soon as he rolled down the window i knew that was what he was going to and asked / begged him not to as I'm the one who's car it is and I don't want someone posting my car all over the local facebook group saying rubbish is being thrown out of it.

Also it gave me the ick. I find it a bit grim that he couldn't wait 10 mins till we got to my house to throw his rubbish away.

LTB. No redeeming feature makes up for him being antisocial (litter) and disrespectful (ignoring you).

I'd end it over that, no question. Someone who would do this just doesn't have the level of consideration for others and for society that I'd be looking for in a partner.

I’d have stopped the car and told him to get out and pick that can up and then driven off when he got out and left him 🤬

Ugh no. If he is prepared to do this then I would worry about how lazy, selfish and lawless he would be in other areas of life!

6 weeks is not a relationship. He's a dirty chavvy slob. Dump.

Iamthemoom · 19/12/2025 17:10

LTB. No question. That would give me rage not the ick. Anyone who cares so little about the environment and wild life let alone your reputation if it was posted online, needs dumping immediately.

Yep - put him in the bin

🤮🤮🤮

Yep, get rid.

Btowngirl · 19/12/2025 17:09

It would be enough for me to end it I think. Although I can imagine him saying he had been broken up with due to littering and it sounding a bit wild. Have you addressed it with him & what did he say? That would be very telling.

Thaimonstera · 19/12/2025 17:08

Yanbu. What kind of arsehole thinks it’s ok to do that?!

BatshitIsTheOnlyExplanation · 19/12/2025 17:08

So he also ignored your request not to chuck litter?

I'd get rid.

Massive red flag IMO

I would end the relationship over this personally!
