I need to ask peoples honest opinions.

my partner went away on Sunday “with the boys” I wished him off well, hope he has a lovely time etc. been FaceTiming me, sending me pics etc. then yesterday a female friend may be flying over. I said I wasn’t very comfortable with this especially as she would be staying in the same apartment. He said he wasn’t sure if she even was yet she just said she may do. I looked on her story on instagram and she was already there, had been the whole time! Tagging him in pics etc. Iv broke up with him as the lies and the disrespect for me are too much. Am I being unreasonable or over reacting? He said I was and it’s just a friend and I’m controlling. But for me I can’t imagine he would ever allow me on holiday with a male staying in the same apartment?! There’s 3 men and her.

He lied therefore nothing he says can be trusted.

Yeah, I have to admit, when I read that a woman was going on holiday with three men and no other women, she sounded like a pick-me. Probably has internalised sexism and thinks attention from men is worth more than attention from women.

She's not like other girls!!! 🤣

All my friends growing up were guys since I was in nursery, went on holiday with male friends I’ve had since school and am still friends with them in my late 40’s and now their partners, I don’t think it’s fair saying that. My male friends got me through one of the hardest times of my life when my few female friends weren’t there for me. I definitely wasn’t a pick me, I just found relationships with guys easier at that time

If he respected you're relationship he wouldn't put it at risk by lying about this girl and accepting her behaviour... she sounds like a horror she is doing it deliberately... good on you for dumping his sad arse .

I think it depends how she knows them? She doesn’t seem to be friends with the OP at all and clearly doesn’t feel bad about the situation to be posting him on a quad bike with her etc. I’d feel terrible if I was her and I’d be messaging saying nothing going on etc. to reassure her and certainly wouldn’t be posting things to stir even more. There doesn’t seem to be much respect for the partner, even if they have split there are still feelings involved etc.

With a mixed sex friendship group we used to meet up. I guess it may have been easier to say he was away with the boys and if he had included a girl going would open the 'well I could come too then'? This would change the dynamics and just because one is a girl ot doesn't mean anything sexualmor to be worried about.

I understand though, especially when young, your mind works overtime and insecurities are so much more prevalent.

He should have told you, give him a chance to explain. Xx
