He Wants To Leave His Girlfriend After Learning She Only Dated Him Out Of Obligation And Felt Like She Owed Him Something

No one ever wants to learn that their partner “settled” or felt obligated to date them. But sadly, this 31-year-old guy just found out that his girlfriend actually did.

His girlfriend is 28-years-old, and they’ve been together for over a year now. Yet it was only recently that he started to think she didn’t seem very happy in their relationship.

So, he attempted to talk to his girlfriend, and she ultimately admitted the true reason why she began going out with him in the first place.

Apparently, because he helped her through a rough patch once, his girlfriend felt like she “owed” him something and agreed to date him.

According to him, his girlfriend has made previous comments about how he was the “best man” she’d ever been with. But given her dating history, he didn’t find that to be a huge compliment.

“Her exes abused her, so that isn’t a high bar, to be clear,” he said.

And during their most recent discussion, he discovered that his girlfriend had basically just been “tolerating” him over the past year.

The worst part? It’s not like he and his girlfriend got into an argument where she said these things and possibly didn’t mean them.

“This didn’t come off of a fight or nothing, so it isn’t like she said this out of emotion or to twist the knife on some issue we were having,” he explained.

That’s why he brought up the idea of them just breaking up, especially if his girlfriend wasn’t invested in their relationship.

Well, as soon as she said that, her tune changed out of the blue, and she didn’t want to split up.

She suddenly switched the story and claimed that, while they might’ve begun dating out of “obligation,” her feelings grew, and their relationship turned into “something real.”

“It’s such a load of [garbage],” he stated.

All of this came out a few days ago, and he hasn’t spoken to his girlfriend ever since. He tried to take some time to process the whole situation.

Regardless, she won’t stop calling and texting him, begging him to talk.

“We’ve got nothing to talk about. She said her piece,” he vented.

Now, he also plans to leave her after discovering she was lying to him this entire time, and he’s wondering if that’s justified or not.

Is it okay for relationships to start this way, or is their romance forever tainted? Would you be able to remain with your partner or not?
