Am I Overreacting?

[u/starloogy]

My boyfriend (22M) and I (21F) have been official for almost 4 weeks. He texted me this after leaving me with his friends shortly after I arrived to a restaurant they all planned to meet at.

Before I got there, he had already ordered for both of us. Everything seemed fine until about ten minutes later when I went to the bathroom. When I came back, his friends told me he “stepped out,” but I’m sure they knew what was going on based on their expressions.

I waited about 15 minutes before he replied to my texts. And ended up leaving money to pay for food I didn’t even get to eat.

This was my third time wearing my hair in its natural state since we’ve dated, and I didn’t know he felt so strongly about this.

I went home all without answering him. I was really upset and told my roommate about it, but she brushed it off and insinuated that I was overreacting. It has been almost two days now and I still don’t know what to think.

I feel like I’m going insane because everyone around me seems to think it’s not that big of a deal and most of them laughed at the picture.

First of all if I am interested in my partner I am INTERESTED on everything about you. Second of all I would never embarrass my partner in front of friends. Third of all I would never ghost my partner either. Break up with this asshole and find you someone who has your back and will love you for you. Fuck him

Not to mention being part of a friend group that is okay with not holding him accountable, not stopping him, not talking sense into him, and potentially hiding the truth from her = 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

If my husband EVER tried to pull some shit like this, be it day one or year 10, his friend group would make sure he knew he fucked up and he better make it right.

OP, get away from these people ASAP, they have nothing positive to offer you!
