I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.
I was with a guy for four and a half years, and we were living in his childhood home. For over a year, I had been communicating that I felt lonely and that I needed more from our relationship… at the very least, actual dates, which were very rare. We argued often. Like… at least once a week or two.
At the beginning of November, we decided to take a break. Another argument during the holidays led me to decide to officially end things in early January. 3 weeks later, I moved out and into a small one-bedroom apartment.
For context, my family lives three hours away, so they’re not easily available to help me. I still have a lot of things at my ex’s house, but I clearly told him we would go pick up the rest during the first week of March.
Now it’s mid-February, and out of curiosity, I decided to see what dating apps look like. To be clear, I don’t even want to go on dates right now.
However… his best friend saw my profile and told my ex’s sister-in-law. She messaged me saying it’s totally fine that I move on, but then accused me of being disrespectful toward her brother because I’m on dating apps while I still have things at his house (which I’m picking up in two weeks).
So now I’m lying awake wondering… AITAH?
