AITA for Not stopping my favuorite Sport for my ex.

Sorry If this Post is written badly, english Is Not my First language and my Auto correct Drives me Crazy.

So i met my now ex girlfirend in Training in Out Marksmann Club. We both shoot Air rifle, and .22 caliber on national Level. WE we’re togehter for about 6-7 months (please do Not brainrot this, it isnt funny). She Had pretty Bad Asbergers and ghostet me regularly 12-16 days. I thought Its normal because it was my First real relationship and she often Made me feel Like It was my fault. She randomly broke Up with me via Text (this realy broke my Heart because im from a disfunctional famyli and have ptsd from my childhood (Mom was a drauf addict and ive Seen Things i wouldnt Wish my wirst enemy to witness) and she was the First Person to ever Show me that i can Be Loved or cared for. After the breakup i switched Clubs and caried on and after winning a pretty important Match (where she was to) she texted me asking If i could please Stop Shooting because she fehlt realy degraded because the Guy she used to sleep with IS better than her in her Comfort Sport. Im Not going to Stop because i realy Love doing It and It helps keeping my mental health in check, but her Mom and some of Her friend chimed in asking If i could Just do It for her and all that… Am i realy the U reasonable As3hole for Not stopping for her Feelings?

  1. NTA. You are broken up, you need to both be adults and deal with the consequences; it sounds like you moved clubs already to give each other space.
    However – you are giving us a lot of context to make this girl look bad that has nothing to do with the central question. This looks to me like trawling for support and getting a kick out of internet randos saying bad stuff about your ex.

    Keep doing your hobby, you sound good at it and it helps you mentally.

    Block your ex. There is zero reason to stay in contact with her. It’s okay to make a clean break and just move on.

  3. NTA-She has no say in what you do or where you spend your time. You absolutely do not have to give up something that you love for her comfort. If she’s unhappy it’s on her to find a new place to practice the sport not you.

  4. NTA you are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm. It is okay to go low or no contact with someone who harms your mental health. Good luck with your sport!

  5. NTA.

    Firstly, don’t give up what you love for anyone, ever. I’ve seen it first hand with family how miserable that makes people and it’s honestly hard to watch.

    Secondly, she’s made that easier by being incredibly selfish. I’d personally love it if my girl could take me 1v1 in a round of golf lol, anything less is insecure.

    You shoot your shots, pal. (Awful pun, jail me).

  6. You did the right thing by switching clubs – that was nice of you. That is all you should be expected to do.

  7. NTA Life doesn’t work that way. No EX has any input into what you do after the relationship ends. Her Mom and friends should be helping her get through this instead of whatever this is.

  8. NTA. Nothing gives her the right to dictate your hobbies. Especially not after she broke up with you. You should tell anyone who asks you to stop that it’s not their or your ex’s business and you have your own reasons for continuing the sport. It’s unfair of them to ask you to sacrifice something for someone who is no longer in your life. If they keep harassing you, let the organization know (if possible). You have every right to enjoy your sport. Good luck!

  9. NTA she ended the relationship. If she doesn’t want to see you there, then she shouldn’t go. You have every right to continue your hobby.

  10. NTA…if she has a problem, she can go find another comfort sport. Don’t let the experience rattle you. Things will get better.
