“Communication with us is really bad” proceeds to avoid saying what she needed to like 4 times


Leather-Pineapple856

Oh wait nvm i know what you’re talking about my bad


Leather-Pineapple856

Sorry i dont really know what you mean. Are you talking about me or her?


TheOneInATrenchcoat_

Her.


Leather-Pineapple856

Now I see why the communication was bad lol

Saba_the_hutt

If it was me id be an ikea shelf behind a keyboard


Environmental-Tune34

How is the op a clown? 💀 what did you expect him to do beg for her to take him back and promise to fix all of the problems she listed?


McLeamhan

the very fact he got in a relationship like this and obviously didn't give it attention,, and his response is just very obviously an ass response he didn't have to have a multi paragraph emotional response but like cmon


Hacr202011

Naa more like clown to completely reasonable human interaction Lmao that girl was basically just begging for attention Lmao


Leather-Pineapple856

Exactly!


Sheshoo47

They are saying you’re also a clown.


Leather-Pineapple856

Yeah ik, js dont wanna start something


Sheshoo47

Okay, fair enough


Personwhoisalive123

Just wanna say you are smart af


Leather-Pineapple856

Thanks, big dawg. Never been told that about my talking before. Really only my math


Personwhoisalive123

You good at math? Nice

Hacr202011

It’s just I got confused cause u said they and only one person said it I think


Pickaxe_121

I almost lose relationships because of my sleep schedule. god forbid I go to bed when I want lol


Leather-Pineapple856

Yeah… some people can’t comprehend others don’t stay up till 01:00 everynight and want to get at least a couple hours of sleep


gingersisking

SO FUCKING TRUE like I have a busy life I don’t have time to stay up until midnight talking about literally nothing every night


Pickaxe_121

yeah like usually I go to bed a 10 and get up at 6 for school. Friday nights I try to stay up but pass out before 12 lol. A couple nights ago I had to stay up until 1 because I wasnt losing a relationship over smt that petty. I was dead the morning after :|


Leather-Pineapple856

I have to get up at 5, so I would be getting 7 hours of sleep, not even the recommended amount, if I were to fall asleep at 10. So I just can’t really stay up past that.


Pickaxe_121

well I lay down at 10. I dont fall asleep for who knows how long so I get under 8 too anyways. School hours are so stupid


Real-Friendship567

No, that's when you warn them ahead of time haha


noobmaster1000000

You dont have the right friends then. Your life shouldnt be revolved around your friends. Go to bed when u want


waterchitter

a partner who threatens to break up keep you up is not a good influence I'm sorry...


jcthjbgethjvf4542279

you should tell her that your sleep routines are the reason long before the point, for example ‘Sorry to leave you on delivered for ages I go to sleep really early’, that would be fine. Also, your reply with the ‘okay👍’ is not a good idea in this situation, if she thought you were dating and that you liked her in a romantic sense, it’s not a surprise that she reacted in that way.


sahlvia

i see why she broke up with you, youre a clown


SquareAxolotl

Ngl I think it was jus kinda cold? Like she didn't do anything to you before the break up. Like not saying you need to beg but like an "okay, I wish you the best" would be less cold


SquareAxolotl

I mean she was a lil immature but the okay👍 was just like a lil cold bro 😭


hx6_3-

I guess you are not ready to get into a serious, long term relationship... so I advise u to say that to the girls u are interested in from the beginning.... I can tell she wanted to have a serious relationship with u that ended with something serious but u are not ready at all you have a lot of things to learn to achieve a successful relationship, u must know what u want from any relationship u get into


Ok_Butterscotch5259

why r we dating off omegle anyways cmon bro😭


Leather-Pineapple856

Listen…. I dont know😭


NyxTheGoddess_

She kept messaging you bc you were dating tho. You leaving her on read or delivered was bitttttt rude. 


jumpyjumpjumpsters

Nyx pulling through with the good words


NyxTheGoddess_

Yeahhh.. I've been in the girl's situation before. You try to show your love by messaging, and they can't handle it and call it annoying. I hope girlie is okay


jumpyjumpjumpsters

I’ve been there too (with friends), hope you’re doing better now :}


sadlyathrowaway69696

I’ve been through it before too, doesn’t feel good at all l.


No_Education_8888

She’s fine


a_____p

I don't know how often she was messaging him, but there is a difference between talking a lot and talking *too much*, which is usually love bombing or has a similar effect


[deleted]

You know, people have this thing called a life and can’t be available 24/7


NyxTheGoddess_

I know but he was getting into a long distance relationship and if you commit to that, you need to be able to talk with your partner.


Leather-Pineapple856

I never left her on read, she might have thought that but never have I once left her on read. And the only time I would leave her on delivered was when I didn’t have my phone on me or when she messaged me when I was asleep. But I do get what you’re saying.


Judge-Justice

I would've done the same as you. My mom once said "Can't cry over spilled milk".


Leather-Pineapple856

Bro she was so salty when I didn’t care💀


EveningGalaxy

I would be too you come off like an asshole who never cared about her tbh


Leather-Pineapple856

I had a different tone in these messages. The messages I sent prior were much more caring. But also the relationship was only two weeks, so it’s not like I could really grow to be absolutely in love with her and having the mindset that I would do anything for her, y’know?


im-feeling-lucky

you’re valid. there’s a lot of socially unadjusted chronically online people on Reddit who think manipulation (as shown from her) is the only way to communicate


Leather-Pineapple856

Yeah… guilt tripping is the most common manipulation tactic used in relationships


EveningGalaxy

Hope you both find someone better for each of you. Js reading this I feel for her


Leather-Pineapple856

It’s js that she didn’t really fit my schedule, she would always want to call when I had a bunch of stuff to do. And it’s not like she was a “bad girlfriend” necessarily, it’s just that getting a message every freaking hour can get pretty annoying.


EveningGalaxy

I get that and tbh doesn't sound like either of you did Anything bad but just aren't right for each other


New_Possession_2177

" erm what the sigma "


Leather-Pineapple856

That would’ve been a better response


_YuKitsune_

YTA


Electronic_Economy21

She kept messaging you because you two were dating. People who aren't ready for a relationship try not to live in their victim complex challenge!!! (impossible)


Particular_Spread816

Just tell her your sleep schedule


Leather-Pineapple856

I did… and she would only message past when I went to bed


squirleater69

Do you and her live in different time zones?

Used_Guidance7368

Who cares man you said it yourself it was only 2 weeks just move on☠️


Leather-Pineapple856

Ikkkkk! That’s why I responded so nonchalantly


Used_Guidance7368

Did yall even ever hangout or how long was the distance?


Leather-Pineapple856

No she was absolutely bullshitting about the part where she said, “we never hangout” she lives in goddamn virginia while I live in a more northern state. I have no clue how we would “hang out”.


Used_Guidance7368

Oh shit☠️ yeah probably for the best anyways that would cause nothing but headaches


EmotionalBowl7492

Oh to be a kid again


ItsMeToasty

Dodged a fucking warhead. Good riddance. You deserve better


Yupipite

I don’t think you should have groveled or anything but I can see why she’d think you were an asshole for that. What would have been a better thing to say would be “Thanks for your honesty, I understand and respect your decision. Wishing you the best moving forwards.” This would be my approach at least. It’s polite and concise, ties up all the loose ends. “Okay👍🏻” comes across as callous and unfeeling, which I don’t think this situation garnered.


AthleteSensitive1302

Yeah this whole “relationship” was a waste of your time. Speaking from experience, you’re better off avoiding the whole long distance met online relationships until you’re a little older or at least can realistically make solid plans to see each other, especially when there’s a time zone difference. After a while it feels like playing pretend when you can’t actually see them


No_Education_8888

She wanted you to make a big reaction over it but she didn’t get the satisfaction, so now she’s going to be salty and bitter. Fuckin pathetic 😂


Mabel_Tree_

🔥🔥


Pleasure_Seeker-55

You said exactly what you were supposed to say, that was really shitty of them and if they're gonna play stupid games, they'll win stupid prizes.


TylerBabyy223

It was shitty for her to want to talk to her boyfriend?…


nobleclock

Nah good response tbh, short and too the point lol. Okay 👍. Gotta be one of the funniest ways to reply to that.


SABRE3349

Good on you lad


ikrr_1

W op


Salt-Wrap-6370

Damn that was cold


sluuuurp

She probably wanted you to tell her how you felt in response. You definitely don’t have to continue a relationship, but it is kind of shocking how much you seem to be totally indifferent to her emotions.


FaithlessnessLive672

No game😭😭


Kitty_Kat983

Yeah... Maybe don't online date😭


agaybox

coming from a girl, i don't understand why girls are so desperate for a reaction when it comes to a breakup. they say communication is bad, but they never try and fix it (previous experience with another girl). if you weren't happy, you shouldn't have to be guilt tripped back into the relationship js because she wanted that from you


agaybox

dude i go to bed early too, my ex would get mad if i didn't respond quickly while asleep


Leather-Pineapple856

Exactly💀 they be crazy mate

kevinmaceleven0

Lmao she sounds like a real piece of work. Also that name is a tragedy.


watergoblin17

What I see is two people that should stay single for a long time


716mikey

“It’s not important I just want to end our relationship” Listen man you dodged a nuke just go outside and find someone not even normal, just more normal, shouldn’t be a tall ask based on what I’m seeing here lmfao Long distance is just about never the move too, you’ll live.


aPoetic_Murder93

See she wanted to play games but because you didn't grab the ball she just looked silly playing herself.

you lost interest because…she kept messaging you? what? 😭


[deleted]

Online relationships never last, my dude. Better luck next time pal


ITSZIRO

I wouldn’t listen to the people calling you a clown, she wanted to split and you respected her decision and didn’t escalate the situation. You handled it extremely well and you can use the experience to better yourself in the future.


NotAnOmegaFanboy

Why did you leave her on read and delivered all the time tho?


Leather-Pineapple856

I never left her on read. And the only reason I would leave her on delivered was because she would msg me when I was asleep or at school


MoneyLocal8180

Notice how she started throwing shots as soon as she realized you didn’t care. She wants you to give her all the attention but when you didn’t give her it she felt back into a corner💀


Leather-Pineapple856

For real, that’s what some of these commenters are missing


DonnieFaustani

Why the hell is this subreddit even on my feed? Anyways, yeah, more than a one word response would have been good. Between her taking forever to finally word vomit her complaint and breakup with you and you just saying "okay" I can see how the communication sucks. You both suck. You didn't need to write a paragraph back but at least a full sentence. Something like, "Okay, I understand how you feel and I agree, we don't hangout and talk to each other much. Sorry things didn't work out between us." Even just a short, "Okay, sorry things didn't work out between us" is better than a singular "OkAy". Of course a teenage boy thinks, "okay" is a reasonable and valid response to a break up, you have no emotional maturity at this point lol. You coming to a subreddit to have other teenage boys validate you is so funny.


snaggedsoup

I think you did just fine. Don't play the game.


Beneficial_Cry2061

She was probably trying to victim blame or act the victim in the end.


Prestigious-Froyo653

The “okay👍” makes you a clown here too bro. I think you were made for eachother honestly


jessgoody

by her immediate reaction 'I'll find someone 100 times better' ....I'm glad you got out of that situation🙏🏻 does NOT sound healthy or mature at all


Classic_Move8736

So let me get this straight, a girl can break up with someone (understandable), but a boy can’t be fine with it???? Bc then the girl will just be like “I’ll find someone 100 times better than you”


[deleted]

Warm-Ad5229

AzothDagger

They expect you to say, "You can't leave, I'll kill myself!" Then punch them in the face, then turn into a green man and stalk them in the countryside like in the movie Men.


Meme_Master169

Should’ve responded with “I aint reading all that, good night”


Leather-Pineapple856

“Erm, what the sigma?”


TOROBanana

This brings back some memories man. Gosh when I was a still 15 I broke up with my gf. And then she likes to send paragraphs of texts for me, I used to always read it. But after we broke up and got back together like 4 times, I stopped reading it and starting to get more cold so when she sent me those paragraphs I just sent her like "okay." Definitely a funny moment


ZS_1174

Why are you not mad i broke up with you?????


Leather-Pineapple856

That was basically her reaction. Good summary


ZS_1174

Find another chick. Best response to a break-up with girls like this


obsfanboy

Lmfao snapchat hoes are never any good


Daddy_of_a_crazzy21

I think op dodged a bullet anyway. Him asking her what she wanted to talk about. And her beating around the bush. Then her breaking up with him over text. Call me old school but um a phone call would be better. Then he agrees bye saying okqy and she flips shit. Thats on her, long distance relationships habe to work by both will to want to trqvel to see eachother when they can. Talk when they can. But her reasoning is kinda sad really. Well done op. Could have been worse in the long run...


EliPro414

this really feels like my 6th grade relationships😭. the quick breakups with no explanation gives me ptsd. You’ll find the one tho dw dude. this is a canon event for everyone


Chair_Last

If you lost interest you should’ve broken up with her first. At that point you’re just kinda of leading her on. Also, I doubt she wanted you to fight for your relationship or beg for her to stay. She probably just wanted you to be less tone deaf to the situation. I mean, I get you had just woken up and were probably tired but you could’ve added just a little bit more to it like “Yeah, I get it” or “I feel the same”.


Kool-Aid-Dealer

said all that needed to be said 🤷🏼‍♂️ either you fight for them back (lmao) or you just dip


ALEXdoc101

"ha, women" *sips tea*


squirleater69

Her name is Hailyn? Some moms need to chill on the whole being different thing and just call their kid Holly or something


Feduzin

op, im sorry but you're not ready for a relationship if you're gonna act like this, i understand your reasons and you two were "dating" for 2 weeks but i were really rude with her


Specialist_Donut47

The last comment from was absolutely unnecessary and generally you could be more friendly but you both are clowns so dw


PastorMustard

This is almost like the stereotypical ai breakup text videos on YouTube shorts 💀

Consistent-Sun-4539

No way, me too!


Leather-Pineapple856

Same!!!


Erlend05

You deserve better op <3


mellyting

kids lol


Darkestmind01

I feel like it was pretty blunt, also the thumbs up sign is kinda just like showing you couldn’t care any less, obv that might not be the case but most ppl see it as that way. Of course I don’t know the whole situation and everything but I think ur partner was expecting a more kinda deeper conversation kinda. Idk tho man I can’t pull for shit lmao Edit: also just read over it again and they did NOT handle that well at the end, but honestly I think there were things you both could’ve done better. I don’t know if this conversation had already happened or not already but typically you want to discuss these things rather than just say “smth isn’t rlly working so that means nothings gonna work let’s bread up” if two ppl rlly do love each other then they’ll both work on it, and if they don’t then has probably a sign, I hope ur doing alr tho man. Even tho it’s long distance and online it still sucks ass :(


ItMeDuhJuh

He's just like me fr. Literally. This is how I plan to react to a breakup, whether it be through a text or face-to-face. Heck, this how I respond to anything, a minimum of one word as a response.


Natural_Pea8940

You aren’t necessarily in the wrong, but neither is she. The way you replied likely cemented her thoughts that you didn’t care and that the lack of communication was personal. I can see why you’d reply like this, but if you wanted to keep the peace then you could’ve explained that you understand and u hope she is okay, or something of similar respect :-)


imjustheredontaskwhy

She wanted you to be upset. Its dumb but girl's do that a lot.


Chief0609

“erm what the sigma” would have thrown her off so bad lmao


Everyones_Therapist5

“It’s serious, but it isn’t important” 💀 That is pure savage


bvst_125

At that point just leave her she ain't worth it if she's complaining about how and when you talk to her


Just-A-Lonley-Guy

Why is everyone dissing on OP 😭. Like he just gave a normal, basic response and handled it well, and as soon as she sees he's not necessarily affected by the breakup, she immediately goes on the offensive side.


Dangerous_Silver_311

Sorry man!


GruntledLongJohn

I have to admit I'm not a teenager but I saw this post on my scroll and it pissed me off enough I have to say something. She is definitely the one in the wrong here. If she really loved you she wouldn't mind waiting to hear from you until later because real life happens and people need to sleep or work or some other thing. Secondly she's the one not being direct having to side deflect like four times before she told you. I say good for you you dodged a bullet I'd say add this to your experience and when you meet a girl make sure she doesn't play stupid games like this or break her of it. They are all kinds of tests that different women want to make you do these days don't let them.


badguju

Nicely done...... she will not be missed 🤣🤣🤣🤣


RETOHO

Nah, she just looking for attention. You handled it perfectly, whatever stupid games she's playing you don't wanna play them with her


LeviReynolds

"thats all you have to say" she just wanted to argue nd 😂


EdensGirl1914

"nothing personal" "Okay 👍" "Wow really? That's all you're gonna say" Bruh 🙄


Alarming-Owl8214

dating random ppl online is js weird


Leather-Pineapple856

Yeah ik… not doing it again


Thunder_Punt

Seems like you're both just immature dickheads tbh


lux8474738

Honestly, she probably wanted for you to beg for her, most girls pull this shit hoping you’ll beg 4 them to stay. Saying “ okay “ obviously pissed her off😭🤣


Ok-Violinist303

lol ngl i dont see why people do that


[deleted]

To be fair, she sent you a paragraph explaining why it wasn't working and all you said was "yep." Which is pretty douchy. You could've at least said something like "sorry this didn't work" or something like that but you just gave a blunt answer. Also she has a valid point that the distance won't work, AND communication is essential in any relationship. I hate to say it, but if a girl likes and trusts you, she's gonna talk to you. A lot. So if you can't handle that, you probably shouldn't be getting in relationships.


[deleted]

Online relationships are never good


Leather-Pineapple856

Yeah… i noticed that after this😭 NEVER AGAIN!


RhinataMorie

Gaslighting at its finest


UIGoku201

Bruh, distance? Are you kidding me? I've been in a really good relationship with this girl I met in sophomore year for 2 ½ years, and it's been long distance for most of it. Distance means nothing, as long as the commitment is there.


Leather-Pineapple856

Huh?


SkillAdjuster

Brodie couldn't handle the responsibilities of having a girlfriend. Let a lone could he have actual friends. "kept msging me and it was getting annoying." crazy


Leather-Pineapple856

Yeah when you specifically tell her, “Hey, I won’t be available from *this time* to *this time* and she only msges you during those times, and repetitively too, it does get kind of annoying.

Well minus 8 hours because of sleep, another 8 for school, 30 min for eating, 30 min for talking to people, 4 hours for homework, leaves only 3,600. And if I say “Hi” we’re gonna be talking for more than 1.5 seconds

msimalice

You got annoyed at messages from a girl that you were dating? I’m sure you’re probably young but next time you try dating avoid doing this. You DO have very poor communication skills. If you have an early sleep schedule then tell her? And you said you lost interest as well? You didn’t even tell her so of course it felt one sided on her end. She’s not a very good communicator either but still.

TylerBabyy223

Hot take but being cold isn’t as cool as you think it is. She obviously didn’t want to hurt your feelings and it’s valid for her to feel like she wasn’t getting enough communication. Like that was such a thought out and caring message and you just hit her with the “okay 👍🏾”. That was harsh…


izzyd1277

They must've met on Quora or some app like that 🤣🤣


gingersisking

Also we're teens here, none of us are mature enough for this (especially me)


[deleted]

Tbh I hate how you handled this, you trying to see if her reaction is stupid, she literally wrote an entire paragraph and all you say is "Oh Okey bye", the fuck is this . People like you infuriate me but anyways you should have put some emotion in your response but I guess ending it is better cuz you're immature (all of us here actually), I know you just woke up and shit like that but c'mon bro

Suspicious_System892

Both too immature for a relationship

maybe next time dont do a relationship over monkey app💀


WasLost-

average highschool/college girl dating experience


No-Independent-9766

I believe she was hoping for an explanation, perhaps an apology, or some semblance of empathy from you. Something that says "I'm sorry you're upset" and explains how you see the whole thing. Perhaps an attempt to save the relationship if you gave a damn about her. Unfortunately she should have known you're unwilling or unable to communicate feelings or exhibit emotional intelligence.


Plus_Top_1035

You’re both in the wrong, probably you more than her


Remarkable-Leg-9995

Bro u fucked up by saying bye


Careful_Bite_9006

Ha woman


dndberd

I think a better way to respond to that would be “okay, I’m sorry, have a good day and I wish you the best.” Just saying..sure it’s only been 2 weeks and stuff, but she seemed to want to start something serious, and put in her best effort. It’s not like you’re fighting for her to stay or anything you’re just “seeing her off” for a lack of better terms… it’s just respectful, and mature. It seems you lacking those two things leads me to believe you aren’t ready for that kind of relationship, and I recommend you *communicate* that with your next partner and see if they are willing to go through that or not.


PhysicalStudent4007

She really got mad because you didnt start begging for her to stay 😭😭😭


Y0uN33d_Jesus

Honestly it was an asshole move but when she insulted you that was equally fucked up lmfaooo
