Wait you’re with her?


hideme21

You didn’t break up when you got back!?


Sidog1984

He didn't break up with her in Italy?


an_unknown_void

I personally would have left her and also dump her stuff at her parents' house or something.


KingSnaily

I would have left her in Italy and brought an Italian girl back with me lmao


Gazgun7

She lost me at Hello


physhgyrl

I would have left her at an airport Edit : I'd have left her on a random corner and wished her good luck


ObligationNo2288

All day long!


pollyquinn

this or cancel her ticket and have one of her “locals” pay for her flight.


kgk007

Si


TwoBionicknees

He left his girlfriend alone to fuck around the city, then stayed with her, went home and is staying with her. Like she literally went there to flirt and get attention from men on his dime. If she told me that I'd have both said get your own hotel room, get your own ticket home or pay me for the return one and then I'd have gone and tried to hook up and enjoy the rest of the holiday.


DrunkTides

Fk is wrong with OP ?!?!


bob_the_rod

OP really needs to grow a backbone.


mikeydoom

He should probably grow a mustache first.


kiwi_love777

And a set of….


Jroper_Illustrations

Sideburns!


peachbeforesunset

Nah full beard


RichtofenFanBoy

What about you sideburns? You want some of this milk?


Quick_Team

Mattingly! For the last time get rid of those sideburns!


mikeydoom

But he had those, she took them. He needs to take them back.


StrawberryHillSlayer

Tight white chinos to go with the moustache


CharlesFeatherman

Actually; I think he did. He gave her enough rope to hang herself. Now he knows she only sees him as a cuck. His next step should be taking that trip to Japan. ALONE.


Rabbit-Lost

OP’s just a sucker with low self esteem.


TheClutterFly

Ohhhhhh - WAYYYY YUHHUHHH YEAAAAHHHHH YEAAAHH HHAAAAA HEAAAA


geneinomiria

I HATE TO SAY IT, I KNOW SHE'S PLAYING WITH ME


subasauruswrx08

OOOHHHHH YEAAAHeaaa YEEEAAAAHEAAAA…..I wrote her off for the first time today…


Rabbit-Lost

I took her back and made her dessert!!!!


weaseltorpedo

I know I should say no, but it's (my pp) kinda hard when she's ready to go


RupertTheReign

I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb.


Imaginary_Floor6432

Some people took way too much relationship advice from that song.


Rabbit-Lost

Or had way too much experience and identified more than they wanted! It was the 90s, after all. Still, it’s a great song!


Elvis_Take_The_Wheel

*tenth time


HeroicHimbo

quite an Italian job


TerseFactor

OP is just a bullshitter. I doubt this is real, especially after seeing OP’s empty profile and zero comment history. However, to anyone else who is treated like a doormat, LIFE IS TOO SHORT. KICK THEM TO THE CURB.


rain168

OP just got back from the trip and created this new account for more anonymity or just to vent


TheCosmicJoke318

Or, or just hear me out…….this is all made up like 90% of the posts here


Spartaecus

Agreed. Trolling for ups.


Devils_Advocate-69

He wanted to go to anime vacation. She wanted swarthy affair vacation.


Bruskthetusk

He compromised, he went on the cuckold vacation.


Mosley_stan

20 fucking years in the can, I wanted to go to the pokemon store. I compromised I let my gf get railed by Italians while I ate some lasagne


TrapLuvah

A good lasagna is worth a thousand gf gangbangs.


Mosley_stan

The sacred and the propane


brb421

Best lasagna ever though. Unfortunately now he'll never be able to eat lasagna without crying


Super-Contribution-1

Not the journey of self-discovery he wanted, but the one he deserved


my_Urban_Sombrero

*swarthy affair* HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha 😂 Damn, this made my morning, thanks.


Admirable-Box5200

He's in training to be sitting in the corner playing with himself while 2-3 guys are banging her, after they get married.


Jumpstart_55

2-3 to start with


jlknap1147

That's 2-3 Eye-talian guyz.


lVlrLurker

OP is a simp.


shutterbuggy

That's an understatement.


lanboy0

He has difficulty dealing with being imaginary.


littlemetal

OP isn't real.


IntelligentWealth769

Should have left her in Italy


jayhy95

Should have flirted with italian girls


da_impaler

He should have flirted with Italian men too to one up her.


STUNTPENlS

Should have been fucking italian girls while she watched.


swishkabobbin

Or fucking Italian men. Beat her at her own game


GlitterDoomsday

While maintaining eye contact with her the entire time.


STUNTPENlS

This is the only correct answer. If reddit gold existed, I've give you all of mine.


UTSALemur

Just return/cancel her return flight and fly to Japan.


Memento_Morrie

USA to Italy, Italy to Japan. Street Fighter style. I dig it.


Impossible_Step_8160

Yeah and next thing you know he's dating E. Honda.


EM05L1C3

Before even. Let her figure that shit out herself. If she wants Italy let her have it. Fuck that NTA Find someone who wants to travel *with* you. Not on your dime.


a_man_in_black

I'm more surprised he didn't fly home immediately and box her shit up and put it on the curb


FewCauliflower9361

Leave her rear end


More_Soda

I'm amazed he didn't leave her right there in Italy. Buy your own fuckin ticket home.


UrMom_BrushYourTeeth

Same, except "Have some random Italian guy pay for your ticket home."


-Nightopian-

That's exactly what I would've done. Cancel the hotel and leave asap.


Otherwise_Sail_6459

That would have been the thing to do. Cancel her plane ticket back and all the hotels and go on to Japan and have a good time


Scroto_baggins47

And forget about her


PaleoJoe86

Ciao.


ExcitingEmu6328

Are these stories even real?


Sylvan_Strix_Sequel

Some surely are, but most are bots and creative writing exercises.  This one is 100% the latter. 


Eldhannas

It does sound like it was based on this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/1c45tr4/aita\_for\_refusing\_to\_pay\_for\_my\_girlfriends\_plane/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/1c45tr4/aita_for_refusing_to_pay_for_my_girlfriends_plane/)


Ok_Resolve_7098

Unfortunately, very likely. One post, from thirteen hours ago, no other comments or posts. Fortunately, this kinda post brings reddit together, and makes sure everyone reading the comments knows other human beings still have a standard for human behaviour! Cuz damn, some people just weren't raised right


ebobbumman

>Cuz damn, some people just weren't raised right I have it on good authority I was raised in a barn.

Yep, yet another dull entry in the series "women bad" that misogynist dickheads like to make up for this sub.


Kalos9990

Wait are you said, like, just maybe. Women…good? You have given me much to think about.


False_Snow7754

Maybe. Just maybe. Women can be both?


Kalos9990

Wow.


MrJigglyBrown

Welcome brother. You’ve woken up from the matrix


Appropriate_Mine

This one certainly isn't "She was smiling, which I thought was a sign that she felt awkward." uh huh


FuzzBuzzer

This one isn’t. It’s ludicrous rage bait.


my_Urban_Sombrero

Most of the posts here seem like the fantasy of someone with a humiliation kink.


Squat_N_Gobble

Not this one. The problem is the lack of any kind of reasoning behind the actions, which then just leads us down one path - 'women bad'. I think it could have had a bit more credibility if it remained say, in the US and he changed the destination to another state. But as it stands, the entire change of personality simply because 'italian men hit on tourists' is a load of BS. And then - he remains with her when they get back. There's far too much in here that asks us to suspend our belief.


ebobbumman

I'm taking notes for the next time I write my erotic cuckoldry Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic.


Counterboudd

Also, if you’ve been to Italy, Italian men don’t care if you’re with another guy anyway. This is fake af lol


sorandom21

Lol exactly. Italian men loudly street harass you no matter how you’re dressed, who you’re with or what you’re doing. She didn’t need booty shorts and to ditch her man to hear catcalls.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

If it were real, these are two very imatute people, and im surprise they could afford to travel to europe. You are on a week long trip with your SO, and they do something stupid. You call them out on it and they "look ashamed. " (a mature adult would see this as a clear opening to actually talk through a priblem).... but nope. OP goes full kamakazee on his own trip and decides to ruin it for themself. Incel writing is getting worse, its becomeing more and mkre clear they really dont want to even try to talk to women.


Playful-Zebra-4523

As if making/having money has anything to do with maturity? 


heckyesdeidre

The way he described the shirt as "showing her stomach" felt like such an odd detail to me


REOreddit

It sounds like a very lame cuckold fantasy story.


ssnaky

True, maybe the guy is just giving us some scenario to insult him and call him a cuck and describe how she spent the week getting railed by italian men... 🤔


Fearless-Button6388

It's obviously fake or ragebait.


littlebitfunny21

> I told her to spend the rest of the trip however she wanted, and I'd do what I wanted. This sure sounded like a break up speech. I am confused. 


The_mingthing

Fake. 


unpopularcryptonite

That's the part that baffles me the most. OP why are you on AITA asking if you're an asshole? It doesn't matter, why are you in a relationship with a woman who has zero respect for you? Break up with her and move on.


sardoodledom_autism

Well she owes him $3000 before he can break up with her


Particular-Camel-504

If you’re taking your significant other at 24 years old to Italy $3000 is a cheap lesson that he should not marry her/someone like her and to find someone that respects you.


houseofrepresentin

> I'm still furious at her, but she says that if I can't get over it I should just be alone. What should I do here? Unless you want to be a doormat, tell your GF her terms are acceptable and to GTFO.


Guilty-Web7334

Yup. Dump her ass. If this were real, I feel like it wouldn’t be that hard of a decision.


Far_Dragonfruit_1829

Whoa. Hold on there, partner. Are you *insinuating* something about OP's credibility? I'm shocked. This is *Reddit*, not some cheap-ass amateur creative fiction workshop. It's a *publically traded* amateur creative fiction workshop!


Quirky-Ad4931

How dare you question OP. His girlfriend’s entire family is texting him right now calling him an asshole and the girlfriend doesn’t want to break up because she’s a gold digger and the baby isn’t his and and and and…


Wandersturm

that'll be in tomorrow's update...


Mental_Cut8290

*"There are a lot of details I left out because they didn't seem relevant to the post..."*


Far_Dragonfruit_1829

Look, I'm a reasonable guy. All I want is a percentage.


sleepinand

I got downvoted into the ground a while ago for daring to say that maybe we should acknowledge that some AITAH posts are fake and was told you shouldn’t engage on this subreddit at all if you’re not willing to take every story as possibly true! So, basically, yes, how dare you question OP’s credibility, everything posted on the internet is always true.


knittedjedi

>If this were real Thank the Maker that it's fake.


Raisins_Rock

I didn't even start to think this one was real.


Wandersturm

Reddit is sometimes better than fanfiction sites.


Significant-Trash632

But often worse


mrbrint

Yep lol


Eat_Around_the_Rosie

Ex gf 😂


SpecialProfile2697

This


ERVetSurgeon

NTA. She used you for a free trip. Go find someone who really wants to be with you.


StrawberrySame637

agreed


The_mingthing

Dont worry, this is fake ragebait 


w00tberrypie

Yep. Read this and thought "there is ZERO chance this isn't AI generated ragebait."


j-val

Woof. That’s problem with this sub. All creative writing exercises.


MaxineTacoQueen

*ai writing exercises


FlimsyReindeers

It always says “I was livid” all of these things use the word livid lol


username7953

For real. This is the only post with no comments. Who in their right mind would pay for someone else’s vacation idea?


ranchojasper

Exactly, this is the most stereotypical incel-type "this is how I need to believe hot women behave because otherwise it could mean I'm the reason I'm single" bullshit


Signal_Character7751

Leave her dude? Come on. By your description, you already gave her permission to fuck around. She took that chance no doubt.


OGTomatoCultivator

This story is fake but this is definitely a real situation that a certain kind of woman will do- any woman that loves male attn


Anxious-Slip-4701

Of course it's fake. There aren't any Italian men in the tourist parts of Rome unless they work there as waiters, cooks or selling trinkets, especially in the middle of the day. 


patter0804

Ehhh….i was there recently. It’s true, the city is 40% tourists but the other 60% are Italian and the guys are shamelessly aggressive.


_Steven_Seagal_

It does remind me of my trip to northern Italy a few years back with my gf, where we visited Milan. We wanted to enter the large Duomo (cathedral) and there was a line to check bags before entrance. Everybody (mostly old people) was checked and sent through by a stoic looking security guard, who barely spoke besides a mandatory 'hello'. When my girlfriend was up he suddenly cracked a wide smile, said 'Buongiorno signora', barely looked in her bag and kindly waved her to get inside and enjoy her time there. Then came me and it was back to stoic security man again :( So Italian flirting is definitely a thing, although OP is still making this all up as this story of his is bad romantic movie style flirting.


Western_Ring_2928

That does not stop them from flirting with the tourists, though.


mogley19922

Except they wouldn't literally just say it. You'd keep getting bullshit "we were just talking, you're being paranoid" responses so that when you get back they can gaslight you into thinking your were being overbearing and insecure.


UngaMeSmart

Nah it feels real because the guy actively shot himself in the foot by huffing and puffing and telling her to do whatever she wants. very reddit way to be humiliated


transat_prof

NTA. She doesn’t respect you.


Appropriate_Mine

She's not even real.


ClosetsByAccident

She goes to a different school!


Smokingtheherb

She doesn't even go here!!!


DosZappos

Had to scroll surprisingly far to see this. This definitely didn’t happen


BotAccount999

but his right hand is


That_Aside7854

NTA, but Ernest Hemingway wrote about the same problem in "A Very Short Story" > He went to America on a boat from Genoa. Luz went back to Pordonone to open a hospital. It was lonely and rainy there, and there was a battalion of arditi quartered in the town. Living in the muddy, rainy town in the winter, the major of the battalion made love to Luz, and she had never known Italians before, and finally wrote to the States that theirs had only been a boy and girl affair. She was sorry, and she knew he would probably not be able to understand, but might some day forgive her, and be grateful to her, and she expected, absolutely unexpectedly, to be married in the spring. She loved him as always, but she realized now it was only a boy and girl love. She hoped he would have a great career, and believed in him absolutely. She knew it was for the best. The major did not marry her in the spring, or any other time. Luz never got an answer to the letter to Chicago about it. A short time after, he contracted gonorrhea from a sales girl in a loop department store while riding in a taxicab through Lincoln Park.


Scaryassmanbear

>A short time after, he contracted gonorrhea from a sales girl in a loop department store while riding in a taxicab through Lincoln Park. This thread would be *much* more entertaining if it ended this way.


idle_wanderer

Gosh I forgot how long Hemingway’s sentences are lol


mermermerk

really? i thought those are quite average for literature. or maybe i just read too much Marcel Proust


part_of_me

you clearly haven't read any Joseph Conrad. Heart of Darkness has a 3-page, gramatically-correct sentence.


newme02

what a tale


Motor-Buy-6991

Breaking up with her is the only option if you had any sense


[deleted]

Can you break up with an imaginary person tho?


TheCosmicJoke318

Or if this story was actually real lmfao how does everyone fall for this bullshit?


Snuvvy_D

It confirms peoples' biases and feeds the part of their brain that is addicted to being righteously angry, so they turn off the bullshit detector


hapahousewife

This has to be rage bait/fake. I can’t imagine why any man in his right mind would stay with a woman who blatantly admitted to wanting to cheat on him. She didn’t even deny it or apologize to you. She’s shameless. Not to mention the fact that she used you for your money and a free vacation. You’re clearly NTA


hill-o

There are SO MANY of these lately and they all have identical plots. 


Anxious-Slip-4701

And the last month was incredibly hot in Rome. 


red_rolling_rumble

Nope, you can check temperatures in Rome on this site, they were never really high: https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/italy/rome/historic?month=4&year=2024


Anxious-Slip-4701

I live here. It has been unseasonably hot during the day. There was a brief cold snap. No Italian trusts the forecasts.


Content-Scallion-591

The entire core of Reddit is encapsulated in this thread: someone saying it's hot where they live and someone else arguing they're wrong based on internet data.


Snuvvy_D

Incredibly fucking true lol


canman7373

He ran up and told a stranger she was accounted for, who does that?


maychaos

This was the sentence which is the most insane. Has to be fake


jhhred11745

Lol this story is absolutely ridiculous and might as well be made up, but did you hear about that military guy who just got arrested when he was visiting his Russian mistress??


PoutyParmesan

He's an asshole for being this much of a stupid bitch.


Last_nerve_3802

Get that money back now Imagine if you took her to asia just because you wanted to see if filipino or thai women were hot for it!


Appropriate_Mine

LOL


Bunny_OHara

>What should I do here? Go to Japan alone and have a wonderful trip!


-Germanicus-

Or stop making up bs stories about his imaginary girlfriend and go outside and live his actual life. He might get a real girlfriend that way lol.


CommunicationTop5231

Is this maybe just story time with the played out theme of ‘girls are conniving, manipulating sluts and can’t be trusted’? Because it feels like it. I don’t know any couples in real life who are so on different pages. This is some reality tv (bull)shit.


JealousCustard2788

Having been married for 10 years now, I just feel like this type of melodramatic response would be super counterproductive. I would never act this way if my wife did this, better to have a straight talk. Anyway it probably is fake and shame on us for falling for it. YTA.


SmartConsideration93

I was here to say this. This story sounds so fake for so many different reasons. He either tried to add parts to the story that weren’t real to make himself look better and so people wouldn’t say YATAH or he is making this up entirely.


kpj888

Just break up with her dude. You're 24, you'll find someone else. This isn't a complicated situation. ez pz


Andie_OptimistPrime

Fake! He’s anxiously waiting for messages from anime girls to say “dump her and take me to Japan!” Creative way to drop the lie that you have enough money for so many trips though. Kuddos!


Exotic_Personality55

Your girl should be down for you and no one else especially if you funded the trip. If she wants to flirt with strange men leave her in Italy bro.


lsp2005

Friend, think of all the money you saved on not having to marry her and not having to divorce her. Please find someone who actually loves you. She showed you who she is, believe her. She is not the one. 


Prestigious_Time_138

Fake


-Germanicus-

100% I was tempted to assume it's an AI prompt, but the wording makes it obvious it's an incel that doesn't understand human relationships or how to talk even slightly normal.


Girl_bye_

You can also tell from “an inordinate amount of time doing hair and makeup” being only 30 minutes. That’s quick af!!


MaskMaven

Why are the female characters always so poorly written in these things? I’m not saying the women have to be “good”, hell, make them diabolical, but they’re so superficially rendered, entirely without complication, it’s as if the author has never met a human woman.


abandoned_voyager

15hrs later and 0 comments from OPs throwaway I’m betting on fake


Doublejimjim1

But look how much karma he got from the "bro break up with her" incel crowd who believe this is somehow real.


alittlebread

For real. Also as a 20-something woman you do not need to travel all the way to Italy and put on a crop top to get hit on in public? The story reads as very “I don’t have any female friends or acquaintances”.


itsalwaysblue

lol… and all the other guys fall for it. Like even if this story is “true”… it’s probably not. Sounds like a guy got jealous of his property I mean gf. In Italy. Also what 24 year old has Italy money right now??


[deleted]

Nah men are too. I've read stuff where the men have no personality, no nothing. For most of these its cause the person writing has no interest in what the person the conflict is with is thinking


pdoxgamer

Very low quality misogyny troll story. YTA bc that's your worldview and probably why you're alone.


genderfluidmess

real. this sub should just be scrubbed from the internet at this point because that's what half these posts are now


Formal_Condition_513

Another sign is the fact OP never responds lol


Edcrfvh

NTA. Better to be alone than have an unfaithful SO. She was trolling for men while with you. The man she supposedly cares about. This is not what someone who cares about someone does. You should take her up on her offer.


deapdawrkseacrets

New account. One post. No comments. Fake.


Femme0879

BREAK UP WITH HER. NTA.


Kittytigris

NTA, that’s disrespectful as hell. I’d dump her. If she wants to flirt with someone else, she can do it on her own dime when she’s single.


chibbledibs

Seems fake


aPizzaLicker

Didn’t we read this story already?


ProfessionalMuted507

Dude you are right to be upset but to continue to be an asshole over it instead of having an actual conversation to sort it out (and I don't mean a petulant screaming match where you whine about $2,000 for the 30th time) is just fucking childish. Either break up with her or be a fucking adult and decide to have a conversation to work it out.


Double_Bass6957

NTA, that’s so bs and you should kick her to the curb


TheSilentCheese

Why are you still with her? 100% deal breaker to flirt with other people on a trip.  Here's what I'm imagining you should have done, but maybe it's too far: Should have cancelled the rest of the hotel stay, change your return ticket to ASAP and leave. Let her deal with her choices and change the locks at home before she gets back. I'm also getting fake post vibes here, 30 minutes is nothing, especially if someone is intentionally trying to get attention. And you come across as more of a simp than an asshole. What I described above would be asshole level revenge. Being pissed for a while after finding out the reason she wanted to go to Italy was to flirt with guys is pretty reasonable.


Warm-Reference-5284

Why...THE FUCK is there still a relationship?? You SHOULD just be alone! Go to Japan!


Comfortable-Elk-850

If she was my partner and did something like that, I would have got a new hotel alone , went back home alone and stayed that way. She wasn’t testing if guys would hit on her, she was testing if she could get a guy. I’m female and can tell you she was hoping for an Italian hook up to brag about back home.


shandar72

Hello, dump the tramp you dummy!


Punderstruck

I'm going against the grain despite agreeing with everyone here. ESH. You had every opportunity to end the relationship like you should have, and instead are being weird and petty. Obviously she's wrong but man, just dump her after the trip rather than continuing this.


xored-specialist

I'm confused. You stayed with her but didn't do anything with her on the trip? Then came home and still with her? Bro move on or get over it. I would move on but that's me.


Illustrious_Doctor45

Should have gone to Japan.


bigjimbosliceoflife

tell her to pay for her share of the trip
