Just another classic story of boy meets girl, boy and girl break up, and girl cries about it to boy's mother!
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/throwawawa7, who writes about her son's recent breakup. They had been dating for over two years so, in fairness to the ex-girlfriend, she had formed a relationship with his family.
However, after they broke up, some time passed and he began seeing someone new. Here's where things went way wrong. The ex went marching to his parents' place and wept about the breakup to his mother. Yikes. It seems like she handled things as well as one could in this situation. In fact, many of the comments on Reddit seem to suggest that she could have gone way further. Still, she managed to tell her son's ex that he hasn't done anything wrong by seeing someone new. This "reality check" set her off. Not only did she start crying louder, but also she told the mom that if she could "throw her away like this, then it's no wonder [the mom's] son can as well."
If this girl had spoken to literally anyone in her life about whether or not it was a good idea to confront her ex's mother, they would have suggested that she process her feelings in any other way. I'd rather she vent to me before going to the boy's family.
