    AITBA for getting involved with a guy soon after his recent breakup?
  • 03
    My coworker named Henry recently broke up with his girlfriend, maybe three before we started "talking". Me and him just started a “talking phase" but here's where the problem comes
  • 04
    When I first started the job, he was very friendly and got my number. He had a gf at time time btw. He would text me and ask to play video games.Or he would call me occasionally to talk about random things like the sea or music. He
  • 05
    texted a lot in the beginning, but it was nothing sexual or flirty and he also brought his gf up casually in convos. But he did text things like saying good morning, which I thought was a little suspicious. I asked him if his gf was okay with us

    being friends, he says she doesn't mind and the gf tells me herself that she doesn't mind as well and thanked me for asking (in dms). We never met in person. Fast forward the texting sort of

    stops because I kinda started ignoring it and he stopped reaching out as much bc I didn't wanna play video games anymore. I kinda felt bad because ik he was trying to be nice but I'm not the calling / texting type with people

    I'm not close with or are not my significant other. Plus he had a girl at the time so I didn't feel like there was any reason I had to or should go out of my way to be buddy buddy with this guy. Next time we see each other he says he broke up with his gf and he

    was really said. He finds out (through the ex) that she cheated on him as well. In the coming weeks he starts to text me and call me more, subtly flirting. He also wanted to hang out outside of work now. The first two times I

    kinda made excuses but I agreed the third time. When we hung out for the first time out of work, he said he liked me and made it clear he wanted to start "talking" so I agreed and decided to give him a chance. But he doesn't want a

    relationship he just wants to have fun. Even though I would generally want more than that, and I really started to grow closer to him and really likeD him. Mind you there's a girl who is

    starting rumors (to the ex) that he cheated on his gf with me which isn't true. I just find it interesting the gf is accusing him of cheating after admitting to cheating herself but that's a whole other issue.

    In our "talking phase" we've talked for maybe like three or four weeks. I don't talk to him anymore for a multitude of reasons including him being pushy se ally, and just being disrespectful, low effort, and

    talking to a lot of girls at once. So I cut him off. After cutting him off I also asked the coworker if she really spread those rumors, she said that she DIDNT and all that happened was the ex asked her if me and the

    dude were fooling around at work, and she just said she saw us TALKING... idk who to believe but atp I don't care for the drama anymore because I know he's talking badly about me bc I'm ignoring him.

    However the gf found out that we talked and is now slandering me to the coworker. Thankfully most coworkers kinda know she's a troublemaker and don't pay into these rumors but I'm still upset. But maybe I brought this on

    myself? Even though I had no intentions of infringing on their relationship, impact outweighs intent and maybe that's what the ex felt. AITBA?

    Cloudstarbestleader · 12 hr. ago NTBA you weren't even dating, and there isn't a time limit for when ppl can get over a break up. You did nothing wrong. You even cut him off.
