34-year-old dude loses it after 28-year-old fiancée responds to his breakup speech with an apathetic "okay"

Everyone responds differently to breakups. Some people burst into tears and others immediately put up walls and bottle everything up so as not to give their now-former partner the satisfaction of having made them cry. Obviously, bottling everything up is not necessarily the healthy option in these scenarios, but let's give the folks who opt to take this route a break. After all, they have just been dumped.

Here, we have a 28-year-old woman who felt the breakup coming in her gut. She was engaged to a 34-year-old guy named Alex who was pursuing his PhD, an academic route she gave up on in order to make more money with a traditional corporate job. Clearly, Alex was unable to get over the fact that his younger fiancée was the breadwinner in their relationship. No matter how hard she tried to communicate that this wasn't an issue to her and that she was proud of him for sticking to his dream, Alex could not shake the fact that this was a dealbreaker for him.

Despite the fact that she knew their breakup was inevitable, the original poster (OP) was not prepared for his savage breakup speech when she returned home one day. So when she could only muster the word "okay" after his tirade, Alex exploded. Keep scrolling below for the fallout and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section.
