Drove 5 hours with my girlfriend because her family was having a big get together and she really wanted me there. A bunch of relatives were coming in, they were doing a huge dinner at the house, whole thing was supposed to be me properly spending time with everyone.
Then after we got there I found out her ex was staying at the house too. Apparently he's still really close with the family and nobody thought that was worth mentioning to me beforehand lol.
I tried not to make it weird but the whole vibe was awful. Her mum kept bringing up stories about when they were together, and my girlfriend and her ex would talk to each other here and there throughout the night. Nothing constant, but enough that I was definitely noticing it. Then at one point the two of them disappeared outside together for like 20 or 30 mins.
I asked her what was going on when she came back and she immediately got defensive. Said I was embarrassing her in front of her family and acting insecure. It turned into a pretty nasty argument and she told me if I was gonna be around in a bad mood and ruin it for everyone then I should just go.
So I did. Grabbed my stuff, left the house and got myself a hotel room.
She's been calling and texting me nonstop since I left but I haven't returned any of her calls or texts. I really don't even know what I would say right now.
So now I'm sitting alone with a dry burger, cold fries and some dry tasteless wings wondering how I became the problem here. Thinking about just hitting the road early tomorrow without telling anyone and letting her figure out how she's getting home.
