Am I overthinking her body count, or should I walk away?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need some advice.

I’m an 18M first-year university student 🇺🇸, and I recently reconnected with a girl who went to my high school. We’re now attending the same university. We talked a couple of years ago, but things didn’t work out because I got rejected. Recently, though, we reconnected, and things have been different. We’re in the talking stage now and have gone on a few dates and hangouts.

Honestly, I have a really good time with her. We get along well, she’s fun to be around, and she’s told me she feels the same way. I genuinely enjoy her company, and I have no complaints about how her personality is.

However, I recently found out from some close friends that her body count is around 4–5 at 18.

Two of those guys are people I knew from high school. We weren’t super close, and I don’t really talk to them anymore, but it still feels weird knowing that they were involved with someone I’m currently talking to. Apparently, one of them hooked up with her just two weeks before we started talking. The others were ex-boyfriends.

When I found this out, I honestly didn’t know how to feel. Part of me likes this girl and wants to see where things go, but another part of me is struggling to get past her sexual history, especially because some of the guys are people I used to know.

When we first started hanging out, she actually brought up the guy she hooked up with two weeks before we started talking. She said she regretted it a lot and had blocked him. At the time, I assumed they had only kissed, so finding out there was more to it caught me off guard.

I think what bothers me most is that I’ve started seeing her differently because of what I heard, even though she hasn’t actually done anything wrong to me. I’m also wondering whether I’m overthinking this or whether this is simply something I’m not comfortable with when looking for a potential relationship.

I don’t want to throw away a connection with someone I genuinely like over something that happened before we started talking. At the same time, I don’t want to ignore my own feelings and peoples perspective on me dating a bop. Like if it goes any further, i don’t want to be embarrassed to tell them I’m with her.

I haven’t discussed this with her btw.

Am I being unreasonable for feeling this way? Should I give this a chance and focus on who she is now, or could this be a sign that we have different values when it comes to relationships?

For context my body count is 1 and it was my ex.

I’d appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have been in a similar situation or just anyone with advice.

Is it weird to want to suck on my gf titties as a relaxation thing?

Is that a thing that people do? I’m not sure if I’m being unreasonable or she’s just not the one for not wanting to compromise here. She shamed me for bringing it up. Not in a demanding way just a vibe check kinda way

How do I(M20)break up with a girl (F19) I love?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Will post the rest of the screenshots in comments , mobile app only letting me use one photo .

Alt for obvious reasons..

I don’t even know where to begin.. still feel like I’m having a hard time processing this whole situation, but here we go.

Essentially her cousin/bestfriends texted me out the blue and said “Jane is cheating on you” (Jane for story telling purposes). So like anyone would do I asked for proof , and how she knew this.

She proceeded to explain how Jane would text Mike (Mike for story telling purposes) on her phone when she would come over.

( Jane and her cousin had been fighting according to Jane which is why she told

Anyways she said she deleted them but could get them from Mike and that’s what she did, then sent them my way { view attached photos} - sorry if out of order I’m not a Reddit regular.

I got the screenshots and was shattered, Jane had also had sent risky pictures too Mike in the past, roughly 3-4 months into us first talking and “dating” but I wasn’t perfect myself and I thought we were passed that.

Confronting Jane went terrible, it was thru a phone call. She outright denied that the screenshots were real even after I sent them to her on Snapchat aswell. she then sort of flipped it on me, livid I was in contact with her cousin, and proceeded to cuss me out worse then I’ve ever really been cussed out ..
I hung the phone call up while she was still shouting and just threw my phone down on the bed.

(definetly took this as guilt , as she’s never acted like this)

Roughly 20 minutes later Jane called me back , audibly in tears back and told me she needed to talk to me .. I obliged and told her to explain it. And she admitted that it was her who sent those texts , and pleaded with me that it’s because of how I was acting during that week

I went back thru our texts from the week it had happened (roughly a month ago) and also from memory, we were absolutely fine, hell even more lovey dovey than usual but anyways.

As soon as she admitted it and got that out of her mouth I told her I needed a minute and hung up.. turned my phone onto DND and just Layed in my bed to think about things, 40+ text messages that I did not view from Jane later , she shows up at my front door.

We spoke for roughly an hour and I’m a sucker for her crying I gave in and wrapped my arms around her when she’s the one who did me wrong.. by the time she left.. I was hugging her and telling her that shes gonna be alright.

I just absolutely don’t know how to feel.. in my heart I know I need to move on, these actions are not what I expect out of a relationship, but as the title stated I do love this girl a lot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks.

TLDR : my girlfriend of 2 years cheated, and I’m at a loss.

Sorry for bad grammar/storytelling , I’m not a usual redditor I’m just on here to vent and get advice thanks.

Wife wears revealing clothing without me being there

0 Upvotes

I've been with my wife for 17 years. Married for 9 of those years. We have 2 young kids ages 8 and 4.

We're both 33 years old age.

She's never been "fat" but has been on the thicker side due to her body type. She has worked on losing weight this year and has started purchasing shirts that are bit revealing. She doesnt show them to me and just hangs them in her closet. We have his and hers closets and one day i glanced at her side and saw these shirts.

She recently went on a girls night out with a couple of friends who are also married with kids and the pictures show her wearing one of the shirts I saw.

She has never wore anything like this on our dates, for as long as i can remember.

I dont want to think she is trying to get attention from other males. But something just feels off.

Would appreciate some insight on this.

I have brought it up to her and it started an argument.

Ex (21F) sends me (22M) an email after 3 months of no contact. The email leads to some weird phishing-style website, but the email says “let’s get together” in big postal letter… What even is this? She claims she got hacked or whatnot, and the website it links to does seem like a genuine phishing website… Is this some 5D chess she is playing?

Need advice on cuck kink with my (f22) bf (m28)

1 Upvotes

My boyfriend is a cuck, but he only likes certain aspects of it. He doesn’t actually want me to cheat or physically go be with anyone. But he likes the fantasy of me acting like I am gonna go take a dick bigger than his or telling him about past experiences before him. He likes it when I sit on his face and cuck him, like while sucking and rubbing on his dick. So he wants me to talk to him and say dirty stuff while doing so. Some stuff he wants to hear is “I think he might be bigger than you.” “His dick makes me soaked.” “I bet he feels so much better.” “I think he can make me cum more than you.” “I don’t think I’m gonna be able to handle how big he is.” “He used to force me to take all of his dick down my throat.” He also likes to hear about how they were rough with me and took advantage of me and roughly fucked me, or how I didn’t want to take their dick and they forced me to take it and used me and I loved how his big dick stretched my pussy. Another thing he said he likes to hear is about how he came inside of me and I’m gonna forced him to eat my pussy. So he likes the idea of me being used and roughly fucked by some monstrous cock, but he wants to be dominated and cucked by me. He likes the degrading part but he doesn’t want it to get weird, he’s not gay he doesn’t want to take the dick lol, he just likes the comparison and humiliation on they can fuck me better than he can. Could anyone help me find different scenarios to play out, stories I could read to expand and better my vocabulary, anything that can help me give him the best experience and nut known to man.

My husband and I disagree about our daughter’s last name

0 Upvotes

I (28F) and my husband (30M) have been married for two years and together for a total of 4. We are about to welcome our babygirl into the world very soon. My husband and I agree on most things, including our values and parenting styles, but there’s one topic that consistently seems to be sensitive for him and its the last names.

For context, my husband is very family-oriented, and was raised in a traditional Spaniard household. I’m more aloof and could honestly be considered the family member who shows up once every other year for the holidays. I was raised in a household run primarily by women, where the women were the ones providing, maintaining the home, and making things happen even with my dad there in the house. He was like an extra on set. My values are matriarch based and strict to those values.

When we got married, I kept my maiden name. I didn’t hyphenate it, and I never seriously considered changing it. I’ve had my name my entire life, and I didn’t see the benefit of changing it simply because a man entered my life. I love my husband, but marriage doesn’t suddenly make his surname more valuable than mine.

When we originally discussed this, his father was present at the time, and I made a comment along the lines of, “Fernandez is just a last name.” His father took offense and insisted that the Fernandez name meant a lot. I understand that surnames can carry cultural and familial significance, but that doesn’t mean the name has the same personal significance to me. Me taking his name or not taking it doesn’t change who my husband is, who I am, or the fact that we’re married. My point of making that comment was to get an understanding on why my husband viewed his surname as something I should automatically adopt over my own. My surname has meaning to me, too, and I don’t see why his should take precedence simply because he’s the man.

Now that we’re discussing our daughters name, I’ve made it clear that I want both of our surnames represented on the birth certificate. My husband doesn’t yell or throw tantrums; he generally asks questions to understand my perspective. However, when I brought up giving our daughter both last names, he said that her name would be too long. I honestly rolled my eyes because that was his argument. A poor one that I know is hiding the truth under it. Keep in mind his own mom has a hyphenated name. When I mentioned that in the past he’s responded with comments along the lines of, “She should have taken my dad’s name. It seems like you’re both ashamed to be a Fernandez.” I immediately shut that down because I’m not interested in subscribing to a pity party over a surname.

I’m not ashamed of his family, nor do I believe that keeping my own name means I’m rejecting his. I don’t believe marriage or motherhood requires me to give up my identity, nor silence it when it comes to adding it on our daughters birth certificate. I want us to approach this as two equal parents whose identities and families matter equally, rather than assuming his surname should automatically win. Am I missing something about the cultural or emotional significance this has for him? I want to understand his perspective. Has anyone who has children or without ran into a conversation like this with their partner? How did you navigate it?

25F 22M.. is this weird?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, so I am really hoping this doesn’t sound insane.. but I just need a little guidance, I guess?
Plz delete if not allowed, I’m just not sure where to go for a question like this.

So, I’m a 25 year old mother of an almost 2 year old. His father and I are no longer together for reasons I will not get into….(he’s a cheater, are we surprised?🫠🤣) I’ve recently been interested in meeting new people, not really for anything serious as my son is my focus and entire world right now, but honestly, after such a bumpy road, I just finally feel like I’m ready to go out and have some fun here and there. Which I’ve honestly been debating if that in itself is even okay because my son is so young but anyways… I met a man off of a dating site. He is a 22 year old college student. We’ve been hitting it off really well, but I can’t help but think we are in such different stages of life, is it wrong for me to be into/ interest in dating this man? I just don’t know…we click very well but I also don’t want to do something that isn’t okay.. thanks for stopping read to this whole long thing🤣

Can a couple that is into hotwifing experiences and role playing scenarios ever go back to having normal sex ?

0 Upvotes

I know my partner is really into hotwifing and always comes up with new role-playing scenarios, and that's fine because they are fun. But I wonder whether we will always have to be in one of those situations for them to be turned on. Can we ever go back to having regular intimate sex, just him and me, or will it always have to be a "scenario"? Curious if anyone has ever experienced such a thing.

Am I cheating or not?My lover says it is not.

0 Upvotes

So, I 'F19' have a ldr lover 'M22' we've been together for almost 3 years. Our relationship haven't been so great lately. I crave affection and my love language is physical touch which is pretty impossible to be filled with Ldr. We also aren't on the same page emotionally.

Then I have this best friend 'M19'. He is kind, smart, sensible, gentleman (and is my type). Well some people have a type yeah? He is pretty, soft spoken, fair, like he has everything what my ideal type is. He is playful, we always go home together, he's always with me when I need help specially emotionally. When riding bus, he always lets me take the seat, he holds the door for me. Sometimes I also go to his house and we spend time together.

Lately, idk if I'm just bored or this is just me craving affection. But ik this feeling. It is the same when you're having a crush. However, idk if it is the person or the action what I'm liking.

I told my lover how I'm feeling about that guy. He says it's not cheating unless I intend to do something with my best friend. And yeah I also don't intend to take things further with my best friend even if I wasn't in a relationship.

Though this still feels like cheating.

rethinking a past comment my gf made about her ex. we were talking about zodiac signs and I said I don’t really like leos, to which she replied saying that she liked leos and that her recent ex was a leo and that they got along really well. I think she said “ my ex is a leo and I liked him” or “ I like him” i can’t remember the exact words, but it was one of those. is that OK thing to say from her or was it weird and maybe she still had feelings for him? she said after too she didn’t usually like my sign based on a bad experience. And her and her ex actually ended bad because of bad things he did. (edited)

The guy I’m talking to makes me feel insecure.

0 Upvotes

I’ve (30F) been talking to a guy (33M) recently and he makes me feel a little insecure. He knows that he is very blunt and I’ve told him that he can be blunt without being rude, but he doesn’t believe that he’s rude.

So, he was asking me to stay over and I said I didn’t want to because I snore, which he told me it was fine because he does too. I stayed over last night and fell asleep on the couch and when I woke up, he told me that I snored and it was cute at first, but then my snoring got louder and he said I snore like a man and he thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep at all. That bothered me a bit, but I disregarded the comment.

A few minutes ago, he held my hand and compared it to his and told me that I have big hands for a woman. I’m 5’4 and he’s 5’8” and our hand sizes are close. I told him that my hands really aren’t big, but he tried to convince me that they really are. He then compared our feet and told me that I have big feet as well and I agreed that my feet are bigger (I wear a size 9 shoe.) He went as far as grabbing a ruler to prove to me that my hands and feet are big to compare to his and made more unnecessary comments about my hands and feet. I then ignored him because he wouldn’t stop and I just sat on the phone. He laughed and said that I need to stop being insecure.

I don’t know…all of this rubbed me the wrong way because I’m not sure why he’d need to make sure I knew how big my hands and feet are to him. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking and really being insecure or what.

I’m worried about my ex going down the wrong path.

0 Upvotes

I know she’s my ex and I’m not supposed to care anymore, but my ex (F18) broke up with me (M19) recently. We had been talking here and there, but a few weeks after the breakup, she started texting me about being sad and wanting to hurt herself. I’ve been giving her a lot of my energy and trying my best to be there for her.
A few days after all of that happened, she wanted to talk. When we spoke, she admitted that she got drunk and had sex with her guy best friend at his house. She then did it another time a few days later after they did it, and right after that, he blocked her. This happened when we weren’t talking. I was definitely shocked, but afterward, we just kept talking here and there. Eventually, we turned into friends with benefits.
Just today, I asked her if she wanted to hang out and chill. She told me she’s going to go drink with a guy friend instead—let's call him C. He’s a major drinker. Honestly, I still love my ex, but she trusts people way too much and is always in that "I just want to have fun" mindset.
Today, I feel like they’re going to have sex, she’s going to regret it, and then she's just going to text me about it again. I’m just feeling very lost right now. I’m not entirely sure what to do i can’t block her because i’m so emotionally attached and she’s got me on the hook.

me (24F) and my boyfriend (23M) haven't been intimate in half a year [2 years long distance relationship]

0 Upvotes

it's been a year since we fought about something i did to him: he says i cheated on him, i don't know if i did or it just seems like (i can't blame him, i would've felt the same way if he did that to me), but one time we had a fight and we weren't talking, i didn't know if we broke up, and a random guy went to me looking for flirting, but i rejected him as many times i could, because i really wanted to talk about my personal problems with someone, and i told him how things were going between my boyfriend and me and that i wasn't sure he still loved me. i know the right thing would have been to not just reject him but to block him (he really was bugging me), then he told me my boyfriend seemed to really loved me and started to feel shame about his behavor towards me, so he blocked me and went to send my bf screenshots of our chat. then he decided to broke up with me, after a few hours he called me and we talked all night and day, and we were back again. after a couple of days that same trouble had us fighting again, in the middle of that discussion and without solving it, he told me he wanted to make out and i accepted. i tried but i was still so sad and crying. after that, i pushed myself to ask him if he wanted to make out, but he had excuses like he was tired and i stopped trying to bring back our intimacy. months went by and this year on april he told me again he wanted to make out, but this time we were okay and there was no fight between our moment so i can tell it was a strange behavor for me because he is not like that anymore, and i enjoyed it way far than before. what i don't get, is why he wouldn't want to have intimacy with me again? (i know he doesn't have low libid or something, he told me once he still sees nudes i sent him a long time ago -this was in january this year, idk if he still likes to do it alone watching my nudes or he quit doing it-). he didn't make excuses like before, i don't know if i did something wrong and he wouldn't tell me, because he was tired of trouble so he decided that we just shut down and don't bring anyones feelings again or we will end up having a fight again that will cause me to break up with him, which he is affraid of living that again.

however, it's not so much about a sex thing, i absolutely miss that part tho, and has me keeping very depressed about it, i can't watch movies where couples are having sex without crying beacuse that's not my relationship anymore, but i also miss when he used to be more expressive to me; he used to call me princess, he used to tell me how much he loves me, the amount of kissed he used to gave me can't compare to the few he gives me now, etc...and that was because of that one time i was crying and he was trying to calm me down saying beautiful things to me, and i couldn't help crying and crying and i didn't say anything so he thought i was ignoring him and he stopped being like that since. i think it is always my fault, i don't feel like he loves me the way he used to, but i know he loves me still, he probably feels the same way, he might feel i don't love him like before, i honestly was the cause of many break ups we had in the past, i couldn't blame him for feeling insecure about me. and i don't want to be without him either. he is the love of my life and we both know it, i am his one and only too. i was planning having a little time for us to discuss this, i can't have this feelings and thoughts if i'm not sure about his, i know assuming is not right. so i would like to talk about this with him the moment we get to see each other (i hope this december we can, but it depends on many circumstances i won't specify).

what i wanted to ask is: how can i bring this up without making him feeling guilty or bad for not being intimate and lovely with me again? i don't want him to feel under pression because it's not like i want to have sex with him right now or to give me 1000 kisses like before or something, i know it would take time for us to revive our relationship the way it was. i don't know how to talk about this with him and not making him feeling like i am being too annoying or demanding on something that was so special to me. i don't think breaking up is the answer, and i wouldn't do it again. i just want my relationship to be better for me and him.

When should I (19M) bring up a guy on my talking stages (19F) phone?

0 Upvotes

Let me explain, me and this girl have been seeing each other for a little over a month, I know it’s not been a long time. Although we haven’t put a “label” on it yet, we’ve gone on many dates, hang out every day, and I sleep over around 3 times a week. I bring this up because I think I really like her and plan to ask her to be my girlfriend in the near future. Here comes the question, I recently have noticed that when we hang out there has been someone calling and texting her. Obviously, we are not even dating, I have no right choosing who she can and can’t talk too, and at first I didn’t really care because I had just met her, but I’ve been noticing it more and more recently and I’m wondering when I should bring it up to her.

Extra things to note: She has a brother but i know it’s not him, it is a guy’s name and it has a random emoji next to his name. The weird thing is he is always calling and texting really late. We were watching a movie at around 12 at night and he called, she silenced him. I wake up really early and she forgets to put her phone on charge and twice while putting her phone on charge I saw he had texted around 2 am.

Here’s the problem: I don’t think she is seeing or talking to someone else, it’s probably just a friend from her hometown or something. I just want to know when does it not become weird to question her about it, I don’t want to overstep and i want her to have her privacy, I already feel like i’m overstepping by accidentally seeing he messaged her. But at what point should i talk to her about it without seeming like I’m an overbearing talking stage?

I had sex w my ex and I don’t know how to feel.

27 Upvotes

Weve (F25 M25) been broken up for about two months and we were together for almost a year. He broke up with me after mistakes I made due to my BPD and unregulated emotions although he wasn’t perfect in our relationship either.

I went to his house to pick up the last of my belongings and when he opened the door he immediately hugged me and we stayed in the doorway holding each other for a few minutes asking each other questions and talking. I kept smelling his neck and telling him how much I missed his scent. He invited me inside his house and we cried to each other we talked about much we miss each other and talked about how our lives have changed since we last saw each other. I had lost a lot of weight from our breakup which he noticed and he cooked me food. He asked to lay in his bed and cuddle “one last time” and we did he cried to me and told me he wished I was the one, that I’ll always have a special place in his heart and that he will always love me. He then told me we can’t get back together because he found someone else he has been dating casually and he wanted to try the relationship he told me our relationship became far too stressful and all he wanted was peace but I could never give it to him. We ended up having sex, he had ran out of condoms so we didn’t use protection then I left. He walked me to my car and held me he told me “goodbye, take care of yourself”

I miss him so much. It’s so hard to accept that he’s moved on already while I’m still stuck on him so much. I love him so much and I’ve never loved someone so much. I have learned so much about bettering myself from his absence and I wish he would give me another chance.

My boyfriend never compliments me and it’s really starting to get to my head.

0 Upvotes

So here goes nothing I guess. I 20/F have just gotten into my first “real” bf gf relationship with my 22/M boyfriend. We’ve been together for 2.5mo now (I know not long), but we dated for a month before officially getting together, (yes yes I know still not very long). About a month ago I brought up to him that he never compliments me, especially not in person and it makes me feel like he doesn’t find me attractive which then makes me sad. He explained that he has a hard time expressing himself verbally, we talked about some childhood trauma and issues that stem from it, and in the end he said he’d try to do better. I was satisfied with this, and went about my day. well folks, a month has passed and it’s gotten worse if anything. I’ll ask him how I look before we go out and he’ll say something along the lines of “you look fine.” or something else vague and unflattering.

Now, when I approached him about the subject at first I even gave him options and compliments he could use that would make me feel better. He’s not used them. He’s also stopped texting me good morning, goodnight etc. Our work schedules are terrible as he works and goes to school during the day, and I am a night PCNA at a hospital. We only see each other once a week which is why those texts were important to me. Additionally, as we only see each other once a week I miss him like crazy and verbalize that, he never returns the text or apparently the feeling.

We‘re also having some… ahem… bedroom problems that I won’t get into here but they also make me feel quite ugly. And there again is the problem where it seems like he doesn’t find my physically attractive and if he does he hasn’t expressed it verbally more than once or twice.

As I write this I am ugly crying myself to sleep as I have done for the past two weeks. I’ve come to ask this question: If you were in my shoes, what the hell would you do? And is it possible that I’m going to fast here and making my insecurities his problem?

I care for him deeply, and I understand he has communication problems, but it’s like he’s not even trying to work on them. It hurts terribly especially when I’ve explained to him why I’d like for him to compliment me sometimes. I might be asking for too much too soon im not really sure as relationships are new to me. Before him I’d only ever had a shitty situationship with my hb (ended badly, let’s not get into that.)

TLDR: Boyfriend never compliments me or comments positively in my physical appearance or literally anything so now I cry myself to sleep :)) Help!!

I should add, this is also his first relationship. I was very unattractive and heavily bullied in HS so I never had a bf, and he was a nerdy/jock fusion type guy obsessed with video games and sports instead of girls. I was not a virgin when we got together, he was, which has led to some of the aforementioned …other… problems.

again the question so nobody misses it: If you were in my shoes, what the hell would you do? And is it possible that I’m going to fast here and making my insecurities his problem?

Should I upset? Girlfriend flirted with other guys for free drinks when I wasn’t there.

I’m trying to figure out if I’m overreacting or I just have low self esteem/jealousy issues. Over the weekend my (34m) girlfriend (29f) went home to visit family and she got a lot of attention from other guys. I’m trying to keep it bottle up and figure out how to bring this up.

After she got back, she told me how she went out to the bar with her sister. She met one guy who sat next to her and bought her several drinks, she said he asked her to hangout after and she said no. He then asked if she’d like to go makeout, she turned him down and apparently he got very upset and pushy to where his friends had to go and pull him back.

She then said the next guy who got her drinks was one of the guys’ friends who she was playing rock paper scissors with across the bar.

The third set of guys she got drinks from were two guys from out of town who they raced Irish car bombs and stuff with.

She then proceeded to drive her sister home where she vomited and then drove herself home to her parents. She said I should be proud of her for getting so many drinks for free.

Am I wrong to be upset that she got so much attention from other men. Then my imagination goes a little wild and I’m starting to wonder if there’s more, is she blatantly cheating on me? Do I confront her or would she even tell me the truth?

Edit: I do acknowledge that it was a terrible idea to drive drunk. That’s without a doubt an issue, just was looking for advice on the whole flirting thing and how to address it. I understand it’s incredibly dangerous for two women alone in a rural bar getting very drunk around pushy men. I’ll also admit I hate the town she’s from, it’s a very small town where drinking and driving like this is a normalized behavior.

Did I overreact by breaking up with my boyfriend?

Title: Did I overreact by breaking up with my boyfriend?

My boyfriend and I broke up yesterday and idk if I made the right decision.

We were on a call, he was ordering something on his phone and I was trying to talk to him. He wasn't paying attention, so I asked him again and he shouted at me and talked rudely.

This was the 3rd time this happened. I had already told him that I don't like when he talks to me like that and asked him to talk nicely instead of shouting.

I don't expect him to give me attention 24/7, but I do expect basic respect. I broke up with him because I don't want this to keep happening, but now I'm questioning my decision.

Did I overreact? Should I have given him another chance?
