The day before my gf’s bday I took her out for some burgers and gave her bday gift. It wasn’t expensive (I’m a broke college student wanting be a surgeon)

Anyways the next morning I wake up to a text of my gf saying “Michael texted me happy bday. I was surprised he remembered” Michael is her ex. I asked “did you reply?” She said “yes” and sent me a screenshot. I said “oh ok cool”

It’s just a text and harmless I didn’t care at all. Well I surprised her at university. I gave her a kiss and just sat with her while she was studying till she had to go and I walked her to class.

I had a meeting that afternoon with some co workers at work. Well she texts me “I got anonymous flowers at work” and that’s when I got mad. Cause her ex (Michael) sends her flowers and always anonymously. That’s his style. I said “you know that’s from him right?” She said “oh you don’t know that”

I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it but she could see I was upset and she wanted to meet. I told her to “enjoy her day” she said “I won’t let that asshole come between my future relations” I told her “you are letting it come in between with how close you are with his family”

So we met. I told her “when SO breakup and date others. There is some space between their exes. This is very creepy plus you are close with his family” she said “I was with him on/off for 10 years I just am close” I told her “so why am I here” and she began crying and told me to “get out of my life forever”

So I apologized and kissed her. I told her I was overreacting.

She made a new social media days later and asked if she could friend her exes family. I said “you can do whatever”

Days after that she sent a screenshot of her brother wanting to hangout with her exes family. I said “oh sounds fun”


AITA for making her cry on her bday?
