Can anyone be friends with an ex, really? Some people insist yes, others say no. The answer is, like many things, probably somewhere in the middle.

In this story, an ex needs an attitude adjustment… but the new bf is not here for it.

Let’s see what’s up with this breakup.

AITAH for breaking up with my new gf because her ex (who is her friend) needs to get used to the idea of us dating?

Ok, so my new gf introduced me to her friend group.

Including the ex.

Admittedly, I never felt entirely comfortable with my now ex being friends with this guy.

But what’s wrong with this particular situation?

He acted weird when my ex introduced me. I thought it was me at first.

However, my ex explained that her ex told her he needs time to “adjust” to her dating me. And told me she was gonna try to limit our interaction.

I asked her to clarify. I asked her if she’s gonna not see him, but she told me not exactly, but she was gonna try to keep me and him apart.

OP didn’t like that tactic.

To be honest, when I heard how apparently she’s gonna actively make her “friend” comfortable like this, it felt a punch in the stomach.

I told her I do not feel comfortable with her being friends with a guy who needs to “adjust” to us dating and that we weren’t gonna work out.

She tried to convince me there’s nothing going on between them, but I didn’t believe it.

I mean, what the heck is there to “adjust” if they are platonic friends?

AITA?

Sounds like OP has already kind of made up his mind.

Are the comments on Reddit on his side?

This person says, you can break up with someone over less.

This poster says, she’s two-timing, bro.

Someone else is like, I’m seeing red…

Another person says, bullet, dodged.

Another person says, get out while you still can.

He showed this ex to the exit.
