AITAH Broke Up with Girlfriend because she Refused to Go After my Former Roommate for Child Support

I (24M) have been dating my ex-girlfriend (23F) for 3 years now.

When we first started dating, she told me that she had previously dated my roommate (29M).

Okay, all that is in the past.

After 2 years together, she introduced me to her child.

This man realized that the father of his girlfriend’s child isn’t providing child support.

Now, we are at the 3-year mark and discussing moving in together.

After talking about moving in together, she finally told me that my former roommate is the father of her child.

I was not bothered by that.

Until I realized that he has never once talked about his child or anything about child support.

I know that he works as a gas station cashier.

So I began to wonder how he could afford rent and groceries on top of child support.

When he asked her about it, she told him it’s not his business.

I asked my ex-girlfriend if he was helping with their child.

She said, “No, I choose to raise (child) on my own.”

I thought that was stupid, because she doesn’t earn much herself as a caregiver for obese individuals.

I brought up going after him for child support since that’s the bare minimum.

She got angry and told me to mind my own business.

She also said he’s being a jerk for trying to meddle in her child’s affairs.

I figured since we were discussing moving in together, then her child would become my business.

I thought I was looking out for their welfare, but I guess not.

She said I was being a jerk and that I have no say when it comes to her child.

I told her she should be doing better for her child.

So, he decided to break up with her.

I then broke up with her.

Why put time into a relationship with someone who has a child if I’m not allowed to look out for that child’s welfare?

I also moved in with my parents until I can find a place to rent myself or a new roommate.

AITA for ending the relationship?
