Nobody likes feeling like they’re being replaced, especially when the relationship still feels brand new.

But that’s how this young man felt after dating his girlfriend for about a month.

Everything seemed to be going well until she started spending time with a new group of friends she met at a local bar.

A few days later, she suddenly told him she wanted to go back to being “just friends.” When he asked what happened, she insisted he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Then she admitted she’d developed a crush on one of the guys she met at the bar.

Needless to say, the young man couldn’t help but wonder if that had more to do with the breakup than she wanted to admit.

Read on to see how it all played out.

AITAH: My girlfriend went out to the bar then days later wanted to become “friends”

My girlfriend and I have been together for a month. We have done things like go out to restaurants, attend events, and so on.

Recently, she was talking about her new friends at a bar she frequents while I’m at work (I work the night shift). She was saying how well she got along with them and explaining how she met someone like her who shares some of the same issues. I didn’t think too much about it.

A couple of days later, I received a message about her being at the bar with her “new friends,” and I joked about being jealous of them.

She got upset with me, saying I can’t be mad about her new friends.

Suddenly, her feelings changed.

Recently, I went over after work, and she told me she wanted to be “friends” instead of boyfriend and girlfriend. I was upset and asked what I did wrong.

She said it was nothing and that I was wonderful. She just fell out of love with me. I asked a few questions, and then I asked if it was because of a guy or something.

She brought up that she had “a crush” on the guy from the bar and claimed, “It only lasted a minute or two.”

I don’t want to assume she is flirting with this guy, but I’m worried because I feel like we were just leaving the honeymoon phase and she got bored of me.

AITA?

Yikes! It’s easy to see why he’s so upset.

Let’s see what advice the fine folks over at Reddit have to offer him.

This person explains what he’s lost.

According to this comment, he needs to just move on.

This reader thinks he’s being disrespectful to himself.

Here’s someone who sees it for what it is.

She actually did him a big favor.

A month into a relationship should still be the easy part. The fact that she developed a crush on someone else so quickly says a lot about where her heart was.

The best thing he can do now is let her go. There’s no reason to fight for someone who has already decided she wants something different.

One day, he’ll probably realize this breakup saved him a lot of time and heartache.
