Seeing women help each other is always great, no matter if they are close friends or strangers. In this story, a woman hid a letter for her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend and told her about her bad experiences with him. The new girlfriend was shocked and posted about it on Reddit, where people responded with a huge amount of support. This small act of kindness shows how a small action can really hit home with people online.
In a Reddit post, the woman told her story.
“My boyfriend Steve and I have been together for two years and have been living together for eight months,” she wrote. I found a letter hidden in the back of a cabinet one day while I was cleaning our apartment. It said:
She went on with her story, “I chose to show him the letter to see how he would react after reading it.” As soon as I gave it to him, he tore it apart and told me not to believe a word of it because she was crazy and couldn’t be trusted. Telling him that he hadn’t found the letter in 5 years since they broke up was a huge red flag for me. It’s clear that he has never cleaned that area, and he’s been even less careful with cleaning since I moved in.
He said that his ex was trying to control him and ruin his life again, and that I was letting her do it. We kept arguing about the same things, and in the end, I chose to leave and spend the night with a friend.
Steve has really been a great boyfriend so far. He gets along with my family and sends me flowers and gifts as a surprise. He loves me a lot and always tells me that. His point that cleaning hasn’t been a big deal in the past is valid. But the note showed me that he hasn’t been cleaning as much lately. “It made me think that we should really talk about this.”
“Afterward, he texted me to say sorry that I felt I had to leave, but he also said it was wrong of me to put a note ahead of our two-year relationship and leave him and our pets like that.” Now I’m really lost and don’t know what to think or believe. I’m even thinking about getting in touch with Natalia to hear her side of the story.
Steve says that I should go home and forget about it because his past shouldn’t be a part of our future. He said that his ex-girlfriend was selfish and manipulative while they were together, but I’m not sure what to believe.
When we moved in together eight months ago, each of us did half of the cleaning. He hasn’t done as much around the house since then, though. I have to remind him to do simple things like put his plates in the sink and take out the trash. This is something I’ve never had to do before. They won’t get done until I do them. It’s gotten so bad that he’s even left food to mold on the plates.
