In his Reddit post, the man sought opinions from the online community, specifically asking if he was in the wrong for ending the relationship in front of her parents. He also clarified in an edit that he wasn’t seeking judgment for breaking up with her but rather questioning if he was wrong in how he handled the situation.

What Do Redditors Think?

Many Redditors overwhelmingly supported the man’s decision, with one user stating that any woman who didn’t even bother to call her own child because she got a new boyfriend was a major red flag, making the man’s choice understandable.

Others echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the girlfriend had hidden her child from him and had seemingly abandoned and neglected her child. Some commenters pointed out that any parent who neglects their children is a significant red flag, further supporting the man’s actions.

Praising the man for his approach, some Redditors highlighted that he waited for the girl to be out of the room before explaining himself and even took her and her belongings back to her parents. They also expressed curiosity about what her parents had to say about the situation and questioned the girlfriend’s decision to keep her child hidden. They firmly supported the man’s decision and didn’t find fault with how he handled it.

Several commenters agreed that if she could do that to her child, it made them wonder what she would do in a relationship, eventually supporting the man’s decision. Others acknowledged that the circumstance was not ideal, but thought the man’s attitude was acceptable and honest. They held the girlfriend accountable for orchestrating the interaction and believed that she was bearing the repercussions of her actions.
