Was I wrong for breaking up on Valentines Day?

[Anonymous]

My former girlfriend and I were together for the past year and things had definitely cooled off since around the holidays and I assumed she was wanting to break up. I thought Friday would be a good day to break up because she could be free to see anyone she wanted for the entire weekend. I forgot when I sent the text first thing Friday Morning that it was Valentine’s Day when she responded back asking if it was a joke. I told her it wasn’t a joke and that we should stop seeing each other and she said she understood.

Now some of our mutual friends are mad at me for breaking things off on Valentine’s Day like there’s some rule you can’t break up. Was I in the wrong? Should I have waited until Monday?

Yeah it was wrong

No it’s just another day

Lie to the people who care about you and your decisions, not to us. Saying you didn’t know Friday was Valentine’s Day is like saying you didn’t know Christmas was the 25th or New Year’s Day on the 1st. This is not an obscure holiday in the slightest, you knew it was coming and you wanted to be petty because you could feel the breakup coming. You’ve felt it for well over a month now, yet you picked and planned the one day that would crush her to “free” her? You’re lying to yourself and being so damn egotistical that you won’t own up to it.

I wanted her to have the whole weekend free to do whatever she wanted. If I really didn’t care about her, would I have put in all that effort to care for her feelings? If I was a horrible person, I would’ve broken up with her on Saturday

For a sec I thought you were my ex bc we broke up V day lmao. Nah you aren't wrong, she is going to glow up and be super pretty and you'll regret it, but that is what you get for being a POS that breaks up valentines day

Did you want to be unncessarily cruel just to "make a point" or get revenge?

I’ve always read that Fridays are the best days to break up because there’s less chance of a physical altercation.

[OlderAndWiser]

There are many other ways to obtain that result, likke breaking up at lunch in a crowded restaurant.

That’s pretty mean
