Me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years. For the past 6 months there have been issues between us and things don’t go well. We work at the same place and our work is pretty hectic. He has always “brought work home” but it hasn’t troubled me since some months ago when it became more of a lifestyle to him and all he talks about is work, he has a second job too to add to the mix. He rarely finds time for me or for our home, he doesn’t clean, doesn’t do the dishes etc anymore and when I ask him to help me he brushes it off and gets annoyed saying he is tired. I get it and know very well how he feels but even a little help would be nice. Due to all of this he hasn’t payed any attention to me anymore, we don’t go to dates, he doesn’t bring me flowers unless it’s my birthday or Women’s Day, no more compliments but instead I get snarky comments etc. All of this has brought us to a place where I feel I want to break things up. Couple of weeks ago I told him about my concerns, we discussed and decided to try and work for our relationship. 2 days later he came home, drunk, yelled at me, argued and kept asking who is the other man. I kept repeating there is no other man, and there really isn’t but he insisted there is someone else. During the argument he messaged one of his friend (a girl) and said that I broke up with him and he regrets not trying a relationship with her. After that he asks her for nudes. She didn’t send any. I didn’t know about this until couple of days ago when I saw the messages. I felt like my heart sunk and someone stabbed me in the back. I didn’t know how to react. How can a man who insists he loves his girlfriend very much do such a thing? When I confronted him he kept saying how he still loves me and doesn’t love her. It was all a game and he wanted to know where the conversation leads to. One thing that haunts me that he said that night is that she has always been the girl who gives her womanly attention
No, you are not the asshole, but your boyfriend sure is. He seems like a piece of work. Why are you still with him in the first place? He is emotionally immature and does not seem to act like an adult. If he suspected that you are cheating, he should have either talked it out with you or collected indisputable evidence BEFORE making false accusations. Not only did he falsely accuse you of something that never happened, he also had the audacity to ask a random woman for nudes when he was still in a relationship with you.
Honey, that is NOT the kind of man you want to spend your life with. Guess what? He was gaslighting you, making you question your own sanity and it does not matter how many times he tells you
tells you he loves you - words do NOT mean anything. Actions sure do. Kick that guy to the curb and don’t look back. There are plenty of other good fishes in the sea that would treat you like a Queen. Save yourself from a big heartache and run.
Edit: Just read all your replies, good on you for kicking him out. Now, you need time to heal and move on. I’m almost plenty sure that he would want to get back together again and slowly slither his way into your heart, do NOT allow him to do so. Stand your ground and take some time for yourself away from all the toxicity. Start dating others only when you’re sure that you’ve moved on from this guy. Good luck.

leave him and don't look back. that is not what a guy does when he says he loves a woman. He is a shit bag.
Fucki no. Run away now this can only end in you knocked up with a bastard and a absent dad who dodges his child support, fucking run girl!
Absolutely not... and what was he thinking? Did he even have an explanation? What was his reaction to your "Goodbye" ?

If he's asking for nudes from other women/girls you deserve a new man/ guy to move on with life this is sad he's doing this to you and you deserve a better man/guy to be in your life :) :) Best Wishes :) :)
Why are you still with him? Why disrespect yourself?
No. This is pretty close to cheating. You do not deserve that disrespect.
You did the right thing breaking up with him. Even if he did give you flowers on Women’s Day.
