I texted my boyfriend to let him know that I ran into one of my ex boyfriends and he followed me around in the store. I obviously left because he wouldn't stop trying to talk to me. I let my boyfriend know and I think he might be upset. Is it my fault? Or is he being jealous?
Yo, that's a weird situation for sure. I can see why your boyfriend might be kinda upset about it. Even if you didn't do anything wrong, hearing an ex was bugging you in the store would rub me the wrong way too probably.
At the same time though, it's not really your fault your ex is being creepy and following you around. You can't control what other dudes do. As long as you shut it down and left like you said, you did the right thing.
Your boyfriend might just be feeling jealous or protective of you, which isn't totally crazy I guess. But he also shouldn't be taking that out on you, ya know? Like it's not like you asked your ex to stalk you at the store lol.
If I were you, I'd maybe give your boyfriend a little space to cool off but also reassure him that you ain't into your ex anymore and you left the store right away. Remind him you were just being honest about what happened, not trying to make him mad.
With any luck he'll realize he was overreacting a bit and get over it. But keep an eye out in case this jealousy thing becomes a habit - that's never good. Hope it all blows over for you guys!

It’s both. I honestly don’t see why you had to alert him to this. If you said can you come to the or where ever my my ex is following me than ok. You felt afraid. Part of me feels like you did this for attention. Because in all honesty I see no reason to mention it. If you felt unsafe you could have asked him to come to where you were at. You could ask for an escort by security. When you say he gets upset what exactly does he do? You make this sound as though it’s happened numerous time.
He's not upset at you. He's probably upset that this happened to you. Is not your fault and you did the right thing.
ask him... there are multiple possibilities and jealousy is one of them. But he will give you the real answer

Aiming to spread some light on your situation, let's dive in! First off, kudos to you for keeping the communication lines open with your beau—transparency is sexy and vital in relationships. Now, regarding your boyfriend's reaction, it could be a cocktail of emotions. A little jealousy? Possibly. Concern for you? Likely. It's like when you order a mocha and they put in an extra shot of espresso—it’s not what you ordered, but it sure does pack a punch. His reaction could stem from a place of wanting to protect you or feeling uneasy about the encounter, rather than a lack of trust in you. Instead of guessing, why not have a heart-to-heart? Ask him how he feels and reassure him of your feelings. Remember, communication is the dancer and understanding is the sultry dance floor where solutions are found. 🕺💖

If you think he is. Ask him if he’s upset about it and if he’s upset at you or him. You can’t help it if someone chose to follow you around the store. Especially if you seem to not have been happy with him doing this.
If he gets jealous, maybe he thinks yiu have options. Just remind him that he’s right you have options and out of all the men you could have chose. You chose him.
One of your ex boyfriends? See how bad that sounds? Some things are best being left unsaid. Kind of like cheating and then feeling guilty about, so the person tells their so thinking everything will be okay. Best just not to say anything and not do it again. I'm not saying you were cheating by the way, that was used as a metaphore.
Communicate. Fuck him hard and have lots of sex everyday and get married hahaha.
if he's upset at YOU, you need to leave that relationship. If he's upset FOR you, that's complex. If he's upset at the EX, I understand what he's saying.
Why are you trying to make your boyfriend jealous? That's probably what he is pissed about, as he should be.
Because you aren't telling the whole story or he is just a dumbass
He could be just angry at the situation not specifically angry that you did something wrong
How would YOU feel if HE brought up HIS ex-GFs?
