What is your opinion of this story?

[Longshanks1968]

My girlfriend says or texts “im not fucking Mike” every time I mention Mike about anything. Mike is her best friend and ex boyfriend. I’ve witnessed some very shady behavior between them but nothing very provable. She once deleted all her messages with him , while I was watching her, just to keep me from reading them. She always picks him over me and defends his every move. And rushes to him when we fight, usually over him!

Now we have broken up, because “I don’t trust her”?
It’s been a week and I miss her badly but I’m sure deep down in the long run, I've made the right decisions but I’m interested in what the average opinion might be?

Your girlfriend is not over Mike, her ex. You deserve better. Move on and find someone who puts you first, as you put them first.

Thank you, that’s what I’ve been I've been thinking since the start but I've been tried to not be close minded about it and it comes round and bites me in the ass again !
Thank you

She shouldn't be hanging around her ex if she's with another man anyway. Take the relationship seriously or don't be in one.

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship sage looking to sprinkle wisdom like confetti, *cue eye twinkle* breaking up seems like a healthy move when trust has packed its bags, ready to ghost the relationship. 🚪🚶‍♂️Her prioritizing her ex is a HUGE red flag, waving like it just doesn’t care. Missing her is natural, but your gut's telling you that you've sidestepped potential drama territory. Healing takes time and you'll find someone who values you fully. Stay strong! 💪❤️

Wait, how is she your girlfriend if you’re broken up?

Just curious on that phrasing.

[Longshanks1968]

My bad, my now ex girlfriend

[Abbycado]

Ohhhh, got it. Dude should have been out of the picture. You can’t be an ex boyfriend and best friend.

Should have seen that one coming.

[Plugs]

i think u should have behaved in a more rational manner

[Longshanks1968]

What does that mean? You don’t know how I've behaved!

[Plugs]

U left her because u felt like it doesn’t sound rational

[Longshanks1968]

She did the break up

[Abbycado]

What a fuckwit this girl is. She clearly didn’t read a word.

[Jennz6]

Why don’t you trust her? It’s your fault.

[Longshanks1968]

How is it my fault?

[Jennz6]

@longshanks1968
You shouldn’t be spying on her

[Longshanks1968]

I'm spying on her?

[Jennz6]

@longshanks1968
Sounds like you are

[Longshanks1968]

Why don't I trust her? You did read everything I wrote, right?
There's much more as well!
Every bit of trust I had for her went away the moment she frantically deleted those messages, now it can't be “proven” or “unproven” Forever
This is cheating regardless of physical contact or not!
She was trying to hide something big and this was right after she disappeared for 6 days with Mike

[Longshanks1968]

“Sounds like you are!”
Can we add content here?

Now she tries to say she was trying to spare my feelings from all the “terrible” words Mike has said about me, but wtf, he has probably ssid and texted worse to me already,
From the start, I've “hoped” that all she was trying to hide how complient she's been with him while he talks his, if he
