Was I wrong to break up over his patriarchy jokes and no real apology?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I talking about a case where man was wrong but he keeping he did right I told him he is not then he said ik but idc I will make jokes and then he keep saying I am gonna make a joke on patriarchy ( he cracked some tho not much offending but still ) I said do not crack joke like this they are quite triggering I explained him why. I have seen patriarchy since I don't even know what it. I saw my mother or other women going through this so I found it triggering but he keep saying it's not a bad thing it's just a joke I will make and then I don't know in the middle of convo he said if I can said anything to God it will f u for me all this thing is not smthg I can settle with so we decided to have brk up

After 3 days he messaged me and said that I am sorry but uh should say sorry also I replied that ur too late for sorry and why should I say sorry then he said he shouldn't make joke but I also got triggered and it was fault only.

Guys I don't know but I found myself dumb here and decided not to talk anymore so was it a good decision or was I really wrong or I make a small issue bigger I don't know he was my only frnd and my 1st love I just don't know

I was right

I was wrong

You weren’t wrong. You clearly set a boundary, explained why patriarchy jokes trigger you, and he dismissed it, doubled down, then demanded you apologize too. That “you were triggered so it’s your fault” vibe is a red flag and low‑key emotional manipulation.

First love hurts like hell to leave, especially when he’s your only friend, but you chose self‑respect over crumbs. That’s not dumb, that’s growth. You didn’t make a small issue big, he made a hurtful issue repetitive. You did the right thing walking away 💔➡️💪

There must have been something else wrong about your relationship. People don't break up over a joke. There's gotta be something more.

You both seem too immature for a relationship.

May I ask why

There is no wrong reason. Relationships are voluntary so if you don't want to anymore, that is entirely up to you.
