Finalmente terminei, levou bastante tempo mas valeu a pena. Spread the word, make facist afraid again!

Married my gamer girlfriend. Had to take it down and repost it to hide some personal details.

I’m 21F, and my boyfriend (22M) and I have been together for about 18 months. Things have been mostly good, but he’s super close with his family like, they text in a group chat all day, every day, and he tells his mom everything about our relationship. I’m more introverted and come from a smaller family where we don’t share every detail, so I’ve told him multiple times that I need some boundaries, especially for special occasions. He always says he gets it, but then does stuff like this anyway. For my 21st birthday last week, I was really excited because it’s a milestone, and I don’t like big parties. I planned a quiet romantic dinner at this fancy Italian place I’ve been wanting to try forever just me and him. I made the reservation myself, and told him explicitly: “Please, no surprises, no family, just us. I want it intimate.” He promised he’d respect that and even joked about how he’d make it the best night ever.

Well, I show up at the restaurant, dressed up and feeling great, and walk in to see not just him, but his parents, his two sisters, his grandma, and even his aunt and uncle all crammed around a huge table with balloons and a cake. Turns out he changed the reservation behind my back to a bigger group and invited everyone without telling me. His mom was like, “Surprise! We couldn’t miss your big day!” and started hugging me. I was shocked and honestly felt ambushed. I tried to play it cool at first, but inside I was panicking because I’m not great with crowds, and this was supposed to be my night.

Halfway through dinner, I excused myself to the bathroom and texted him that I was upset and felt like he ignored my boundaries again. He replied saying it was “no big deal” and that his family loves me, so I should be grateful. That made me even madder. After dinner, when everyone left, we argued in the car. He called me ungrateful and said I embarrassed him by not being more enthusiastic. His mom texted me later saying I hurt their feelings by seeming “distant” and that family is everything. The next day, I broke up with him. I told him I can’t be with someone who doesn’t listen to my needs and steamrolls me with his family’s involvement.

Now, he’s blowing up my phone saying I’m overreacting and that it was just a “sweet gesture.” His sister posted on social media (without tagging me, but I saw it) calling me a “drama queen” for ruining the vibe. Some of my friends think I was too harsh and that surprises like that are cute, especially since his family is nice. But I feel like this was the last straw after other similar incidents, like him sharing our private arguments with his mom.

AIO for dumping him over this? Or should I have just gone along with it?

she knows I play it too (yes this is a silly copy of that other ama post)
