Man Slammed for Not Leaving Party With Girlfriend After Her Enemy Showed Up

In a post going viral on social media, a man has been slammed by the internet for not leaving a party once the woman his girlfriend didn't like showed up.

Published to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole forum, a man under the username u/Ievanpolkkati shared his story in order to get the opinions of the "AITA" community. The post has over 5,000 upvotes and 1,000 comments.

"I went to an event with some friends," the Redditor began, "This girl (Carly) who my GF (Kenzie) hates showed up and apparently I was supposed to leave after she was there."

He explained that he was supposed to go out with his friends. There was no intention that "Carly" would be an attendee, but she heard through a mutual friend that the OP was going so she invited herself to the gettogether. Carly wanted a chance to explain herself as "Kenzie" probably told him "a bunch of lies" and that she was an "overdramatic person." Carly told him that she doesn't see any harm in just being friends other than the OP having a "controlling and jealous" girlfriend.

"Whatever, I was friendly to her and everyone else there and we all had a good time," he wrote, "My GF was upset at this. Apparently I was supposed to leave after Carly showed up. She was livid. She thinks that Carly only did that to get under HER skin and she knew she could make her mad by hanging out with her BF all day. She says that she only acts nice around me, and that's she actually a backstabbing 'person.'"

Due to their argument, the OP explained that he's starting to think his girlfriend is dramatic. He's confused as to why he can't hang out with his friends and has to leave if someone his girlfriend doesn't like is there.

Newsweek reached out to u/Ievanpolkkati for comment.

Some people just can't get along. There can be many reasons why your partner doesn't like one (or more) of your friends. According to Bustle, it's best to find out the reasons behind their hatred. Maybe your partner is jealous because of how much time you spend with a specific friend or they see something in that friend that you don't see. If appropriate, have your friend and partner talk it out.

Do you think you could possibly be in a controlling relationship? There are plenty of crucial signs to keep a lookout for. Per marriage.com, these signs include jealousy, keeping you from friends and family, putting blame on you for what they've done, looking through your personal belongings, not wanting to leave you alone, criticizing you, and controlling your daily activities.

Many other Redditors dragged the OP for his actions.

"I mean, to be fair, Carly made it pretty clear that she did in fact show up to get under your gf's skin by hanging out with her boyfriend all day. And then you proceeded to hang out with her all day," u/Theabsoluteworst1289 wrote, receiving the top comment of over 22,000 upvotes, "I'd say you and Carly are both [a**holes]. If I were you I would have left after Carly's little speech bashing your gf and then claiming to want to hang out with you. Why is she so desperate to be around you and why are you cool with someone trashing your gf? [You're the a**hole]."

"[You're the a**hole] Carly is trying to f**k you to hurt your GF and you're letting her hurt your GF. No normal person finds out an ex friends partner is at a event they weren't invited to then goes jut to bad mouth their ex friend," u/Fainora said.

"[You're the a**hole]... you shouldn't have left when Carly arrived, but as soon as Carly said she wanted to talk to you without your gf and invited herself specifically for that... that's your cue to leave," u/Perfect-Associate318 commented.
