A woman on Reddit has recently woken up from her dreamy relationship . However, she might want to reconsider her decisions after her boyfriend betrayed her in the worst possible way you could hurt a bookworm.
OP and her boyfriend, David, have been together for three years and recently moved their relationship forward by moving in together. She described herself as a bookworm with an impressive collection that has taken years to get.
RELATED STORIES
She explained that she speaks four different languages, making her collection bigger than a regular one because she enjoys reading the books in the language they were originally written instead of the translation.
While OP is proud of her books, David seemed to have a problem with them; the main issue is that he never mentioned this until they moved in together. OP said she pretended to put the books in her office since she works from home, but David had different plans.
When they were unpacking, David separated all her non-English books and told her she needed to get rid of them. She explained that she didn’t want to throw them away, and even though she could consider downsizing the collection, they had enough space to keep them all.
Still, David insisted that the books were useless because she was the only one who could read them. OP didn’t pay attention to him and put her books on the shelves and left to have coffee with a friend, but most of her books were gone when she returned home.
He Never Mentioned This Before
It Was A Surprise
David told her it was meant to be a surprise; he asked his mother to help him throw away all of the books, but OP managed to get in time and retrieve them before they did. So now she decided to put a lock on her office so he couldn’t enter when she was gone to protect her precious collection.
OP added that David’s sisters keep calling her telling her she is being inconsiderate. However, the comments disagree on this matter; everyone believes OP is right, and David was full of red flags. He didn’t respect her boundaries and belongings and shouldn’t have involved his family.
Many comments suggested she break up with David; others saw the benefit in the situation, pointing out that it was better that it happened now that they had just moved in together. Others observed that it seems like David feels intimidated by her, and he is jealous because he can’t speak or read other languages.
