He Told His Ex-Girlfriend That She Should Just Drop Out Of College Because Stay-At-Home Moms Don’t Need A Degree
Have you ever been in an argument and said something that stuck with you long after?
One man still wonders if he was wrong after telling his ex-girlfriend she should drop out of college and become a stay-at-home mother because of her outdated views last year.
He’s 20 and was in a relationship with his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend for two years.
He remembers the entire relationship as being fairly toxic, but one of the worst parts of it was that his ex expected him to pay for everything they did together.
One of the worst arguments they had occurred last summer while he and his ex were on a road trip.
One night, they stopped for dinner at a restaurant, and he knew his ex would expect him to pick up the bill. He decided to be brave and asked her to pay for their dinner.
“She said no, and that was the end of it,” he recalled.
“On the road, I brought it up [again because] I was frustrated I was paying for almost everything. She brought up stuff about how ‘the man should pay for everything,’ and we went back and forth a little bit.”
He figured this entitled behavior from his ex resulted from being raised by her mom, who he thought was one of the laziest people he’d ever met.

Then, during their argument in the car, his ex began texting her mom, asking for advice and points to make, and their argument became more heated.
His ex then started quoting articles that stated men needed to always pay for their girlfriends in order to “show interest” in them. She also said that men were the ones who needed to do more to show interest in their girlfriends and wives.
He started getting so angry and frustrated by his ex’s old-fashioned and outdated relationship beliefs that he snapped at her and said something he still thinks about.
“I told her that everything she was saying was outdated and that if she felt that I should pay for everything, then she should just drop out of college now because the role of the woman is to stay home, and you don’t need a college degree for that,” he recalled.
While he was being sarcastic and does not feel that way, part of him still feels bad for saying it. He was only trying to give his ex a response as ridiculous as the claims she was making.
“She told me what I said was an extreme red flag,” he added.
Should he feel bad for saying that, or was he simply in the heat of the moment?
