My boyfriend broke up with me because I spend 14 hours a day with the 2 founders

"But what he was upset about from the beginning was the fact that I would have lunch and dinners with them" He clearly stated his boundary, didn't he? Did you do something about it? He probably felt he wasn't being heard. It's not exactly his insecurity, but rather his maturity that he chose to simply walk away without making much of a mess. He could have been someone toxic who'd torment you with god knows what. He respected your choices as well as his own priorities. I don't see either of you being on the wrong side here

You can’t be in serious relationship with such long and hectic work hours, as simple as that. It is either career, or relationship. Both can’t go on same level, talking only for such 12-14 hrs work timings. 12-14 hrs work schedule is not normal.

Talking of the guy, yes he is insecure, but to some extent he has got reasons to be. But he could have conveyed this in better way, it was a bit rude and judgemental to convey his reservations in that manner.

The only founder I know personally is top tier pervert , before knowing him i would have been chill but now I won't

Fake story and fake life. Who starts a poll on grapewine about their recent breakup with boyfriend and when they are so heart broken.

Quora vibes.

You're only sharing his view but not yours. Are you career focused? What's your view on relationships? Those matter more and whether you have had this conversation with him prior to the breakup.

Well with a profile pic of naked women legs and a name redthuder…. U am sure there is more to this story they just spending 12 hours with founder…

Men know Men. A man will always try to hit on a woman. If you see the signs, he is doing. If you don't see the signs, he is still doing it. Trust me.

98% of men would agree, the rest are trying to fit in the "norm".

Your boyfriend didn't doubt you, he doubted those founders.

If you need a litmus test, try to be just a bit "closer" to one of your founders and you will see for yourself how quickly the colour changes.

Quite upset with the kind of responses I'm seeing from people here. Conversation initiations, spending too much time with the opposite gender, spending late nights - cannot help but think that people are saying this simply because OP is a woman.

Giving importance to her career is not a bad thing at all, especially when she mentioned that she was spending time over the weekends. Weekdays are for work and yourself, weekends are for everything else. Don't get what's wrong with that. The guy could've told her about his problems and this could've been handled very differently. Based on the responses dont think OP wouldn't have put in the effort.

To the OP - don't overthink this. You can probably try reaching out to him again and tell him that you're willing to clear the air and put in more effort maybe

Second thought are human nature but while breaking up giving such useless reason is shit he should understand you better nd support you in such hard time. And had a clear conversation about this physical thing

Well, nothing wrong with long working hours - if you enjoy it and it gives you a sense of purpose & satisfaction at the end of the day.

If you feel like your heart's not it & you are just slogging purely for some extra monies, it might be a problem.

Either ways, I don't think it makes sense to be in a relationship with someone with that kind of insecurity, for either of you.

With regards to long working hours & maintaining a relationship, I don't think that's really a problem, as long as they either understand it or are equally busy.
