- A 23-year-old woman revealed she broke up with her boyfriend
- The woman said she ended it after they watched the Barbie movie
- She questioned if she was an ‘a**hole’ for breaking up with him
A 23-year-old woman has revealed she broke up with her boyfriend after they watched the Barbie movie together.
The pink-filled film has brought many fans together through its high spirit, however for one couple it tore them apart.
The unnamed woman took to Reddit to share that after she and her boyfriend, 23, went to the theater to watch Barbie, she split with her beau due to him not agreeing with the feminist themes in the hit film starring Margot Robbie.
She questioned if she was an ‘a**hole’ in a thread titled, ‘Am I the a**hole’ for ending things with her partner due to his ‘weird comments about women, [and] the LGBTQ community.’

The post read: ‘Am I (23F) the a**hole for breaking up with my boyfriend (23M) over the Barbie movie?’
‘I literally don’t know what to do right now, and I feel so helpless turning to Reddit for advice/validation, but three days ago my boyfriend and I went to go see the Barbie movie. I’ve been really excited as I’m a huge Greta Gerwig fan and my boyfriend liked Ryan Gosling, other than him being in the movie, my boyfriend didn’t know anything else about it. ‘
She then explained that she was ‘aware’ of the film’s many ‘feminist themes’ and as the movie went on, she became more aware her boyfriend was uncomfortable with them.
‘I on the other hand was aware of its feminist themes and was secretly hoping my boyfriend would get the message. Over the duration of the movie, I could tell he was getting more and more uncomfortable/upset and I was getting really sad (both from the movie and his reaction). I knew we would end up having a conversation about it afterwards.
‘He didn’t talk to me until we got in the car, he then told me that he was really offended by the movie and said that it was the kind of thing I should have watched with my girlfriends and not him,’ the anonymous woman added.
She explained that the couple had been having issues prior to watching the movie, noting that she was ‘tired of having to deal with his attitude and disrespect.’
After ending it, she asked her now-ex-boyfriend to pack his things and move out, and he agreed.
The unnamed woman noted that when she came back home she noticed that all of the food in the fridge, the batteries in their electronics drawer, her phone charger, and half of the blankets were missing – adding in a follow-up post that he also took her Dyson AirWrap.

However, she said the next day none of their friends or his family had heard from him and she began to worry and question if she was in the wrong for dumping him over ‘the freaking Barbie movie.’
She explained: ‘I assumed he had a place to go but apparently he didn’t. His brother called me a few hours ago saying he’s MIA, his friends are blowing up my phone and saying the same thing. I feel like this is all my fault. No one has heard from him in 24 hours.’
‘I can’t believes this is all because of a freaking Barbie movie,’ she added.
In a follow-up post, she revealed that she had discovered he had been cheating on her throughout the relationship and had run off to the other woman’s house with her things.
She added: ‘I wrote that post in a frenzy of panic and guilt, with a clearer head I can recognize that yes, we broke up because we were incompatible and I was at my limit- not because of a movie.’
Users on the social media platform rushed to her defense and praised her for ending it with him.
One person wrote: ‘All of this is his choice. And it’s not bc of a movie. It’s because of how he chose to treat you.’

‘He’s having a big old sulk to make himself look like a victim. Forget about him and consider yourself wiser for the experience but ignore his friends too. He isn’t your responsibility,’ someone else wrote.
Another user added: ‘Also you aren’t responsible for his actions post breakup. He obviously has people he could have turned to. This isn’t your fault.’
Another person wrote: ‘You can break up for any reason you want to. And he is a big boy he can take care of himself.’
‘OP ended it because he was a jerk. His comments after the movie were the last straw,’ someone else said.
‘Ladies don’t secretly hope your man will become a better person through the magic of cinema,’ commented another person.
Another person said: ‘Sorry he lacked the Kenergy to step up when he needed to. I know it hurts right now, but you absolutely did the right thing.’
‘It’s not because of the movie. It’s because you kicked him out because of his views about the movie and other things.
‘But that doesn’t really matter. You had a right to kick him out and you don’t have any responsibility for what happens after that,’ wrote someone else.
