I made the mistake of comparing him to my ex

not bragging about my exs. I’ve only had four, and two were when I was in middle school. <br><br>I’m 20. My newest relationship, that I made the dumb mistake of bringing my ex up, just ended. <br><br>My boyfriend (ex now) made a comment about how I look good in my hair when it’s down, but how I look better with it up. I said “oh, so you like long hair?” And he said “no, I just like the way you look with it up.” And I made the mistake of saying “oh, my ex liked me with my hair down.” And IMMEDIATELY he was like “who cares? I don’t give a fuck about your ex. I’m your boyfriend. Focus on that.” <br><br>I said sorry, and he said “no need to apologize because this is over.” And just ended things. I think he was already not that into me (I’m 4’11, he’s 6’3. I have long hair, he likes short hair, etc) and that was just the straw that broke the camels back. But still, I got a bit butt hurt because I didn’t mean to do anything. I didn’t mention my ex in a good light, I wasn’t bragging or anything. I feel like I can’t win. I got called a disloyal bitch for mentioning my ex to my boyfriend, but whenever I don’t bring my ex up, I get called a loyalist bitch for not bringing him up enough. I feel like everyone wants me to focus on them and them only, so when I make a relevant comment about my past, I get shit for it. Mention my ex, get dumped. Don’t mention my ex, get dumped too. <br><br>Anyone ever get shit for bringing up their past like this? At least I got a good lesson learned to never bring up past relationships to the people I date again.
