I [17f] dated a guy from 15 to 16 who was extremely toxic to me and left me traumatized: he manipulated me, cheated on me, left me feeling ugly and with trust issues, etc.
I recently started dating a new guy who’s been great, he is very very sweet and caring. I’ve been opening up to him about some of the things that I dealt with in my past relationship, and this resulted in him getting very angry for my sake and wanting to have an altercation with my ex.
I think this is a horrible idea, not just because that’s immature, but also because my ex would easily win. They’re both about the same height, but my ex was crazy about Muay Thai and trained 5-6 times a week. Plus, I just think temperament wise my boyfriend is just very friendly, kind, the type of guy who doesn’t have a ‘killer instinct’ and my ex is the type of guy who was always good at figuring out peoples weaknesses and using them.
He keeps saying he wants to confront my boyfriend, and I’ve been dissuading him, but he keeps on insisting, so I told him bluntly that if he does, he will lose.
He’s very upset and told me that he feels hurt and emasculated, and hasn’t talked to me since. AITA?
