When you start dating someone, it’s a given that you trust them with a lot – from your secrets to your safety. And when that trust is violated, well, it can be pretty hard or even impossible to get it back. 

That’s exactly what happened to today’s OP. He started dating a girl he liked, and everything was going well for months. Until one day, he found something on her laptop that changed everything, and there was no going back.

    He confronted the woman about these pictures, but she didn’t have any answer to his questions, so he decided to end things

    One day, the OP was alone in his girlfriend of 5 weeks’ apartment. He took her laptop with the intention of watching Netflix, but what he saw made him forget about his plan. On the computer, a photo gallery was already open, and in one of the albums, the man saw his picture, so he opened it. There, he was met with hundreds of images of himself. 

    A girlfriend having an album of her boyfriend’s pictures doesn’t sound like an inherently troubling thing, does it? Well, in this case, it was troubling. You see, many pics were of the man sleeping, thus taken without his consent. Even worse than that were the photos taken of him around his school campus – she doesn’t even go there, how and why does she have them? 

    What should a person do when they find themselves in such a situation? Well, the OP decided to confront his girlfriend. He took some pics of her laptop screen as evidence, went to a park, and asked her to meet there. 

    When she came, he showed his proof and straight-up asked her to explain. But she didn’t really have anything much to say. She shot back “I don’t know” to every single question he asked. So, he simply ended things with her.

    After all, she was basically stalking him. And from the OP’s reaction, we can clearly see that he was for sure freaked out about finding all those photos

    Who wouldn’t be? Imagine finding out someone you trust, like a significant other, is invading your privacy like that. There’s a reason why, in many cases, taking pictures without a person’s consent is considered a crime or at least is frowned upon. 

    In the original poster’s case, he was in a public space, a campus, where his reasonable expectation of privacy is relatively limited. That means that, technically speaking, taking photos of him wasn’t a crime. 

    At the same time, it wasn’t like he was just in the background of someone else’s picture or just a few pics were taken of him by, for example, a school newspaper. His girlfriend had loads of those images. Plus, the fact that she doesn’t even go to that school – thus she had to go there specifically to take his photos – doesn’t sit well either. When you add everything together, it’s a very creepy situation, isn’t it?

    That’s what most of the netizens thought too, but there were some who thought that it wasn’t as creepy as it seemed, just a young woman not knowing how to handle her crush on her boyfriend. 

    Which party do you agree with more? Maybe you even have a stance on this whole situation? Please, share it with us.

    Many netizens agreed with his decision, but there were some who just thought that while the woman handled the situation badly, she didn’t have any malicious intent

    It wouldnt have been creepy if she had a justification (like I think you're cute or she wanted you to make you a gift like an album or something like that). But she didnt had and she blocked you. Very huge red flag

    That's not just immature crush behavior, that's crazy celebrity stalker type stuff. For frack's sake, she is an adult, not some junior high tween. He should let her know through one of her friends that he made copies of everything just in case, so she had better delete everything.
