Throwaway account because I’m only using reddit for this. I (19F) recently started dating Bryce (21M). The other night, we went to hang out with a bunch of his friends and a few of mine at someone’s apartment. Everyone was a bit tipsy but I didn’t drink because I was driving us home. We were playing stupid party games like charades and truth or dare, and it was Bryce’s turn to ask me a question. I said Truth, and he asked me what my body count was. I don’t really think it’s a huge deal, so I answered honestly (mid single digits). He made a face and said “eesh, slut alert!” There was a huge chorus of laughter as he reenacted a sex act, pretending to be me. I was honestly so angry and embarrassed and didn’t know what to do. A part of me was considering just getting up and leaving but I completely saw red and fired back.
I asked Bryce what his body count was in retaliation and he answered with a number significantly HIGHER THAN MINE. And as he said it, he made this stupid smug little face as if he was daring me to say something. I then made a face of my own and said “yikes, all that practice definitely hasn’t helped. 30 seconds if we’re being generous?” He got really quiet and no one said anything except for my best friend, who cracked up. I just got up and grabbed my stuff to go and he followed saying nothing. It was truly painfully awkward leaving and no one said a word, but I honestly didn’t care because it felt like he brought it upon himself. He stayed silent for the first few minutes of the drive home but blew up at me eventually. I called him a hypocrite because he had said done essentially the same thing to me moments before, but he said it was different because he was drunk and was “only kidding”. I said “well I was kidding too. So that makes it okay, right?” He wouldn’t stop screaming about how he was drunk and it was a joke and woke bitches like me need to learn how to take a fucking joke. I just silently pulled up to his building and eventually he left the car in a fury.
My best friend, bless her heart, says that what I did was awesome and I should dump him immediately. But when I told my other friends, they said that I went way too far and that it was different because it was mostly his friends there and he wasn’t in a right state of mind to even know what he was saying. He honestly wasn’t even that drunk, but I do feel bad for embarrassing him in front of everyone. He’s been texting me non-stop with screenshots of his friends relentlessly calling him bad in bed and that he has a micropenis. I still think he’s an asshole for embarassing ME in front of everyone, but I do think it’s different because it wasn’t my friends. I haven’t answered any of his texts or calls, but it’s getting to the point where I probably should. I want to reconcile because I do feel guilty, but I don’t know if he even thinks he did anything wrong. AITA?
