On my girlfriend’s birthday she was turning 19 after we went to eat with her family we went to go get ice cream,I was still 18. After we left there we were on the way back to her house and I asked her would I be able to se what her room looked like. It was daytime and her parents were at the house and her brothers. Her dad was upstairs and her brothers were upstairs. I had met her mom more than once by this time and her dad more than once.

(For context the first time I went to the house her parents weren’t there and her parents knew I was at the house with her and that was ok. Me and her went on a date that day and on the way back I said something about it but we weren’t able to because we realized it was kinda too late. She or me didn’t ask her mom. She never said anything about how her mom would react or anything.)

On her birthday I asked in my car and she said she would go in and ask her mom so she did. Me and her had to bring her gifts inside the house. I didn’t pressure or ask her to say something to her mom,she did it herself. She went in and her mom said I wouldn’t be able to and I said ok and we just walked out. I didn’t think it was a big deal because if that’s her mom’s rules then those are her rules. When I got back to my place she told me she knew what her mom would say when she went and asked. She told me that her mom said it weird I wanted to see a girls room and I should’ve apologized. My ex told me her mom got pregnant when she was her age and she just thought something would’ve happened if she showed me what her room looked like. She said that her mom just sees herself in her daughter when she was her age and doesn’t want the same thing to happen to her. She said her mom doesn’t really know who she is and how she never liked physical touch and how I was the first boy her mom met.

Me and my ex never did anything when we’re even at my place back at college,in my room or her room. My ex knew I wasn’t like that and her dad even said he thinks I’m respectful. She told me her dad didn’t even think it was a disrespectful question. I don’t really understand why she didn’t just tell me in the car her mom wouldn’t let us go to see. All I would’ve said was ok. When she went to my parents place I showed her what my room looked like and she said she wanted to see the environment I grew up in. It wasn’t like I went and asked her mom knowing what her mom would say. I asked my girlfriend in the car because I would think she would know if I could or not which she clearly did know. But simply seeing what her room looked like wasn’t something I just needed to do,I just simply wanted to know if I could.

To make a long story short she broke up with me the next day,the day after her birthday after I spent 500 on her gifts and I took off work just to drive down to see her. She basically said she already knew how her mom would react but still asked anyway. I had no problem with not being able to see her room,I was just curious to see what it looked like since I was at the house already and it was day time and her parents and brothers were there. I was coming back to my place that day anyway so if I truly was trying to do something with her why would I do it in her parents house with her dad upstairs. Wouldn’t I just ask if she could come back to my place or wouldn’t I ask if I could stay the night.

Just curious how most guys here feel about it.

Have you ever regretted something you did in the past, if so why?
