Writing Prompt: #3 Breaking up with my boyfriend

From Dre “you break up with your boyfriend because the world’s going to end and it’s 100% his fault.”

AITAH: For breaking up with my boyfriend

Throw away account obviously. This is my first time writing and I don’t want him to know that I put his messy ass on blast so I’m also going to use initials.

I’ll try to be as quick and concise as possible because if I’m right we only have about 36 hours before wide scale pandemonium so time is at a premium. I (f21) broke up with my boyfriend “DC ” (m21) because the world is gonna end and it’s 100% his fault.

I’ve known DC since we were kids. He was charismatic but such a rotten punk. Even though I lived right next to him I would avoid him as much as possible. I don’t really get close to people and there is a perfectly good reason for that which you’ll understand later, but yeah. I was equal parts afraid and disgusted when it came to him.

That changed when we went to college. I was so surprised to see that he had signed up as a theology major as well! I never pictured him going into the esoteric arts. We were assigned a project together. It’s embarrassing and I feel like a walking cliche even saying this but I totes fell for him. Hard. Like enemies to lovers hard.

My birthday came up, I’m turning 21 (the age when The Great Marriage of the Sacrificial Lamb occurs) and he wanted to spend the day together but I told him no. That I needed to be with family but I would see him tomorrow.

This was a lie but I didn’t have the heart to tell him that my heart was going to be ripped out of my chest on a sacrificial altar and fed to the human symbiote of a higher demi god who I would be united with in an other worldly marriage that would halt the impending apocalypse.

It would hurt his feelings…

Anyways he’s really bad about taking no for an answer and he broke into the house via my window last night and all hell broke loose. The whole ceremonial sacrifice thing kinda caught him off guard. His eyes legit turned red and he got really feral.

It happened so fast.

One moment my great aunt Mildred (not her real name) was standing over me with the anointed dagger and the next she’s lost her head.

Once he chilled out I calmly and clearly communicated why I was doing what I was doing. He seemed to understand. But when I told him I needed him to run me through with the infinite blade of immortal light he’s all like “a hero would sacrifice you for the greater good, I have no such compunction, I would burn this world for you blah blah blah”

On one hand it was exciting to find out how much he cares but on the other hand there are billions of people and it kinda dries me up to think that we would be the only two people here.

I know it sounds like I am being hella dramatic right now but I was so incensed that I broke up with him on the spot. He told me I’m being unreasonable and made me feel really bad about it so I kicked him out of the house.

He’s trying to get in touch with me now but I put my phone on DND. The last message I got was from his dad saying how happy he was that DC saved me, how he always knew I was the one and he’s over the moon that the world is finally ending.

Who says that?!

DC is making me feel like I’m the asshole here.
What do you think?

TLDR:I broke up with my boyfriend because the world is gonna end and it’s 100% my now EXboyfriend’s fault

Update: Thank you everyone for your support. He did cross my boundaries by murdering my family and that is unacceptable. And to those people saying I’m lying come say that to the hell mouth that just opened in my parents dining room.

Update #2: Oh now you believe me!?! Was it the fire falling from the sky, the fact that the sun didn’t rise or the swarm of locusts that finally convinced you. He’s still knocking at my door btw. He’s just standing out there with two dozen roses saying I’m sorry I killed your cult. Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how to stop the evil from seeping further into this plane of existence. Is this how Pandora felt 😅

Update #3: I know y’all said it was right to leave him but he said he could help seal up the hell mouth. So I’ma let him in.

Update #4: He lied! Omfgbbqwtf. He just threw the infinite blade of immortal light into the hell mouth and it doubled in size. The hole not the blade. I’m absolutely livid! He’s broken trust again and I don’t know if we can ever recover no matter how much I love him.

Update #5: Ugh some of y’all are asking for his name and I’ll tell you because I just really don’t care about protecting him or his bad behavior any more. His name is Damien Christopher.

P.S. For those of you dealing with the fire imps I totally suggest using a fire extinguisher, a hose or sand if you have it.

Update #6: Okay y’all this is the final update. After a heart to heart we decided to work things out. I know a lot of y’all said I should leave him over his reckless behavior but I love him so much. And he wasn’t actively trying to bring about the apocalypse. He just wanted to spend the rest of his life with me which maybe about 6 minutes or 66 years.

Also did you know some men can grow hooves and a tail and large black wings that rip his shirt to shreds in an instant, like on demand ?Because I sure didn’t. He’s like a total monster and I dig it.😜

Wow this has been a ride.

Any who, good luck y’all!
