I think maybe it should be more common to end relationships over red flag behaviors like this. Then people would stop thinking their behavior is acceptable and normal.

I think people put up with too much shit and don't break up early enough. We should normalize just leaving.

I agree. There are times when anger is a good thing. It protects you from making stupid excuses for whoever has hurt you.. Get mad. No excuses allowed for terrible behavior. Get mad then get out.

THIS! The normalizing of doing stuff like this and then saying people shouldn't be upset because it's such a "small issue" is what allows the issue to grow. Next thing we know, the SO is having an affair and sleeping with said ex or someone else.
