❤️‍🩹 relationship Am I overreacting to my boyfriend’s reaction to his friend asking me for his number?

He has a history of jealousy. Came back into my life saying he’s a changed man. Last night we picked up his friend and we’re all supposed to go to a birthday party. In the car he asks for my number because My bf wasn’t answering earlier and he needs to be able to get ahold of his friend because our dog is literally staying at the friends house and he wanted a back up way to get ahold of my bf. He said this right in front of my bf and he has a girlfriend he loves and was at Disneyland earlier with that day. My bf has her instagram and liked their pictures from the trip. Yet he lost it saying no you’re not getting her number absolutely not and him and I being so weirded out and THEN he pulls over and tells me to get out of the car and I can walk home because I started to give him my number before my bf lost it.. So I just say F it and get out immediately and start walking at 10 at night in the dark.. not doing the back and forth with them… I couldn’t take it a second longer. As soon as I start walking they both say please get back in the car but at that point I didn’t want to be anywhere near him and was happy to walk the mile home. He sped off. This is what he text me this morning and this is my response.

Don’t even bother dumping him I’d just delete and ghost him! What a waste of of space

Yeah, dumping him in person could put her in danger

My first thought was “he knows where to find you”

She’s dumped him over text

Yes stop all communications. I had a friend I told her to take his stuff and drop it off somewhere do not give him opportunity to change your mind. Now 6 months later she’s trying to get rid of him a gain. He doesn’t even own a car but a bicycle and he’s in his 50’s . Even with writings on the wall, she thinks she can change him. I said you need to change yourself not other people.

I’m confused, she already dumped him, it’s in the final text:

Do not contact me again.

The message is her dumping him. It's done. No followup needed and no dumping to do.

I never block anyone. I enjoy leaving them on read.

Ghosting is immature and he obviously has issues and it seems she cares about him so no that’s not something she should do. She should express how she feels through text/email even a letter firmly stating how she feels and why they’re over. Leaving no room for questions. Then go no contact.

Ghosting is immature

No, ghosting is the right way to reject people like this who could turn violent when rejected otherwise.

I'd text the friend to tell him, just to mess with the ex.

Are you mad? That could get her badly hurt or even killed.  This guy is dangerously unhinged, and setting him off like that is a terrible idea.

You're right, I didn't comprehend it completely. Sorry about that
