AITA for Feeling Like a Second Choice in a Casual Dating Situation?
After dating a woman for a couple of months, I discovered she had been intimate with another guy early on while I had to wait. Feeling like a backup plan, I confronted her and then blocked her. Was I wrong to react this way?
I (26M) have been casually dating a woman (25F) for two months, both seeing other people. We finally had sex, and she revealed she had already been intimate with the other guy shortly after meeting him.
We both agreed on taking things slow, but the timing of her intimacy with the other guy made me feel like a second choice.
I felt like I was being treated as a second choice.
I confronted her about my feelings, then blocked her without waiting for a response.
I just felt like I was being judged and compared with someone else.
Was I wrong to react this way?

After blocking her, I felt a mix of relief and regret.
I ended things to protect my feelings, but I'll miss the connection we had.
The consequences are clear: I lose a potential relationship but gain peace of mind.
Sometimes, self-preservation comes first.
It's a bittersweet ending, but I know it was the right choice for me.
