📝 AITA for letting my ex pick me up because my boyfriend was “too busy”

So last week, my car broke down and I was stuck. I called my boyfriend first! he said he was “in the middle of something” and couldn’t come right away. I waited like 30 minutes, then called my ex (who lives 10 minutes away), and he showed up fast. No funny business, he just helped me out and dropped me off.

Later that night, I casually mentioned it to my boyfriend and he flipped. He said it was “disrespectful” and that I crossed a line by involving an ex. But like… I was stranded, I didn’t go clubbing with the guy, I got in a car and went home.

Now my boyfriend’s barely speaking to me, acting like I cheated. But if he really wanted to play hero, maybe he should’ve answered the call when I needed him?

AITA?
