I recently broke up with my (now ex) boyfriend and I'm wondering if it was the right decision or not. I can't tell if I'm overreacting and being an asshole, or if my reaction was justified.

My brother recently moved into a new apartment with his partner and he asked me and my boyfriend to help him move, and we both agreed to it weeks beforehand. Unfortunately, on the day of, I got a call from my boyfriend telling me he was sick and wasn't able to help anymore. It was disappointing, considering my boyfriend is a regular gym-goer (it's where we met!) and would've been a lot of help with the heavier lifting, but we were still able to get everything done without him.

After a long day of carrying furniture and moving boxes, I decided to be a nice girlfriend and bring my boyfriend some soup since he was sick. Only when I got to his apartment, he wasn't sick at all. He was playing video games with his roommate. He blew off helping my brother move to play video games with his roommate.

We got into a fight about it; he said it wasn't that big of a deal and he didn't want to waste a Saturday moving boxes for people he barely knows, I said it was a dick move to lie to get out of something he agreed to do weeks ago, especially when he would've been a lot of help to us. The fight got pretty nasty, and at the end of it, I dumped him.

It felt like the right decision at the time. He lied to me, and it hurt. But it's been over a week now, and I miss him. I don't know if breaking up with him was an overreaction, and I don't know if trying to get back together with him would be a good idea or not.

I know he was an asshole for lying, but was I an asshole for breaking up with him over something so small?
