Man's plan backfires on him after he tries to get ex to make workout plan for new girlfriend so she can look like her. Ex decides to talk directly to GF instead.
Guy Thinks It's A Great Idea To Ask Ex To Make Workout Plan For New GF And It Doesn’t Go Well
The world's worst boyfriend makes the world's worst plan that blows up in his face. One Redditor found out that her boyfriend was planning to get his ex to make a workout plan so she could look more like her.
OP and her boyfriend had been dating for 10 months but had known one another for longer.
In the time that OP knew him, he had been dating another girl by the name of Elle. Since the two had mutual friends, they would often see each other in group settings.
OP said that her boyfriend and Elle worked out a lot and would go to the gym together when they were dating. Elle also had what is considered the 'perfect' body.
OP added that she on the other hand was slim but was more on the flat side. OP never knew that her boyfriend had an issue with the way she looked since he would often compliment her. He had asked her to go to the gym with him once and she had refused.
OP thought everything was fine until she received a message from Elle asking about a workout plan. OP was confused since this was the first she was hearing of it.
Elle then proceeded to send screenshots of her conversation with OP's boyfriend where he asked her to develop a workout and meal plan for OP so that she would look more like Elle.
He had also told Elle that the whole thing was OP's idea.
He also asked Elle not to ask OP about this directly. Needless to say alarm bells started ringing in her head and she decided to reach out to OP herself and clarify the situation.
OP had not yet confronted her boyfriend about this but was appreciative of Elle for reaching out and telling her the truth.
OP questioned why her boyfriend was not happy with the way she looked and why he wold want to change her to look like his ex. She wondered if she was overreacting with regard to the situation.
In a short but sweet update, OP let the world know that she had now broken up.
Commenters were mortified on OP's behalf.
For most, if not all, this was a massive red flag and OP needed an exit strategy ASAP.
For most, Elle was the MVP in the situation.
