The Barbie movie has quickly become part of the zeitgeist of this era and it's been hard to avoid unless you've been living under a very not pink rock.

This Redditor however was hit by the movie's presence a little too hard claiming that he had been broken up with because of it.

Reddit

When OP and his girlfriend started dating it was all sunshine and rainbows until Barbie came along and ruined it all.

OP thought he had perhaps not reacted 'correctly' to the movie.

Reddit

He said that the two had become physically and emotionally distant these past few weeks and had cancelled a road trip that they were meant to go on.

Until suddenly his girlfriend decided to pack up and leave. She said that she was unhappy with the relationship and didn't like the 'quality of his compliments'.

In a later edit, he clarified that he didn't force her to meet his emotional needs when she refused to go on the trip to his parents.

He also said that he was unclear on what her expectations were from the relationship until it was too late.

OP felt that he had held up his end of the bargain and wasn't sure what she expected from the relationship.

OP finally admitted after some comments that perhaps Barbie wasn't entirely to blame for the relationship breaking down. 

Reddit

He also admitted that only a few months of dating and then moving in together was perhaps not a great idea.

Commenters wondered if rushing into the relationship was what caused some panic on her end.

Others suggested Oppenheimer but hindsight is 20/20.

But OP indeed does always have beach to fall back on.

Reddit

Those not cracking jokes pointed out that perhaps the relationship was best put to rest if it couldn't stand the test of a movie.
