Greeting An Old Friend Leads To Cheating Accusation

I was standing on the street corner last Tuesday when my old college buddy, Victor, driving his car, rang the bell. “Hey James! Good to see you after a long time!” he shouted through the window. I less than immediately had a chance to reply; he parked the car, got out, and gave me a hug. We talked about life after college and exchanged what we had been doing lately.

I was so into our chat that I did not even catch sight of the people around me, much less see my boyfriend strolling by. He apparently saw everything and went by behind me without a sound.

Later in the day, my phone rang. It was him. I picked up the phone sounding as sweet as possible, knowing that his call was just when I was thinking about him.

“James,” he said in a low but furious manner that gives you a clear signal that he is about to bring in trouble, “so you are now having your men on the street corner for everybody to see, huh? Well done.”

That took me by surprise. “What?”

“You saw me walking past,” he went on, “but you pretended you did not know me just because of some guy in a Mercedes. Were you too shy to tell me that you were my girlfriend? Do you think I am stupid?

I didn’t even realize the guy’s car was a Mercedes. “Me? Saw you? Where? When? How?!”

He was convinced that he had found evidence of my unfaithfulness. He declared that he was “not going to put up with a girlfriend that has men” living “in her vicinity.”

I made it clear that I hadn’t met him, that Victor was merely a long-time acquaintance from college and that it was a very short talk. But jealousy overrides everything and reason is no more. He said he couldn’t stand me anymore. Just like that.

Can such a thing actually be a legitimate cause to break a two-year relationship? Was he perhaps, longing for some reason to quit? It is becoming very difficult for me to understand why he has cut all the communications by not picking up my calls and not replying to my texts. Should I continue asking him for forgiveness?
