‘I found out my girlfriend isn’t a redhead – now I want to break up with her’

A man has revealed that he’s considering breaking up with his girlfriend after he found out “she isn’t a natural redhead.”

The anonymous man explained that he met his current girlfriend around six months ago, and they hit it off immediately.

He thought he hit the jackpot because not only is she “loving, caring, optimistic, beautiful – basically the entire package”, but she also has long red hair – or so he thought.

The 31-year-old revealed that all of his ex-partners had red hair and that he’s just not attracted to people with any other hair colour.

So, when she mentioned that she needed to get her roots coloured, he was baffled.

He said: “She showed me the roots of her hair, which were hidden right at the very top, and told me she wasn’t a natural redhead and thought I would have realised by now.

“The colour of her roots is a dusty brown colour that I don’t find attractive at all.”

Taken aback by the news, he flipped out.

The man added: “I asked her why she had lied to me, and she said she had never claimed to be naturally redheaded.

“She knew about my attraction to redheads, but said she figured it wasn’t that big of a deal.”

But after confiding in his friend, the boyfriend was told he was being “shallow”.

He took to Reddit to ask users whether he was overreacting by wanting to break up with her.

One person said: “Break up with her… sounds like she’s better off without a shallow guy like you.”

Another said: “If you can’t get over the fact that she is not a natural redhead, she’s the one dodging a bullet.”

“You don’t deserve her let her find someone who loves her,” remarked a third.

But another said: “Everyone is entitled to their own preferences….. if this is a deal-breaker for you that’s for you to decide.”
