I just wanted to talk this out with you ladies because even though I know the right thing to do was follow my intuition, there’s a part of me that just feels bad enforcing my boundaries.

Won’t give too many details in case the dude in question follows this sub but I knew an acquaintance who gave me bad vibes from the very start (love bombing, way too overly friendly) and so I kept my distance. So then after that he seemed fine so I let my guard down and was just friendly whenever we crossed paths. Then recently it felt like he was trying to triangulate me with his girlfriend so I completely shut him down the next time I saw him. As in when he tried to talk I was very rude and stopped convo.

I know following my intuition was the right thing to do, I know I’m not wrong about the triangulation. But that moment where I shut him out keeps playing in my head and I feel like I was being mean to someone who talks to me (even though all I did was enforce boundaries that I won’t be part of his game).

Also side note, there was a part of me that wondered whether I should try to rescue the gf or at least hint but honestly I don’t want to get involved at all.
