We've all had those moments in which we reflect on a time in our past and wonder, "What was I thinking?"
Well, in TikToker @chronicallychill's case, that question should most definitely be, "What were they thinking?!"
In an eight second video that's been viewed 1.8 million times, the creator Chantel had the words, "Remembering how my ex took me out to dinner with his mum so they could both try to convince me to let him cheat on me for his birthday," on the screen.
Check out the video below.

Chantel posted a follow-up video to further explain that the three of them were at dinner when they brought up birthday celebration plans. They all lived in Australia where the legal drinking age is 18, and Chantel's boyfriend wanted to go out for his birthday. As she was only 15, she agreed that he should go have a great time.
That's when things got interesting.
She shared:
"He and his mom had obviously spoken about this before because they were on the same page and they were like, 'Well he wants to have like the full club experience.'"
"And I was like, 'What's the full club experience?'"
"And they're like, 'Yeah, to be able to hook up with girls and take girls home.'"
She continued:
"What do you mean? Um, you have a girlfriend."
"I thought he was breaking up with me right then and there with his mum and his mum's boyfriend, just at dinner."
"I was like, 'Are you serious? This is how you're gonna do it?'"
She laughed that he wasn't breaking up with her - he just wanted her permission to cheat.
Chantel went on:
"And I was like, 'No, I'm not actually Ok with that.'"
"And he and his mum were like baffled, they were like, 'Are you serious?'"
"I was like, 'Yeah, no, strangely enough I am serious, I don't want you to cheat on me at the clubs.'"
Apparently that answer didn't sit well with the others as they tried to compromise.
"How about just for his birthday he can cheat on you at the clubs?"
It was still a hard 'no' from Chantel, and they just couldn't believe it.
Check out the full story in her TikTok video below.
Viewers were just as dumbfounded.

At the end of her follow-up video, Chantel said that her boyfriend and his mom continued to try and pressure her throughout the evening. Her boyfriend even said she was "embarrassing" him for turning down the proposition in front of his mom.
She finished:
"I do want you to know he was already cheating on me, like a lot."
"And he continued to cheat on me after this, so I don't know why he was so set on getting my permission about the clubs."
"I don't understand men."
We're glad she stood her ground.
P.S. They broke up about a month later.
