Boyfriend ended things after his parents 'adamantly rejected' his partner for planning to support older relatives financially.
I’m honestly broken. This is the man I envisioned my life with and really deeply loved. I have no idea how to move on or if I should wait for him to come to his senses. It’s so hard to give up on something we’ve worked so hard to build.One thing even more awful, though, over time, is trying to share a life with someone who still genuflects to someone else.
This all assumes his parents pushed him to his decision, though. He could also have decided for himself that he didn’t want a life partnership that came with your financial responsibilities. It’s easy to vilify the parents here, but think about it: Would they have been as effective at swinging his decision if he weren’t open to leaning that way?The commitment you have to your parents is many things — significant, honorable, your prerogative, unrelated to any emotional dependency.
It might be a long time before you’re able to envision a future without your ex-boyfriend in it. That’s normal. And again, it’s pretty gut-punchingly bad for a while. But with your boyfriend not fully committed, it was destined to break — either now, or in a few years, or when your parents’ savings ran out. “Now” is the least invested, least painful of those bad outcomes.
