Okay, so I was supposed to get married in June. I was having really bad anxiety about being around so many people and being the center of attention. I was also going through so many changes at once, graduating nursing school, moving into a new home, FH graduating and studying for exams, etc. I would come home everyday having a panic attack just thinking of such a big wedding. My FH and I talked and decided to have something smaller or go to the courthouse, everything was perfectly fine. A few days later, his family completely turned on me and started telling him it’s obvious I didn’t love him or want to marry him or I’d be running down the aisle to him. They told him this was supposed to be a happy and exciting time. He quickly sided with his family and told me to move out that we were over, so I did. His family will not speak a word to me, they have completely shunned me. Only one of his cousins have spoke to me and she told me “the family decided I didn’t love him enough” like they know anything about our relationship and like it is for them to decide? My FH and I never argued, we got along great. I do think this is not normal considering we have been together for years and we were still getting married just after exams and something SMALLER. So about 3 weeks after the break up, we went no contact for 1 week. Since then, we’ve talked every day.. HE calls me. I do not contact him first. He tells me he loves me, misses me but he tells me he is not in a good place right now for a relationship with everything that has happened. He says he knows he is hurting me and he wants to be with me but he’s not in a good place. He won’t tell his family we talk and see each other. It’s almost like he’s hiding me. Since the break up, he has spent all of his time studying and then I went on vacation and he left for vacation the day after I got home. So we haven’t spent too much time together. He returns this weekend and I have a whole week to figure things out before I start my new job. What should I do? Should I be patient or end it? I’m confused.

    I feel like I've read this story before but it isn't in your post history.. I feel like you made a new account because this story is WAY too similar to be coincidental. I bring this up because if it is you then that means you've been struggling with this for quite a while and he hasn't improved at all. I really hope you cut and run.

    This is the same story and I hate it for her. I think he just wanted a way out and he got one. They are young and he's just keeping her around because he can. I know it hurts but she needs to let him go. Even if she wants him back she needs to cut him off until he can prove to her he really wants her. But as long as she keeps in contact and lets him come around when he wants he's not gonna do anything different.

    I am sorry you are hurting and I am sorry things are so far from how you saw them. I will say I would have ditched a graduation to study for the bar if it was three days away or broguht my study materials with me (which I did for someone's wedding which was like a month before the bar) because the bar is not easy, you have to study and it's expensive and if you fail you can't do the job you spent the last 7 years (if you include undergrad) for. If he isn't being clear with you about his intentions it is time to move on. You don't need a million reasons .

    If he has to hide you, it's time to pack up the bags and go. I am truly sorry for what has happened to you in this situation. It makes me genuinely upset. I can't imagine the hurt you feel, along with the stress of your every day life that may cause tensions for you. He clearly isn't interested in putting you first. He is putting his family first. That's really weak and cold on his part. I really can't believe this. I don't mean to be harsh, but I think you dodged a bullet. I mean if he is letting his family walk all over you and you aren't even married yet, imagine the hell that would have continued! I know it's going to be hard, but I think it's time to focus on YOU! Focus on your advancement in life, and getting back to yourself. True love will find you. Unless he tells his family to shut up and he stays away from them and proves to you he's ALL FOR YOU, I can't imagine this situation looking up. I am really sorry, once again. Smiley heart

    He chose his family over you, the person who would’ve been his wife. This means even if you do get back together and marry, his family is still going to come first. He’ll always side with them.

    Do you really want someone like this? Who decides they don’t love you anymore because his family swayed his opinion of you? You’ve been together 6 years, is that not proof enough of your love and commitment? He threw it away over NOTHING. He scorched your relationship over this.

    If you had kids with this person imagine the kind of life you would have. His family would hate you but demand to see your children, and once again your husband would side with them.

    He’s shown you how much your loyalty and your love meant to him. Tell him to kick rocks.
