He’s Currently Spending A Whole Week With His Girlfriend’s Parents For Christmas Even Though He’s Planning On Breaking Up With Her After The Holidays
A 30-year-old is dating his 25-year-old girlfriend, but he really doesn’t plan on being with her for much longer, and it makes him feel awful.
After thinking long and hard about their relationship, he just doesn’t believe they’re going to work out long-term.
His girlfriend is way more into him than he is into her, and in addition, they aren’t that similar at all.
Their personalities are dissimilar, their love languages are dissimilar, and all of these things are adding up to frequently cause issues between them.
“But the holidays suck for breaking up,” he explained. “I’m currently at my GF’s parents’ house for a week. Not gonna break up with her now.”
“Then we have to drive a day and three states away back to our apartment together. Then I have to break up with her? Right after the holidays?”
“After we exchanged gifts and everything? She doesn’t have a car, so then what… I pack up everything for her and drive her and her cat back to her parents?”
They both live together in a place where his girlfriend doesn’t have any friends or family members, so he has no idea how she would get home to her parents.
He thinks she could rent a truck to move her things, but he doesn’t consider that to be a nice thing to do to her, making her move all by herself without any help.

Another thing weighing him down is that he likes his girlfriend’s family and he’s been close to her siblings even before they began dating.
“So I can’t just dump her and peace… not that I’d want to,” he said. “We have a vacation planned coming up, and then a wedding.”
“It just never seems like a good time. Normally I wouldn’t drag things out but due to my closeness with her family and the fact she has never done anything to deserve any bad treatment or anything makes me want to make sure the breakup is as smooth as possible.”
Over the past few days, his girlfriend has said she loves him, she can’t live her life without him in it, and he means everything to her.
He has no idea how to reply because if he says anything in return that validates her feelings, he’s worried it’s just a lie.
“And the last couple of days feel like almost emotional manipulation,” he continued. “Like you can’t live without me?”
“Now I’m worried that if I do break up with her she will hurt herself or something. I shouldn’t have ever gotten in this relationship. I feel trapped.”
He’s planning on breaking up with her after the holidays since he is spending a whole week with his girlfriend’s parents, but he’s not really sure what to do.
