Yesterday Evening, Her Boyfriend Sat Her Down And Told Her That If She Can Break Up With Him Without Causing Problems, He’ll Pay Her 25k

A 30-year-old woman has been in a relationship with her 31-year-old boyfriend for the last 5 years.
Yesterday evening, her boyfriend sat her down while they were eating dinner together and said to her that he’s not happy with their relationship.
He laid it all out for her that they have been going through a tough time for too long and although they tried therapy, it hasn’t helped them at all.
They’ve tried to make changes in their lives, but that still has not made her boyfriend feel better about them being together.
He essentially revealed to her that he has been very unhappy for a while now, and he no longer feels like he’s in love with her.
“I have fallen out of love with you and I don’t want to continue the relationship,” he explained to her.
“I know this may be really upsetting or shocking, and I want to offer something to make this change more acceptable.”
“If we can break up without fighting, drama, freaking out, threats, breaking stuff, and a simple move out I want to give you 25k.”
“I am not trying to trivialize our relationship or diminish how much value I feel for you, but I am trying to provide something that makes the drama of transitioning into being single more easy to accept.”

After he had that conversation with her, he left the place that they share together and went to spend time with his mom and dad.
She decided to talk this interesting situation over with a few friends of hers, and all of these women agree that it’s crazy he wants to walk away from the relationship and pay her that kind of money to make her feel better.
Obviously, this isn’t a normal part of breaking up at all, to just hand someone money in order to ensure a smooth transition into the single life.
Unfortunately, she’s still very much so in love with her boyfriend although they have had a lot of problems.
“I love my boyfriend despite our issues (which I’m not minimizing we do have a lot) and am genuinely afraid of what life would be like without him,” she said.
“Plus I feel like putting the price on a breakup weirdly cheapens the whole relationship. Last I am very frustrated and annoyed with the fact that he would use this to police my emotions as I feel I have a right to be frustrated and freaked out during a breakup.”
“It almost feels like gaslighting a bit to tell me that if we can breakup without any repercussions on his end I will get a payday.”
She believes the reason her boyfriend is offering her money is over a situation that happened in their past that nearly led to them breaking up before, and she’s positive he wants to avoid what went down then in their current reality.
She feels quite blindsided by her boyfriend’s decision to end their relationship, and she really did not see this coming.
“I don’t know I am a mess and this whole thing is so unusual that I really just don’t know how to process it,” she continued.

Earlier this morning, she called the company she works for to let them know what she would not be coming in today.
Since then, she has been crying non-stop while attempting to work through what to do from here.
