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.
