Her Boyfriend Dumped Her Right After His Mom’s Funeral But Then He Expected Her To Pretend To Still Be With Him In Front Of His Family
A 24-year-old woman was dating her boyfriend who is the same age as her, up until he recently broke up with her in a pretty terrible way.
One weekend ago, her boyfriend’s mom sadly passed away after battling an illness that was chronic, and then her boyfriend’s family insisted on paying for her flight to Illinois to be there for the funeral.
“On my first day there my bf of two years dumped me,” she explained. “His reason was that he claims to have JUST learned that I don’t want to birth kids.”
“I’ve mentioned this in the past and even went through the beginning stages of donating my eggs because “I am not going to use them” and he said he would be fine with not having kids.”
“I understand kids are an important topic for a lot of people, but it didn’t seem that way in our relationship up until now.”
Not surprisingly, the remainder of her time spent in that state alongside her now ex-boyfriend and his family was incredibly unpleasant for her.
Her boyfriend insisted that she needed to pretend to still be with him to the rest of his family so it would not “distract from the loss of his mom.”
She kept her sobbing to only behind closed doors, and she was able to pull herself together and be there for his entire family.
Looking back on last weekend, she thinks that it was really not fair of her boyfriend to make that demand of her, and she does feel regretful over going along with his plan.

“I’m really hurt that our two-year relationship ended so abruptly and at the most inopportune time,” she said.
“I don’t really understand why now and why so serious about the need to have kids. I think this might be a cop-out for something bigger that he isn’t telling me.”
Complicating things further, her ex-boyfriend attempted to kiss her while in Illinois when they were apart from his family.
He also was being flirtatious, so she wound up asking him if he really did want to stop being with her.
Her boyfriend maintained breaking up was for the best, even though he didn’t actually want to dump her, but he insisted they were no longer compatible.
While she is sympathetic to her ex over the loss of his mom, she does think he was simply trying to manipulate her.
Now they’re back home in the apartment they still need to share until the lease ends in 4 more months, but she doesn’t have any interest in continuing to live under the same roof as him if they’re broken up.
She’s positive that if she does stay at their place, her ex is going to keep going with his confusing flirtatiousness, and that’s not fair to her, and it hurts her to leave him behind for good but it seems best. She’s concerned about what people in their lives will think of her if she does move out, as she doesn’t want anyone to think that she’s a terrible person for moving out after the death of her ex’s mom.
“Any advice on how to avoid a half-baked relationship (all the perks, none of the commitments) while living with an ex if that’s what I decide to do?” she asked.
