He Escaped A Cult With His Fiancée, But Now He’s Thinking He Might Want To Break Up With Her
A guy has been with his fiancée for a decade now, and they both grew up in a cult. They ended up escaping that cult by each other’s sides, and that harrowing experience really did bring them closer together.
Sadly, they’re drifting apart, though, and he might want to break up with her, as he feels she is taking advantage of him at this point in their relationship.
“There is real love between us,” he explained. “Real genuine love. She would never leave me; I can’t imagine her life without me. She’s my best friend.”
“…She’s the only person to…see me for who I am. I am fully aware that if I leave her, nobody else can possibly love me the way she does.”
The highlights of their relationship include him feeling comfortable being himself around her, and he also enjoys that they spend a lot of time doing silly, enjoyable things together.
She’s the kind of woman who is down for an adventure, too, like deciding to drive 6 hours to go visit a statue and then grabbing dinner in a new place.
He knows he won’t be able to find someone else to do things like this with him, and that’s part of the reason why she’s so special to him.
Although he envisioned spending the rest of his life with her, and there are good things in their relationship, the bad is outweighing the good.
In regards to the negative things, they never are intimate, and a major reason for that is how they were raised.

His fiancée is getting therapy to move past it, but it’s been tough for her to leave behind entirely.
Another negative is that she’s overweight, and he is too. But while he’s doing his best to drop the weight, especially since their physical relationship will improve that way, she isn’t interested in improving herself. Her weight also impacts her health, which is pretty much a disaster for them to deal with.
“Her health is a massive problem,” he said. “We spend tens of thousands of dollars every year dealing with her health.”
“I know she can’t help that. But she’s also not making it easier on herself by losing weight and exercising. I’m so tired of being her caretaker, I want her to take care of herself, but she won’t. We can’t even go on walks in the park.”
“She doesn’t work, doesn’t cook, doesn’t clean. Just sleeps all day and watches TV. Once in a while, she’ll get on a kick where she starts doing these things. She has depression, but so do I, and I push through it because I have to. She doesn’t. These issues have existed throughout our entire relationship. We’ve been to counseling, and it didn’t help. I honestly think I would be better without her, but also, I don’t want to be selfish.”
He’s conflicted on whether or not he should leave her behind and end things. What do you think?
