Her Parents Want To Adopt Her Former Fiancé, And He Even Lived In Her Childhood Bedroom After They Split Up
A 24-year-old girl was with her 24-year-old former fiancé for 7 long years. He ended up proposing to her close to a year ago, but this May, they chose to split up.
Throughout her relationship with him, though, he was always exceptionally close with her parents, but he had a special bond with her dad.
Her parents acted like he was a child of their own, and her parents really wanted him to be a part of their own family.
Her former fiancé even went with them on pretty much all of their family vacations for the last 7 years.
“It was a very tough decision to end our relationship, but we both agreed it was for the best,” she explained.
“He moved out while I finished up our lease term. His plans fell through last minute, and he moved in with my parents for a little while, finding a new place.”
“Obviously, I felt a little weird about him moving into my childhood bedroom and being at my parent’s house a fair amount.”
Having her former fiancé living with her parents certainly wasn’t easy on her, though she managed.
Her former fiancé finally moved out of her mom and dad’s place at the beginning of last month, and she figured she would never see or hear from him again.

Well, she was wrong. Yesterday evening, her mom and dad asked her to come to their house to have dinner with them, and during dinner, they shared some shocking news with her.
“They sat me down and explained that since the wedding was off and my ex-fiancé wasn’t going to be a part of the family by marriage, they wanted to adopt him,” she said.
“They asked him last week, and he agreed as long as I’m ok with it. I’m definitely not! I told them that I’m not really comfortable with that. And they started telling me that I’m keeping them away from their son (wtf!) And that I need to tell him that I’m ok with it so that we can all be a *real* family.”
After this eye-opening dinner with her mom and dad, she’s left wondering if she is being terrible for not wanting her own parents to adopt her former fiancé. Her mom and dad really do adore him, and she thinks that perhaps she shouldn’t be standing in the way of them wanting him to be in their family.
“I’m also worried I’m being selfish by worrying about how to explain this to future partners,” she concluded.
Do you think she should give her mom and dad the go-ahead to adopt her former fiancé?
