Did my friend do the right thing w her ex?
My friend went through a really hard time She broke up with her ex but they still stayed in touch because she was very attached to him attachment issues.. She used to beg him to talk to her, even though he got into a new relationship just a few days after their breakup. They talked almost every day, but whenever he went to meet his new girlfriend, he would block her. Once he got back, he’d unblock her like nothing happened.
He knew everything about her and toxic family situation & one night mom had a heart attack angioplasty. yet she had some complications doctors said she might not survive for long. Her dad’s side of the family said they wouldn’t take responsibility for her or her siblings if anything happened to her mom. So they started forcing her into marriage, even though she was still studying.
Her dad didn’t care he even said he had a meeting on the day of her mom’s surgery and just left like whaaat Her family started physically abusing her and said if she didn’t agree to the proposal, they’d stop her studies. She had no choice and finally said yes to the guy her family picked. She told all of this to her ex. He told her not to get married, that she was too young, and to try to talk to her family. She tried, but when things got worse, she told him, “I can’t take it anymore, I’m saying yes.” And he just replied, “I guess we should stop talking now.”
She felt shattered like was the only person who truly understood her, or at least she thought so. She didn’t want to lose him too, so she went to meet the guy her family chose and explained everything about the pressure, the abuse, her sick mother. And surprisingly, he turned out to be really understanding. He helped delay the proposal in a way that didn’t make things worse at home. She told her ex about it, hoping he’d understand or be supportive. Instead, he blocked her for two days and went to meet his girlfriend.
She got worried and messaged him on Instagram to ask if he was okay. His girlfriend saw the message. Then he texted my friend horrible thingscalled her an attention seeking used a really bad word next to attention starts with w like what? said she made up the family drama for sympathy, and blocked her again. She was literally so heartbroken. She cried so much telling me about it. She never opens up about her family to anyone except him, and he just threw it all back at her like it meant nothing. It’s been like two weeks now. She hasn’t messaged him or talked to him. She blocked him everywhere too.
Did she do the right thing?
