after 1.5 years of relationship, boyfriend (20m) gave up on the idea of marrying me because apparently his parents won't agree.

yeah, nothing much to say, the title says it all.

​

he said it on my face directly yesterday (he had been giving hints, i was pretty blind to not connect the dots) according to him, his parents won't agree for the marriage and that he'd like to marry by his parent's choice in his own caste as he can't say no to them or can't make them agree for marrying him to me. (diff castes or some underlying reason idk)

​

i thought this relationship was going to be my end game, we were friends for a long time and were talking a lot before coming into the relationship eventually so it's a lot for me to move on, any tips?

​

i always went back to him/accepted him even though i was always feeling like that he wasn't giving me enough time, i wasn't feeling prioritised for over 6 months, a major breakup happened during sep-oct 2025 due to a reason I can't specify here but it was a lot for me to process and tbh my mental health regarding this relationship was fucked pretty much since then only still I chose to go back to him yeah I'm very stupid because i genuinely loved him.

​

he promised me a lot of stuff, after coming out of a toxic relationship, he felt like my safe space, my home which has now abandoned me. i shared literally everything about my life to him, my deepest fears or whatever I liked the most. I always asked God for us to end up together whenever I had the chance.

woh kehte hai na “when you aren't fed love with silver spoons in early phases of life, you’re ready to even lick it off sharp knives when you grow up” sahi kehte h.

TLDR : bf of 1.5yr gave up on the idea of marrying me because he doesn't wanna say no to his parents’choice in the future (we’re both from diff castes)
