Am i wrong for wanting to end my relationship over family/financial differences
Hi,
I have been thinking about this for a quite a while. I love my man so much but the more I hear about his family situation - the more I want to end our relationship.
To preface, he’s a great boyfriend. He treats me very well and loves me very much. He also takes care of his family. He helps with bills, food, etc. I find this very admirable since I do the same for my family.
BUT. His mom has been unemployed for several years and it seems that she has no plans to work again. She has been “borrowing” money (around $1000 a month) for years now. She spends this money on drugs, gambling, etc. He does not make a lot of money and he barely has any money for himself after giving her money. She is clearly taking advantage of him.
I have brought this up several times and he doesn’t have much to say. He agrees that she is taking advantage of him but doesn’t say if he’ll put an end to this. I really love him but I don’t think I can be with someone who is constantly enables this type of behavior. I also wouldn’t want someone like this being my mother in law. Thoughts? I feel that I am valid but want to hear from other people. Opinions, experiences, etc. thank you
