He and I have different political views, which is fine. His family also has different beliefs than I do. His mom blocked me on Facebook. His dad said that all people who believe what I do are “ignorant, brainless sheeple”. They all think that I’m going to hell, apparently.
I love him, but I can’t accept the hurt that come from his family, and consequently, him. Because he defends them and takes their side.
Should you break up with someone because of their family? The saying goes that you marry the person AND their family, right?
I feel like I’m waiting for my heart to align with my head. Until the day I truly come to terms with the idea that this is destined not to work.

ReplyI was in a similar situation before. My ex hated my parents for no reason. He thought they were awful people and turned me against them. He made awful jokes about them too. In a way I understand how hurt you are. I also understand your bf taking his parents side. They raised him, they’re still his parents. Sometimes that’s just how it works. I wish I could tell you what to do but this doesnt have an easy solution. You gotta see if you’re willing to stick this one out through the pain you feel and the hurt that follows with their actions.
ReplyThe difference here that I hadn’t said anything bad about his parents. Only wanted to get to know them and be close with them. I hate the idea of division and discomfort when it comes to family. Here’s the thing: I would never ask him to choose me over his family. But I do think that if he truly wants a future with me, he needs to stick up for me. We need to be a United front. If someone is mean to me because we have different political beliefs- that should bother him, I’d think.
If he wants a future with me, I should become his new family. Otherwise, perhaps he’s better off with someone more compatible with him as far as where he and his family lie politically. Because it’s not fair to me.
ReplyI do see your point there. You guys have to be a team and even if you both have different views, you should respect each other and try to come to some sort of consensus. Know your worth and don’t be afraid to end things even if it hurts, if it’s what’s best for you.
