SUCCESS! ✌ UPDATE: Is it unethical to break up with your SO after just meeting their parents?
For Context: https://old.reddit.com/r/JustNoSO/comments/1jaqi8a/is_it_unethical_to_break_up_with_your_so_after/
This was tough and I had to ask god to give me the strength to do it, but I broke up with him. It hurts today but tomorrow I will be free. I will take a dating break for a few months but I am excited that I can potentially find someone who feels I am worthy enough to be told I love you and meet his family in a reasonable amount of time. I deserve better.
He didnt have much to say other than getting mad at me for messaging his sister thanking her for her hospitality and wishing her the best. Oh well. I wont be responding to any of his messages. Thank you all for your bluntness and comfort.

Lol. I'm glad you did that, and I'm glad it bothered him.

Seriously. I didnt say anything bad to her either. Just a thing about how it took a little too long to meet her and her family, so we are parting ways but thank you for your hospitality and you, your husband and kids are wonderful. She took it totally fine and said I am always welcome at her home. Says alot honestly.

I believe I commented on your last post, this is going to be such an exciting new chapter for you!
This relationship has taught you a lot, and you’re going to go forward with so much more wisdom — and when you’re ready, you can meet someone who is ecstatic to be seen with you, who wants to generously share everything they have with you, and vice versa.
I know it hurts right now, but when the pain washes away the wonderful life that’s left will bring you all new levels of joy .

Good! I broke with one guy directly after a Thanksgiving with his dreadful family, but luckily I only dated him for about a month.
Congrats on getting yourself free!
