my boyfriend and i broke up two weeks ago.we had been dating for two years. he tells me his family dont like me.what should i do?advize me

my boyfriend and i have been dating for two years. since we started dating the problem i have been facing has been about hs family. hs family had storys about my past experience with where i used to work i made mistakes yes but some were lies. i convinced my boyfriend with evidence that some information was false. he accepted it but he kept insisting that hs family hates me and dont want hm to marry me.he kept the relationship going for the last two years breaking up twice in between but the bottom line was hs family rejection of me. recently things were going well he introduced me to two of his cousins i then called him two days later i kiddingly asked hm hw hs cousins reacted wen they met me and he told me one of them had to call a certain cousin of hs and tell hm at last he had met me. the other cousin was harsh with hm till he had to lie it wasnt me he introduced. i asked hm what would happen if they completely rejected me and he said he wouldnt force them on me and he would live without marrying since he has a daughter and also he wouldnt support me in them loving me. i got angry and i asked hm what the future of the relationship was.he said he had to think about it for a long time but then i told hm not to string me along. next day i asked hm to visit me at my home so we could share each others company he replied me with an sms saying he wont come to my home and he doesnt feel worth anymore. i called hm up to explain hs sms he just it was best if the relationship ended cause he doesnt want to be with me yet i can never be his. after two weeks i sent hm an apology letter for putting hm on the spot and how i accept hs loyality to hs family and hs decision for us to break up but he hasnt replied me nor called me. please advise me on this dilemma am facing. thanks hapy.

His family from what you've told sounds like they love to make drama.Think about your life for the last two years with this guy.It's been nothing but fighting with his family,stress and you constantly having to prove who you really are to him.You don't need that in your life.It also sounds like he is very heavily influenced by his family..that will probaly never change unless he grows a backbone.Girl I think you should move on.He's only going to cause you more heartache.Take this chance while your not together and go out and date.Find that person who's gonna love you for you no matter what his family tells him.You are deserving of a good relationship.Good Luck

You should find another boyfriend. There are lots of guys, you don't want a loser like that.

Hun, no one can properly help or advise you that has to come from within yourself. Try to relate yourself sit with notepad and write yourself what was positive and what was negative about your relationship. If he really cares about you or loves you his family's thoughts about you should mean anything to him shouldn't he be old enough to make his own decisions. Two years is alot to put into a relationship but weigh out your pro and cons with your feeling and what kind of person you think he is and decide for yourself and decide with your heart nothing else. I you love something set it free if it comes back to you its your if it doesn't it never was ment to be. Good luck!

I disagree... Unless you mean that noone can decide for you. Taking counsel of a number of trusted people is VERY useful. Taking counsel from someone who isn't part of the problem is even more useful since they can usually give you an unbiased view of the situation.

(Please take my comment with a grain of salt... I DO make my living helping people.)

That is what I mean noone can decide for you the final decision on what you do is always yours. I understand what you are saying. I had the same problem with family not accepting me, I am now happily married to himj for 26 years. No they still don't like me and neither of us care. We love and care about each other that is what matters.

If he really wanted to be with you, then he would, regardless of what the family might have to say about it.

If your boyfriend has left you because of his family then it probably would have never worked out for you. I know how hard t is to break up especially after such a long time and you will not want to hear this just now but deep down you know that he was not worth the love you were giving him. One day Mr. right will turn up, you have to believe that. It happened for me.

Good you accepted the deeds what you have done. then stand for few days and spend time to regain your energy lossed due to contnous roaming thoughts about your love and your boy friend. when you are living in duality you wont decide the fact and you wont get accurate results. spend time alone in nature for some time daily with involving garding or helping to pet animals ,then your stress will be reduced , During the time experiment it on your thoughts by contnous observing just like an visitor without involving in it, concentrate on your footing on walking in the garden or when you are alone ,concentrate on ever action carried by u for some time , with in short time all your problems will be solved.
wish you a happy life as u like.it..

What? "living in duality"? "time experiment"? "Concentrate on your footing"? This doesn't make sense... but sounds like it might come from someone who isn't a native American speaker.

I don't see the dilemma. He's made his choice and it seems that you haven't accepted it yet.

Thank your lucky stars that you discovered this trait of his before you were too intertwined.

Might I suggest that you grieve the loss and then move on... There are better matches out there for you!

I would say forget about this boy. Everyone makes mistakes,and yes your past is going to influence your future, but you shouldnt be judged on that alone. It seems like his family never really gave you a chance to show them who you really are, they had already judged you prior to getting to know you. After 2 years if he ended it, it wasnt meant to be, you deserve someone that is going to love you for you, and not judge you on your past and prior mistakes. Don't get me wrong family is important and they are the ones that will always be there, but his family is wrong in this instance, and he should of stood up for you a long time ago, and tried to get his family to give you a decent chance. I wouldnt worry about it anymore, whats done is done, that past cannot be changed and youll learn from past mistakes and be stronger. Everything happens for a reason and although you may be hurt, or upset or angry rite now this situation will only make you stronger and wiser in the future.

Hope this Helps :)

You need to find a guy with a nice family that will love you unconditionally. Take some time to move on and then get back out there and find the right guy with the right family, because no matter what your past is you don't deserve a bunch of stuck up in laws that can get their heads out of their.....

really the best thing you could do in your situation is know that it is the past and move on with out him. If he is to embarrassed of you to tell his own family its not his girlfriend he is introducing its just a friend then he isn't worth it. no one should have to deal with someone not appreciating them. if he broke it off because it wasn't working the first time you dated why would it the second or third?
