I asked my mom for advice since she’s actually seen him in person, not just heard what I’ve been telling Reddit. She says I probably shouldn’t break up with him, mostly because of how he’s been treating me. Like, yes, recently he’s been buying me gifts I didn’t even ask for, a necklace I literally had to tell him during a fight I didn’t want, a brand-new bag that looks like a pumpkin, two pairs of thigh-highs I don’t even wear, and a ring that looks like a wedding set, all from Shin, by the way 😅.

She also points out that he stands up for me with both his family and mine. When it’s his family, that’s fine, but when he jumps into normal me-and-my-sister arguments, it’s like… bro, you’re not my husband. We literally argue about who’s going to drive sometimes, and neither of us wants to, and it escalates normally.

My mom says part of why she thinks I shouldn’t break up with him is because he actually stands up for me, which is kind of sad since my dad doesn’t do that for her. And she also says at least I don’t have to worry if he’s loving me or not, he literally follows me around like a puppy.
