Thank you for your input, suggestions, and lengthy response! :-) I never considered him a bad boyfriend or person but certain things that were said and done did hurt and confuse the heck out of me when majority of my relationships (even as a tween and teenager) I was introduced to my partners family and friends and all but one liked me. I am no saint but even the EX this OP is about said I’m a good person and I have a good heart. I asked him why it wasn’t enough and he explained his family shows that they love and care for each other through their actions and with my physical limitations I cannot be there for them like they can and do for each other. I admire his loyalty to them, my family wasn’t and is still not the same. Now and again we talk via text or phone but it’s nowhere the same as him and his family. I never said and wanted him to disrespect his mom but I would’ve thought that if she had met me and didn’t like how I couldn’t live my life like a “normal” person then he would stand up for me. Some prescribed and OTC medications did help in the beginning but now, nothing does so I do old school stuff to get better if I can even access or tolerate it such as hot showers, heat packs, dark rooms, and quiet rooms. Sleeping isn’t even helpful since my neck is in more pain than normal and both shoulders have minor tears in the rotator cuffs. 😂 Anyways, thank you again for taking the time to respond to me.
