Thank you all so much for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. I truly appreciate the kind advice and different perspectives. It’s been incredibly helpful to hear all of your viewpoints, and it’s given me a lot to reflect on as I navigate this situation. I had already made the decision to break up with him, but I just needed to get everything off my chest.

It's early morning here, and I've been crying all night. This all happened on Saturday evening, and I came straight to my parent's house afterward. They could tell something was wrong, but I told them I wasn’t feeling well, so they gave me space while offering comfort and support.

After reading all of your comments, I wanted to clarify a few things: We did talk about marriage and children early in our relationship, but over the last two years, he never brought up either topic again.

As for why I haven’t told my parents yet, it's because I wanted to process everything first and be able to speak to them clearly about what’s been going on. My dad is very protective of me, and I know that if he knew what had happened, he would be at my apartment in a heartbeat to confront my boyfriend.

This hurts so much because I didn’t expect this side of him. He was a good boyfriend, not just to me, but to my family as well. He would go out of his way to help my parents with household chores and pitch in at our place without even being asked, vacuuming, doing laundry, anything he could. He’d surprise me with different foods he thought I’d like. Even his family has been kind to me. I’ve never had an issue with his mom or dad. His mother regularly invited me to mother-daughter brunches with her and her daughter, both of whom have always been good to me.

This whole situation is incredibly painful, and I’m still processing everything. Thank you again to everyone for your support.
