Hi,
I have a situation encountered by my friend. I felt sad for her situation because I really felt how she loss her boy friend because of her fault. Now, I don't think so if ii is really a valid reason or not. Just help me!, She need my opinion, and i said that let me think first before you decide what you can do. We need to ask the others opinion or insight.
Her boyfriend broke up their relationship because he know that my friend belong to broken family. for 1 year of their relationship that time her boyfriend ask why he never experience meeting the family of her girlfriend. She doubt to tell the truth because the boy does not want her girlfriend have a broken family. Then, she don't have the choice but to tell the truth. and when the guy listen about what she explain. He cannot accept it. Then he decide to broke up their relationship.
Do you think is is true love?when you know all about the background of your girlfriend or boyfriend you make a way to broke up that relationship?
Do you think that its the fault of the girl?
give me an idea.
Thank you!

First: The girl should tell the boy right from the beginnig about her family because now I think the boy is feeling awkward as the girl has kept the secrets about her family with him so he must be feeling hurt.
Second: The girl is not to be blame if her family is a broken one, She is not the reason for the break up and her parents are surely maybe so the girl is not at fault is having a broken family.
Third: When there is love then religion, difference in family, background are not very important than the feelings they have shared for one year. One year is not one day or one week so this one year is full with wonderful moments which I am both will not be able to forget easily so they have to act as mature people and talk over this matter again as Love is greater than anything.
I am with someone for 3 years and my family are against but still we are together because we believe that the 3 years are wonderful and cannot be forgotten so easily so we are giving everyone time to assimilate our love and to understand us.
Your friend must be feeling very bad and angry too as the boy with whom she was and whom she thought is the right one has broken up with her just because his girlfriend has a broken family.
Maybe afterall the boy wants to back up in the relationship and wish this will be a good excuse to break up with your friend. So all they both need to do is to talk finally with each other if this is possible or just forget him because the girl was never responsible for the break up of her family.

Hello dear, I also hope that their relationship will not end for trivial matters as a relation means a lot for a couple. I can understand the wonderful moments they had in the year they were together.
Sometimes its good as she is crying, she can get over all the negative feelings she had about herself being guilty for hiding her background with her boyfriend and at the same time she may feel better if she cries as she will let go all the painful moments she has been having recently.
No one is fully guilty about something, circumstances also play an important role. So she should stop blaming herself, she is a confident young girl and should remain strong in these situations.
I hope and wish the best for the couple.

Hi,
Yah yo have a point. I tell my friend already about your suggestions and all the suggestions of my friends here in mylot. I'm very thankful for those responses that made us easy to take an action for whatever it is.
We decide to talk the guy one on one, so that they have a time to talk and discuss their problems regarding that matter. I really felt bad about that, and I/m not happy right now, because my friend is still crying. i don't know what to do. I just let let cry so that the pain would easily pass away, and when they talk they have the right decisions made.
I hope that they don't just let their relationship gone, for a simple reasons.
Thank you!

Being from a broken family doesn't mean that your friend will also do the same in her own family in the future. Her bf is narrow-minded on this aspect of life. Its not true love that her bf feels for her. Your friend doesn't deserve her bf, she deserves a better man. I will not stick to a guy like that. I have read a true to life story before, the guy also breaked up with her gf just because she is from a broken family. He married another girl which is from a good family. After 6 years, his marriage was a disaster and he was separated from his wife. One day, he was walking down the street when he saw his former college classmate. His classmate was married to his ex-gf (from the broken family)! He was disappointed because his ex-gf is married for also 6 years and has a happy family, unlike him that has a broken family. He regret what he has done in the past for leaving her ex-gf which should turn out to be a good wife in the future.

What do you mean by broken family? Her parent divorced? No matter what it is, I don't think it was her fault. Her ex boyfriend was the one who do the wrong reason to break up. I think he's not mature enough to love someone or understand the meaning of love.
Tell your friend to cheer up. It was good that now she knows that the guy don't love her the way she deserve too. Someday she'll find someone that can love her no matter what background she came from.

i think that was a very shallow reason for the bf to break up with your friend, but your friend should have been honest from the start about her family background.
i dont know if it is really love on the part of the bf because why cant he accept the girl just because she came from a broken family? maybe the bf aside form not wanting a gf with broken family also got more upset because your friend was not honest from the start...?
i think your friend should give her bf sometime to think... if he really loves her, he will understand her situation and they will probably get back together again. but if not then i think your friend should move on, somebody will love her for who she really is and where she came from.

Hi Maria, First of all that is no reason for a break up. If the guy really loves the girl no matter what the situation he would accept her. In this case , even more the reason. He should be more supportive if he really loves her. Moreover she is not responsible for her broken family.
Are you sure you have the entire story from both sides. I feel there is something missing there. Probably you need to speak to you friend and find out. Good luck.

mymaria,
I am going to be a little straight on the both of them here and I hope that there is no offense taken.
First of all, who does not have a past, and as imperfect as everyone including me some of them are just not even worth to mention. However, I hope that your friend should realize that as much as honesty being one of the essential foundations of a strong and growing relationship, she should not withheld or hesitant to share her dysfunctional family when the occasion arises. There is nothing shameful or wrong of her own doing when the previous generation(s) could not work out their own problem(s) and stay together.
I am sure that as much as being committed and faithful to one's partner in a relationship, there is nothing more less important than being honest with one another. It is just a given truthful fact, I mean let's face it, how can there be trust in the absence of honesty. Consequently, how can one love fully without trust in the first place.
Not being judgmental here, but I am of the other opinion that her boyfriend is not that mindful of her broken family. Instead, he is just being concern at how she had carried herself all these while prior to this "great" revelation. Being over zealous and protective can sometimes make one become hideous and most of all conspicuous. In all, I felt that she should have been more forthcoming in the first place and not try to conceal or put some icing on to cover up the facts. It is just like telling the other party that he cannot be trusted or that his character is not up to it. So, as a boyfriend I would prefer that a relationship should not have started in the first place or allowed to continue if she is so unwilling and non trusting of my character, period.
As for the boy, where your girlfriend had not done what I have mentioned afore, then you will be facing with a character that can only openly declare that they can accept everything and anything by hearsay and not in deed. So, when the truth is disclosed they suddenly find that their heart was simply not that broad but like the constriction in a clinical thermometer - can never be the same when tested. I am sure you will meet these soothsayers in your walk, every now and then. So, let's just drop him and not hurt ourselves further when they cannot be trusted to be magnanimous and most of all understanding. How do you think a relationship could survive when it cannot even grow mutually?
In both cases, it could be unsettling for everyone and I am not sure as to what is the best advocate here when there is just simply a lot of facts being missing here. Have a talk with her and I am sure amidst of her accounts I am pretty sure the answers are there blatantly to undertake.
Take care and have a nice day.

Your friend's boyfriend certainly sounds heartless to me and from what you described, no, he did not love your friend as much as she deserves to be loved. It's not her fault what her parents chose to do and she definitely is not to blame. She did nothing wrong but he certainly did. He judged HER based on something out of her control and intentionally hurt her. She needs to be strong and to never speak to this cold hearted clod again.

the boy i think is not truly in love with the girl, it's not right to break up with the girl with that reason only. i think your friend should stay away with that guy and move on, that guy is not a man that can defend her instead, he stays away for such a very low reason.

I think that is very sad that he should have broken up with his girl friend just because of her family.Obviously could not have loved her very much to break up with her when it was not her fault what has happened to her family.A lot of familys are made up of step brothers and sisters divoces people who are related to you who have had affairs,whos relations have a police record etc.It dont mean the same is going to happen just because they are related to them.Tell your friend to get over this person as they are not very sympathetic towards her and they need to grow up.Your friend will find someone who loves her for who she is not what or who her relations are.

She should have told him about her family from the start, if he did not like that she came broken family. A broken family is not a reason to break up but that is how her bf feels. Her bf did not really love her or the fact that she came from a broken family would not have matter. She need to move on and she will fine someone who will love her for who she is.

it wasnt true love because if you love someone then you wouldnt care about their background all problems with their family you would just love them for who they are.
