I recently got broken up with... It was an 8 year relationship, online... We met for like two weeks. Everything was picture perfect except. His family found out that I'm a different religion and he accepted that the kids would follow my religion. ( a lot happened there but I did not force him. If anything I encouraged him to seek advice before he made this decision) I don't know what his family told him. All I know is his church pastor was involved he got an intervention. His grandparents kicked him out of his house, he was told he would disappoint god and his father (who passed away a few years back and he is still traumatized by it) . He blocked me everywhere... After relentlessly trying to reach out to him he called back and apologized. Told me he can't talk now but he will explain later give him some time to think things through. He'd give himself 1 week and 1 week dedicated to me... Then he'll make a decision. He came back with his mind so damn sure... The whole time he kept talking like he was going to leave but I didn't believe it. I thought we were trying to give each other our best. The end of the week came and I asked him for his decision. He was so sure. I'm just... Hurt. I don't know what to think honestly, it's been a week I didn't say a word I said okay and we said our goodbyes. I don't know what to think, should I fight for him? But even if I do I don't want him to be unhappy with his faith and family. I'm so depressed. I don't know how to feel. Am I in the wrong for wanting him back? Should I call him and try to tell him he should have given us a chance I could have made him happy, but how can I ask someone to chose me over their family? I love him. I know he loves me deeply. This is so painful for him but I can't help but think he was pushed and pressured to make this decision. I... Don't know what to do or think.

Aw man, that sounds like a really tough situation. Breakups are always hard, but when it's after such a long relationship and there's all this family drama involved, that's just brutal. I can see why you're so confused and conflicted right now.
It's understandable that you still love him and want to fight for the relationship. You've been through so much together over 8 years, that doesn't just go away. And if you know he loves you deeply too, it must be killing him to have made this choice.
But at the same time, you gotta respect that he's made his decision - even if it seems like he was pressured by his family and church. That's a really tough position to be in, having to choose between the person you love and the family/faith that's so important to you.
I dunno, man. It sucks, but maybe you just gotta let him be for now. Hopefully with some time and space, he'll be able to really think things through and figure out what he wants. Reaching out and trying to change his mind might just push him further away.
Just focus on taking care of yourself right now. I know it hurts, but you gotta let yourself grieve the relationship. Maybe in the future, if he reaches out, you can try again. But for now, you've gotta do what's best for you. Hang in there, Love.
I really appreciate your kind words. It means a lot. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to understand and write that down. It's... Been rough. Thanks to you I'll be able to sleep just alittle better today. ๐๐ Thank you ๐
Move on, 8 years online relationship is wild.
You just like talk with AI to spend your free time.
If your intention is to marry to someone, just find someone in the RL. Get over it and move on
8 years online, yeah let that go. This isnโt Romeo and Juliet, just 2 people hanging on.
