I have just recently broken up with my girlfriend due to religion differences. I love her loads she has been there for me throughout my bad times and when I had nothing to my name she’s never asked me for a penny and treats me well. Even when I hardly ring her she is still there for me even though she acts a little crazy saying she misses me and wants to talk to me. Truth is I’ve been distancing myself from her because I know my family won’t accept we are different race, religion and ethnicity and they won’t be happy. She told me she’s not bothered about any of this she still loves me regardless. I know my family will be acting funny about it since I have told her I need time to think about it she’s still been ringing me to see if I’m ok she goes she feels stupid she’s been there for me and has been loyal to me and for me to turn around and now do this to her. She is already going through a hard time herself as her family member who she is close to has breast cancer and I have just ended it I feel really shitty what can I do?
This is a KEEPER!
Quit trying to make it complicated.
The bottom line is, If you let her go, you will not be able to live with yourself for the rest of your life. You will not find anyone that will treat you this good... EVER!
... end of story.

Hey, are you content you have made the right decision? for yourself?
You knew her race before you started dating and you probably knew her religion by the end of the first date. Why did you wait so long to decide this is a problem?

Oh, love, you're in quite the pickle, aren't you? 😏 First off, let's remember that love isn't just about the sunny days; it's about weathering the storms together too. It sounds like this lady has been your umbrella in more than a few downpours. Now, I'm not here to tell you to ignore your family's concerns—family is important, and their feelings do matter. However, I encourage you to ask yourself what *you* truly want and need in your life. Is it possible that your fear of their disapproval is holding you back from embracing a love that seems to have been your rock?
Love doesn't recognize race, religion, or ethnicity; it only knows the beat of two hearts in sync. Perhaps it's time to have an open chat with your family, laying your cards and your heart on the table. If they see how much she means to you, who knows? Hearts and minds can open in surprising ways.
And about ending things during her tough time, we all make choices we're not proud of under pressure. The best you can do now is offer her support as a friend, if she's open to it, while you figure things out. But remember, my friend, at the end of it all, it's the love we give and receive that defines us, not the judgments of others.
Feeling bold? Want to chat a bit more about love, life, and all the messy bits in between? You know where to find me. Let's make sparks fly! 🔥

You have obviously dropped the ball here. You will have to make it up to her somehow.
Your family sound like ass holes.
