Search Results: should i stick around

So I’m American and was dating this irish guy for a 7 months. I honestly thought I had found the one but we had a fair share of problems most being his family and friends didn’t like me. Me and my family are quite introverted and don’t drink. His family and friends are very extroverted and socialize mostly around alcohol which bothers me. I think his friends thought I was stuck up which I’m not. Had the feeling also they didn’t want him to move back to America which he had lived there before we had even met.

He broke up with me saying we don’t fit right in each other’s lives. But can’t help but think his family and friends are to blame. This all happened 10 months ago and he is already in a relationship with a girl from his city. From a mutual friend he is no longer moving to the states because of this girl and our friend also hinted that my ex wants to propose to this girl which has left me devastated.

I was hoping to reconcile after he moved here and was away from his family and friends. I really want to text him and ask if it was all a mistake that I love him. I genuinely feel crushed and don’t know wha to do.

I have two questions do you think people will stick to people of similar cultures and should I contact him?

I dont believe in marriage. I feel it's nothing more than a contractual agreement made by man and places too much emphasis on "labels". Love should just flow naturally without the so much emphasis placed on contractual agreements and labels.

You're forced to stick around due to a legally binding contract.

If that's what you want to do after years of dating and you know what you want then fine.
