Every month at least once my partner goes up north to visit his family and help them finish their new house, drink and have a good time. I stopped being invited because they don't like me (they have never liked any of my partners love interests) so he goes by himself.

Every time he goes up there they persuade and convince him to leave me. Saying things like I am not meant for him, he could be farther in life without me...that sort of stuff. It hurts so much...I can't explain...like I'm almost in tears right now because I know it's going to happen again just like the last time he went. Last time he went, he called me and told me he wanted two months to save and he was going to break up and move out with his mom.


Here's the thing about his family....I try to see good in everyone. While they do have good qualities, their intentions are selfish. They want him to leave his job that he is about to become supervisor in, to move up into bumfuck nowhere..literally, a town with under 3000 ppl in the country, just to help them financially because they are struggling. That's the real underlaying reason, so he can help them. But they say it's for his own good..it's really not at all. Because they are sinking they want to sink him too, to keep themselves above water for a while longer.

Like I literally want to cry my eyes out....I feel so sorry for him that his family controls him this much...he needs to break off of it...
