Am I enough for someone?
I'll make the backstory just a few sentences:
Got into a relationship in 2020. I was a broke college student studing the same field as my ex gf. She said she never felt like a priority because I couldn't plan dates or take her to a park. I didn't have a car because all my mom went towards school. Her parents also didn't like that I didn't plan dates, meanwhile her dad was a doctor and acted like COVID wasn't happening.
I am finally working, having finished school, and between my salary job and weekend side job, I make 90k a year. I have 10k in credit cards to pay off and I still live at home, I just turned 26.
I feel like I "did everything right" and still got punished for it.
I don't mean to sound like I'm sorry for myself since I know people have things a lot worse, but she was with me when I had nothing, a year before my life changes, she leaves, after having stuck by side for 2 years. Her parents gave her a ultimatum to break up with me or she "wouldn't have parents" anymore. She's 24 now.
Am I enough?
*all my money
@toughPapaya1551 You are hurting and I imagine feeling betrayed. I’m not ignoring that when I say to you, you’ve got to be enough for you. Don’t spend your time looking back. Someone out there deserves your attention. Covid denying Dr. Stingy-Pants Sticupdabutt doesn’t deserve to live rent free in your noggin. People with lots of money aren’t always in touch with reality when it comes to understanding those without it. And maybe there is some small truth to what they are saying. Maybe you didn’t do everything you should have in that relationship…but, that is life, we all fail a little in some areas and win in others. Lessons learned, we do better in the next relationship. Move on. Learn to love yourself too.
So her parents were right to manipulate a break up because I was a broke college student?
