I’m confused. My last relationship was kind of t0xic, but thank God I’m out of it. I actually don’t have toasters like that. It’s one of the reasons why it takes me so long to let go of an ex, even with all the issues we’ve been having. So, I promised myself not to believe in any man again. And I prayed deep down to God for a good man. Then, not quite long after, I found a man. I was very happy because I believed my prayers had been answered, and with his consistency, I was able to understand that he loved and wanted me. Then we started dating. He’s actually a y@h00 boy, he smokes, and he has tattoos. I never imagined myself dating somebody like that, but I feel like it doesn’t mean much, so I didn’t judge him. And he’s always busy.
He picks the dates for us to meet every time, but he doesn’t call. At some point, I felt like I was the one forcing the relationship because I was always the one complaining. I have a mentally ill mom. Her situation isn’t that critical, but we couldn’t find solutions. It’s been five years now. My mom’s illness is one of the things that breaks me. In one way or another, he knows her. I was shocked the first time he asked about my mom, and I was like, “How do you know her?” He just said he did. I cried my eyes out that night because I understand how it feels. It’s unbearable for me and my siblings too. So, I explained to him that her situation isn’t that critical, that she’ll be fine with time, and he said, “Okay, find something to do about it.”
Then, one day, he called me with aggression, saying he couldn’t take it anymore because my mom was displaying in front of him and his friends, and people were gossiping about him, saying his girl’s mom is deranged. I couldn’t say anything that night; I was just crying inside because it hurt. We saw each other last week Sunday—no issues, nothing weird from him to me. We talked on Monday and Tuesday morning. Then, on Tuesday afternoon, I opened my WhatsApp and saw his text saying he couldn’t take it anymore. He said he was ashamed of what my mom did just now, that he couldn’t move an inch, and that his parents must not be aware of my mom’s illness. He said they would ask him why he was still dating the daughter of a “mad woman.”
Then he said “bye,” and blocked me on WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok. I was angry at first because he called my mom a mad woman. I don’t know what to do because I know he loves me, and I love him too. Should I let him go? Also, is there anything that can heal my mom? I’m confused.
