About breaking ties and values
The other day, when I was talking about the future with him who is thinking about getting married, “How do you get along with your parents?” I was asked.
I had no idea what it was about, so when I asked for details, they said, “I told you to break ties with my parents, right?”
However, I don't remember the story of “breaking the relationship” at all.
(My parents' house is close, so I go home about once a month.
Previously, he said, “Please be aware that once you get married, you won't be able to go home as often as before. That's what getting married is, isn't it?” I've been told that before, and I was aware of that point.)
I told him that he is important, but my family is also important, so I can't break ties with either one of them.
However, neither he nor I are in a position to give up.
When I asked them why they wanted them to break the relationship, they said, “I just want you to watch it. I want to have a monopoly.” That was the reason.
Maybe we meet once a month because of work.
I'm the type that thinks we should meet if the timing is right,
Looking back, he said, “I don't have time for work, so it's okay to come stay” and “will we live together?” We were waiting, so I wonder if they were the type we wanted to spend as much time together as possible.
If they were that type, I'm wondering if the reactionary one would have turned into this statement.
However, I cannot be ruthless towards my parents who have taken great care of me until now.
Also, I'm sad to wonder what he said to my parents, whom I've never met or talked to.
For my part, I'd like him to at least be allowed to get in touch with his parents and meet him a few times a year, but I don't think he'll change his mind easily due to his personality.
Also, since he is pressed for time, I don't think he will set up a long time to adjust his opinions with each other.
In such a case, if we continue to go on a parallel line, is it better to give up if we are compatible with him if our values don't clash with him?
Or is it just that I'm indecisive and want to continue my relationship with either one?
I'm sorry this is a long sentence.
I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.
Thank you for your support.
