I LOVE HIM BUT HIS PARENTS ARE THE KIND OF TROUBLE EVERY WOMAN SHOULD RUN FROM

As a banker, I met him through my work, and we developed a professional relationship that eventually turned personal. We went on two dates, and he confessed his feelings for me. I was hesitant, unsure if I loved him back. He was a 40-year-old doctor, and I wondered why he was still single. He shared his past experience with his parents disapproving of his ex-girlfriend, a teacher, due to her background and profession. Despite his efforts to make it work, she eventually left him.

I studied him, trying to understand his intentions. I visited his place, looking for signs of another woman's presence, but found none. He proposed, and I accepted, still uncertain about his motivations. He assured me that his parents' issues with his ex didn't influence his decision to be with me.
 

However, when we visited his parents' grand, royal-like home, I felt uneasy. His parents' behavior towards me was cold and condescending. They corrected my table manners and made me feel like an outsider. I felt like I didn't belong. After a humiliating dinner experience, I told him I wanted to leave, but he asked me to stay and blend in for his parents' sake.

The final straw came when his mother and sister questioned my dress sense and implied I wasn't good enough for their family gatherings. I broke down and told him I couldn't continue the relationship. He tried to convince me to stay, but I knew I had to leave. His parents' disapproval and condescending behavior were too much to bear.

He still pursues me, but I'm drifting away. The experience was daunting, and I'm unsure if I can ever go back to him, especially with his parents' opposition looming over us.
