For me (21f), being in a relationship means that your partner is your number one priority (yes, I mean married partner or long term/serious partner, not some short term girlfriend). Is it okay for someone to prioritize their parents over their partner? He seems to mean it in regards to finances (ex. If his parents needed money, he’d give it to them) but I think thats bs too.He claims that his parents “sacrificed their lives” for him and thats why he owes them. I, once again, think that’s bs. He also said that his dream in life” is to take care of his parents.The issue here is that I don’t understand what “supporting his parents” entails and he’s unable to be specific about it. I’d be fine with supporting his parents if we were financially stable and could spare the cash and could have some money left over for our own dreams. I don’t want to take care of his parents forever and have that be our top priority as a couple.Is this worth breaking up over? I feel like it might be a dealbreaker. I don’t want my future married life to revolve around my inlaws...Here’s 2 examples of where I feel like his relationship with his mom crossed the line:Ex. He didn’t want to go on vacation to see me (we’re in an LDR) because it would stress his parents out. That is a shit reason. When I told them that if he didn’t come I’d be a deal breaker for me, he reluctantly agreed and then said he’d come for a maximum of 2w despite being unemployed and having all the free time in the world to come. He refused to specify why.Ex. 2 one time he said he’d want to have a kid so that his mother can have a grandchild. Hes given me no other reason for wanting a kid and cant stand 2s of a baby crying on TV. In his defence, he backed away from this aggressively when he realized how horrified I was.These are just 2 examples.He also said that he “would die for [his] parents”Tldr: my bf says his goal in life is to support his parents. It seems like our life as a couple / our relationship fall somewhere below that goal. Is that okay? I am weirded out. via /r/relationships https://ift.tt/2SLFXXV
