I understand your mom being worried about you and wanting to make sure you'll be ok, but it sounded as if she was saying that he's not good enough for you because he doesn't have a degree! You say you have a Master's degree then it should be easy for you to get a job that makes good money! It's not just up to the man to provide for the relationship! You should have this figured out your 27 and acting like your 15! If you wanted this to work you need to be able to stand up to your parents when they say dumb shit! And maybe grow up!
Okay, the fact you didn’t mean it almost makes it worse. You came at her crazy with the most hurtful thing you could think of for the sole purpose of hurting her. That was your GUT reaction.
I've been there brother. It started as Facebook messages for my significant other then it gradually went to text messages. Always deleted no record of them until the phone bill showed up. Ended up separating and years later found out they were fucking at least twice a week for about 8 months. Get a hold of it now. To this day I'm told that I wasn't there for her emotionally and she liked somebody paying attention to her. I thought being a good husband was working a lot and paying the bills and being the good father unfortunately I didn't meet her needs so she found them elsewhere.
This definitely belongs on r/AmITheDevil or r/AmITheAsshole
Mate, I'm not OP. Please read.
Is the main issue that you were duped by him, or that you willingly let yourself be duped because you thought you had a chance of changing his mind?
It sounds like you both kept up this relationship because you both hoped to get what you wanted.
That's fair.
If it was such a big deal OPs boyfriend he should have made it clear and at that point he had two options.
A. Work on it to move past if he wanted to be with her B. Don't be with her if it was gonna be a dealbreaker he can't get past.
He fucked up thinking he could just keep it in.
These are all very good points I hadn't considered. Thank you for the link too.
