I'm 23 and been with a guy for 5 years. We were planning to marry but then our families got in the way. He would put his family first and broke some promises he made to me... I'm guilty of having an interferring family as well, but then cut my apron strings. He has not done this and probably never will.
Anyway, give me some ideas, things to do, ways of thinking to get over this tough hill in my life.

sorry to hear about that...but you can learn from this...in all honesty i dont believe family should get in the way of someones personel relationship with someone else..there should be boundries....if he wasnt willing to draw the line with his family for his "future wife" then he was never good anyway...you'll move on

Girl you are still young with your whole life ahead of you. Leave and go on with your life. You have cut the ties so he should also. I am not saying cut the parents out completely but he must realise if you get married you are going to be each others priorities. If he is not prepaired to let go he obviously do not love you enough.If you carry on and marry his parents will always come between you and I can assure you that can get ugly.
Good luck

The only advice I can give you is to pray. I sympathize with what you are going through, been there and done that. It may happen again in your life until you find that perfect person for you. The only thing that got me through any of it was my faith. Stay strong, you will be OK.

Ur young first off...maybe ur guy just needs to grow up. Time will tell...just think about what you really want in ur life. Meaning a career or a job. And put ur mind to that for awhile. Whatever ends up happening...happens. You'll meet someone new when you least expect it! Just keep the faith and ur spirit!

You're only 23, got plenty of good years ahead of you. Just be glad it happened when you were young. It is hard to get over at first but you will eventually, and being single ain't that bad.

nothing can stand on the way of true love it happens but you will fight for things to happen with the one you love some give up l8r but after you tried all things to make people understand you are serious not just please your family coz your family wont always be there for you . you are starting your own and a person should be mature enough to understand that

You have been dateing the same guy since you were 18. Guest you haven't grown much. Get over it and get on with your life. And try growing a little.

You have but one choice and it has nothing to do with him.
You need to do what is right for YOU regarding YOUR family. And if you love him, don't resent him for loving his family more than you love yours.

GO TO SCHOOL, GET A NEW HOBBY, MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS, DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF, CHANGE HAIR, START WALKING, TALK ABOUT IT, CRY ABOUT IT, DEAL WITH IT, AND MOVE ON, DON'T HOLD ON TO IT, IT WILL ONLY MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE.
