Please pray for me for this is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I'm a 22 yr. old male that is in school and participates in competitive athletics. It is extremely hard to focus on these things right now. What hurts the most is that my ex partner wants to be with me but is uncertain about the future and does not know if I can meet her expectations as far as my career goes. We are both in school but she is a lot further along than I am. It's only my 1st semester in college and she will have her bachelors in less than 15 months. Her family wants her spoiled not only in the future, but also. While I know that eventually I will have a good career, I can't provide for her in that way in the present moment. It will take time for me to get to that point. She has taken the break up worse than I have and the last thing she wanted was to break up. While I'm not blaming her family entirely, I believe that they have influenced her decision and she feels obligated to do what would make her family happy even though she does not agree entirely with their opinions. She even admits that she is putting her family before herself because she wants to keep them happy. This is so hard to deal with and it is breaking me. Please pray and offer advice and comfort if possible. Thank you. God Bless

Are you feeling inadequate to her? So she doesn't know if you are good enough for her? And if a future together is viable? If you think that you are too busy, then tell her that.

SamuelAdams1313, is there a cross-cultural dimension to this situation?
