I thought I had found the man I would marry. We were together for 2 years. He had a good job and always said he loved my intelligence and drive.
Last week, he finally agreed to visit my family in the village. My mum was so happy. She spent her last money to cook a special meal and even borrowed a better seat so he would be comfortable.
But when he arrived, his attitude changed. He barely spoke, barely ate, and just looked around.
Two days after he left, he sent me a message I’ll never forget. He said he’s “a man of class” and can’t marry into a family where he’ll become the only hope. He said my background would “pull him down.”
Before I could even respond, he blocked me everywhere.
He didn’t see the love in the food my mum cooked. He didn’t see the sacrifices she made to raise me. He only saw where we came from.
My heart is heavy. Is it now a crime to come from a humble home?
Does my hard work mean nothing because of my background? 💔
