Dear floating:

He had a choice: you or his family/ you or his family business. He chose his family and his family business.

Did he make the right choice? I suppose he thinks he did and that is why he is sticking with his decision.

It is not because you were an imperfect girlfriend, that he made his choice- clearly, my logic asserts: it is his parents and the family business that have power over him. No matter how perfect of a girlfriend he had, it would still be the power of his attachment to his parents and his motivation to continue with the family business- that would have won.

How to get over this? Post here anytime and I, for one, would reply. Try and have one friend in-person who is empathetic to you, and with whom you can freely and honestly express your feelings to.
