Imagine planning a special weekend to honor the 10-year anniversary of your father’s passing, only for your boyfriend to unexpectedly have his son for the weekend and demand you cancel your plans. That’s exactly what happened to one woman, who shared her heartbreaking story online. She had arranged a tubing trip, a visit with her sister, and time at a campground with close friends. Her boyfriend, whom we’ll call ‘T’, was initially fine with the plans. But when he had to look after his 10-year-old son, ‘K’, he suddenly changed his tune and demanded she cancel her plans.

After sticking to her plans and refusing to cancel her father’s anniversary weekend, the woman found herself at the center of a storm. Her boyfriend broke up with her, accused her of always running away when he had his son, and told her not to come home. Despite the hurtful words, she kept her plans and thanked the online community for their support. In an update, she revealed that her boyfriend continued to be mean and even accused her of taking too long to mourn her father. She finally stood up for herself, ended the relationship, and is now looking to move out.
