My name is Osama. I am 21, and I had a girlfriend with 2 kids. I was with her for 2 years. My family (completely different culture) and her family hated each other. My parents went as far as disowning me for being with her, so i stayed with her. I was disgusted by her habits and what she spends her time doing. What used to one day be a day in which i would come home and find her dressed up to me now dissappeared. I used to walk to my apartment door after a long hard day at work. I would smell the food cooking before i entered the house. Then i would walk in and she would greet me, and take me to the kitchen where my warm dinner was layed out for me. Then she would draw my bath, slipp me in to my pajamas and lay me down next to her. In the morning i would awake with breakfast for me, my lunch packed for work, and my work clothes neatly ironed. Now we spend our time infront of the T.V. rotting. Our once healthy foods are now replaced with Microwave dinners. I watch her put on the weight, and i watch her become sadder. I try to pull her out of it, but she has gone to far. She now sits depressed and alone. I asked her why and she says, "something that happened to me when i was a kid."
I cant help but to think that she has been molested by her grandpa, but she wont tell me. I left her
The other reason why i broke up with her is because she is Israeli, and i am Palestinian. We fight to much in politics. I feel bad for leaving her. She does not want me to leave her and i really want to stay with her.
I want to finish college, work, and become successful, and i cant with her. But i love her.
Am i doing the right thing?
