Been here before, last year in fact due to an absolute nightmare of an ex.
Back again, started seeing someone back in the summer. Issues from the start due to his religion and family although us together worked perfectly.
Absolutely nothing has happened between us except the fact his family won't accept us together, he relies solely on their blessing so won't do anything if they don't approve.
Here I am, having to cut contact solely because I'm heartbroken & know it's either me doing it now or him doing it when his family set up for him to meet a woman.
I'm only a few hours into NC & my god! I'm seriously struggling.....he's the loveliest guy I've ever met 
I've never cut anyone out who I've not fallen out with.
