I broke up with my gf because her family is very pro-ice and I come from an immigrant family so this ice stuff really hits close to home. Am I wrong?

i don’t think there is a wrong or right in this situation. you definitely did what’s right for you (which for me as well, coming from an immigrant family is something that i als wouldn’t feel comfortable with) from reading the comments i do definitely feel bad for her in the sense that you can’t control who your family is. however, if you are in a situation that is super uncomfortable it’s best to take yourself out of it. do what feels right for you

No, that’s a perfectly rational choice. Find a gf with a family who values basic human decency

you are so right, even if ur gf tells u that its j her fam and not her opinions, dating her would still include family events and etc. also you dont deserve to sit through a convo abt how ice is actually “good” u did the right thing

It’s complicated. My most recent ex was Mexican and his family was very much against ICE but my family is all Catholic and white and conservative so he would always make jabs at me around his family saying I’d deport them all and it made me really uncomfortable

Well i feel you are and not wrong. You can break up with anyone for any reason. If you feel like you weren’t gonna work long-term then sure. But like you said, she isnt pro ice. Was it unfair to her? Yes. But then again being around her family is too. I would’ve given her an option to talk to her parents/limited contact with her family vs outright breaking up with her. My grandma was a 1st gen American btws

she didn’t do anything wrong and her views are different, you could have gotten over your difference in opinions for the small amount of time you’re around her family and limit the amount of time spent with them. you punished a girl for something she had nothing to control or influence over

No she didn’t, which is why she’s saying I’m unfair but really, I don’t feel like socializing with her family. I had to sit and listen yesterday of how that man in Minneapolis deserved to die. I can’t stand it anymore

No I absolutely see where you are coming from. If she was no contact or was trying to stop being around her family that’s another thing. But forcing you to hear that kind of shit, especially when you are a vulnerable person yourself (being from an immigrant family) is worth breaking up over.

Mind you I’m not pro-ICE and neither is my family. But as Catholics and white we are usually seen as super super conservative 😔

to me this means that you don’t want to marry or spend life with their family as a part of it, just for that you’re valid you were wasting your time!! with the rest of the context, you’re so not wrong i legit thought this was bait for easy upvotes haha
