**A Groom-to-Be Acting as the Breadwinner Instead of His Cheating Father**

A story has come out about a groom-to-be who has to take full responsibility for his mother's living expenses, as he has a father who is leading a double life, raising doubts about their upcoming marriage.

On the 6th of this month, an article titled "Is it selfish to break up after learning about my boyfriend's family situation?" was posted on the online community Nate Pann.

The author, referred to as A, opened up by saying, "We are a couple in our mid-thirties who have been dating for two and a half years, and he proposed that we get married in the spring of next year."

A continued, "I have met my boyfriend's mother about three times, but I have never seen his father. It always seemed strange to me. My father is someone who always has to have everything and does what he wants, yet I heard that he doesn't spend a single penny on my boyfriend's mother."

The problem is that instead of taking care of his family, A's boyfriend is breaking down his salary to cover all of his mother's living expenses and even minor expenditures.

A's boyfriend's father has been leading this double life for about six years, even before his son became a high school student.

Additionally, after becoming an adult, A's boyfriend did not receive any support for college tuition from his father and had to work part-time jobs to graduate with difficulty.

"I am already falling out of love with my boyfriend and don’t want to marry him… is that selfish?"

Furthermore, A's boyfriend's father recently got caught in a drunk driving incident and handed the bill to his son, asking him to clean up the mess.

As her boyfriend attempts to take care of his mother while also managing the aftermath of his father's actions, he has not been able to save any money. Despite promising to marry A, he stated, "Things will have to continue like this," deepening A's worries.

A expressed, "My mother is young and still working. Lately, however, she frequently says she is feeling ill and suggests going to the hospital. She has been acting unwell every weekend, which has made our dates quite uncomfortable."

Upon learning about her boyfriend's family situation, A admitted, "It's odd how my boyfriend takes on responsibilities concerning money that should belong to his father. While this doesn’t affect our relationship, I am feeling unsettled about the thought of marriage."

In conclusion, A stated, "After hearing about my boyfriend's family, I see that they are so different from my parents and typical families, and they appear to be entirely lacking in responsibility, which has made me lose affection for him. I feel like this might be my future, and I want to break up immediately."

Upon reading this story, netizens reacted with comments like, "Don't ruin your one precious life; safely break up," "It's more altruistic to break up now than to fight over this issue for the rest of your lives and both end up in hell," and "You might end up taking care of your father-in-law in the future."
