Relationship/Family Issues
My now ex-partner recently left me because I wouldn’t cut off my mother after a few unnecessary comments were made which culminated in an argument between the two. At the time, I failed to protect her unfortunately which I believe has pushed her to this ultimatum and this was for life, never to be resolved is what she was after. I have fully accepted that I should’ve handled things better to begin with, I’m not a confrontational person but I’ve realised I need to be able to in particular situations. I have never had an issue with my family up until this point and I’m in my late 20’s.
TL;DR Am I crazy for standing firm on not cutting off a family member and would rather try and resolve/work on the issue over time? Family is a big part of my life too
Edit - we were together for about 3 years, getting prepared to be engaged too.
Edit #2 - To add more context too, when this happened I actually cut off my mother which ended up being for about 3 months to show my partner that she was priority. From there I wanted to try and resolve the situation rather than continuing with cutting off. I don’t talk to my mother anywhere as much as before too, boundaries are in place.
