My(20M) Past girlfriend(19F) doesn't let me move away (please help I'm confused)
We started when when we were 16 and 15.
Quick context is that because of her family problems she didn't message me for about 1 year without me knowing that she had suffered in the meantime about her mental health and some other things which actually are very serious but in that 1 year i had tried to move on very hard because to me it was a sudden shock (nothing compared to what she went through, her was worse)
I want to be with her till the date but I can't because she looks future as us partners and married in future but you all know in india marriage means connecting with two families, an I'm not very comfortable with her family members because they hate me also my family members are super strict about caste system (I'm against but I'm tied up).
In that one year i decided to focus on becoming who i always wanted to.. grow in combat sports and it requires actual dedication, not 2-3 hours training but everyday 10-12 hours of hardwork while managing college.. i can manage her aswell but the only thing is it'll maybe slow down my progess and her's too.
I want to stay single and away but she messages me every time and i have to reply because I'm in somewhat fear that she might take a wrong step because of what happened to her earlier and cherry on top a guy hanged himself because of love. I'm scared to hell and confused at the same time.
In simple words: I can't love her and keep her hanging because of her family background and their nature towards me, also because of my goal.
HELP ME!!!
