His Parents Gave Him An Ultimatum And Expect Him To Leave His Girlfriend Over Her Medical History, Or They’ll Disown Him
It’s been over six years that this 25-year-old guy has spent with his girlfriend, who is the same age as him.
During the first three years of their relationship, they had to do the whole long-distance thing, which wasn’t easy.
But after they accomplished surviving that, everything has been incredible for the following three years.
His girlfriend is his best friend in the entire world, and he can’t picture a life that doesn’t include her by his side.
They basically never argue, and their personalities are complimentary. Their friends also say they’re the picture-perfect couple.
He knows his girlfriend is the one for him, but his parents disagree, all because of her medical history.
“Initially, my parents loved her a lot, too,” he explained. “They always showered her with gifts and really supported us being together.”
“In fact, my parents had been nagging us to get married soon. However, my GF is a carrier of BRCA-2 gene mutation, which means she will be at a higher risk of getting breast cancer and ovarian cancer in the future.”
He is completely clued in on what her condition means, and he’s ready to be there to support her through whatever she may encounter in the future.

He still wants to make his girlfriend his wife, and he’s not scared of what they will have to face down as a couple.
They have already planned out IVF so they can prevent the gene from being passed to their children, and his girlfriend wants to undergo a double mastectomy to stop the cancer from having a chance to develop.
“Unfortunately, I decided to tell my parents about my girlfriend’s gene mutation, hoping to get their understanding and support,” he said.
“However, they did not take it lightly. My mom threw a massive fit and demanded I leave my girlfriend immediately.”
“Essentially, they don’t want my girlfriend to be “imperfect,” and they don’t want me to potentially suffer from taking care of my GF in the future, such as bringing her to hospital appointments and stuff.”
His parents then argued that the cost of his girlfriend’s medical care, coupled with the expense of IVF, will be way too much money.
Finally, they issued him an ultimatum: he can keep dating his girlfriend and get disowned, or he can leave her and maintain their family ties.
He’s the only son his parents have, so he is horrified by them trying to make him choose. The ultimatum broke his girlfriend’s heart, but she says she will keep dealing with his negative mom and dad if they can get married one day.
“I love my girlfriend too much, and I can’t imagine breaking up with her,” he continued. “I also do feel it is way too cruel to leave my girlfriend JUST because of her genetic predisposition to cancer.”
He’s left wondering what he should do in this situation. What advice do you have for him?
