@O.M.A.I.O I agree that it's pretty shabby treatment, but I didn't want to say so out loud.
It actually reminded me of my own experience. I met an ISTJ from a country in Eastern Europe (though he had been in Canada for decades). I thought I had finally met my Prince Charming. I never met his family, who lived almost next door to him, but he talked about them sometimes.
Then he suddenly broke contact and hid from me (which he was able to do because of his work situation). I was worried sick, and actually thought he might be dead.
Finally he came to my home to break up with me. He said his family wouldn't accept me. I asked which family members. He said his ex-wife (who had been married to someone else for years), and his 2 adult daughters (who both had funkier lifestyles than I did).
I happened to know a member of his extended family, and she said that was ridiculous: His family were not like that, and anyway I was a lovely person and they'd have no reason to reject me. I guess the man somehow believed what he said, but I was the one who suffered.
Another reason he gave was that his daughter had bought a house, so he would be spending a lot of time fixing up her house and wouldn't have time for me. I foresee that something similar will happen to
@Electra . Someone will need something, or his kid's wedding is coming up (which somehow will take all his attention) or something, and Electra will be left out in the cold.
I think we all love Electra and know that she deserves better.
There is a Chilean movie called
Gloria that depicts a similar situation. It's kind of fun and maybe worth a watch.
