My girlfriend and I were together for two years and it was the most beautiful relationship I’ve ever had. Everything felt right full of love mutual respect and shared dreams. We were planning to get married and genuinely there was nothing wrong between us.
But things fell apart because of my mother who struggles with mental health. She went to my girlfriend’s parents and falsely claimed we had been physically intimate even though we had chosen to wait until marriage a decision rooted in our values as brown Muslims. She said hurtful things about them questioned their character and even demanded my girlfriend take a pregnancy test. It was humiliating and deeply damaging.
I feel completely lost. I know in my heart she’s my soulmate the person I want to spend my life with. We promised each other we’d wait two years and see if we could start a new chapter together. We vowed not to let anyone pull us apart. But my mom’s actions tore us apart not our love.
We still love each other deeply and everything felt so right. Has anyone been through something similar? Any advice? Because I truly believe she’s the one I want to marry the only person I see as my future.

this really hurts to read. do you think your girlfriend’s family would be open to reconnecting after some time, once emotions cool down a bit?
i think if love is still there and both of you are on the same page, time might actually help. parents can sometimes see things differently later. just don’t lose yourself while waiting for that “maybe.”
kinda similar my ex’s family didn’t approve of me because of religion. it’s crazy how love can be pure but still get wrecked by things out of our control. i really feel for you both
talk to your mother.. tell her how much you love this girl, your love is amazing I know that you two are gonna end up together:)
