However, their relationship took an unexpected turn over the weekend when she expressed her wish for him to meet her family.
A mind-blowing discovery that led to an unexpected decision. It wasn’t long before they left for her family’s house on a Saturday. About 30 minutes into the visit, a 10-year-old girl opened the front door, spotted the man’s girlfriend, and exclaimed, “Mom!” as she hugged her. The man was taken surprised because his partner had never suggested having a daughter during their relationship. Further chat revealed that she had not visited or spoken with her daughter in at least two months.

With resolve, the man determined to confront the problem straight. In front of her parents, he told his lover that their relationship could not continue.
