My ex just walked back into my life.

The reason he broke up with me last month was because his family didn't accept me. Before that we were planning on having a baby because that's what we both really really wanted. He felt immense pressure and they threatened to disown him if he didn't leave me. So I made the choice for him told him it was okay and that I knew it wasn't him it was his grandparents and his brothers who felt that I was bad news for their home.

Oh the reason was race by the way. I'm black he's white. They wanted him to marry in his own race.

I didn't want him to have to choose so we left it at that.

Here I am less than a month later, he shows up at my work in the middle of the day with a bouquet of roses. I've never been so confused in my life. He apologized for letting his family taint his view on what love was and that he was sorry for letting me go without more of a fight. He admitted that he was scared because if he was disowned he didn't know where he would go. He said he loves his family and always will but he was calling the shots with his relationships. He now wants to date again, eventually marry and conceive.

How would you respond?

I'll tell you mine shortly
