Hi everyone. I am looking for some advice. I am currently taking a break with my significant other from our current 4 year relationship. We have been together since the beginning of high school and I am now in college. We have always been best friends and very close, he was my first everything and my only real boyfriend thus far. Despite the bond we have and the longevity of our relationship, I needed a break. Unfortunately his family is very “low life”, lazy people who are unhygienic. I cannot go to his parents apartment (where he lives) because it is too trashy and dirty. Neither of them have jobs, licenses, cars, etc. they are very lazy people and I do not have a good relationship with them. Both him and his family lack good hygiene, although we have been on several vacations together with my family- and he has cleaned up well. He does not have the money for drivers ed, a car, or his own place. It’s a lot of work for my family to clean the whole house before he comes over, due to the dirt and cigarette smell from his parents and house. He has no license or car like me, so it is hard for us to see eachother. I love him but am calling a break for hygiene reasons and the fact we never see eachother. Is it wrong to feel this way? I want to experience something new and more clean with someone else and be able to have a relationship with their family. I’ve gotten mixed responses, so I’d love some feedback on what you think of the situation.
