Sorry, but so not sorry!
I get it, he had it hard. He did not break up with our ML because he was a totas a**hole. He did it, so that he coul'd make his mother happy. He did not even belive, that our ML would fight against his family for him so he chose not to do that either.
But it's just plain wrong how he did it. Had he talked to our ML, the situation may have been completly different.
But I guess, out ML needed this breakup to have a mental break down and to fight for his next relationship.
