After three years of dating, Esther was thrilled to finally meet her boyfriend William’s parents. However, the weekend turned into a nightmare when she saw how his parents treated him. They coddled William excessively, even cutting his pancakes and praising him for trivial things. The breaking point came when Esther saw their bedroom, filled with photos of William and even bedsheets with his face on them.

Feeling suffocated, Esther tried to discuss it with William, but he dismissed her concerns, calling her jealous. The tension escalated, leading Esther to call off the engagement. She needed space to think, but William refused to acknowledge any issues with his parents’ behavior.

Days later, they met at the park where they had their first date. Esther tried to explain her perspective, but William became defensive and accused her of trying to take away his parents’ love. Realizing they couldn’t reach an understanding, Esther decided to end the relationship. As she watched William walk away, she felt a mix of sadness and relief, knowing she made the right decision.

Esther tried to move on, but the memories haunted her. One evening, she called William, hoping for reconciliation. He agreed to meet, but their conversation turned into another argument. William couldn’t see the problem with his parents’ behavior, and Esther couldn’t ignore it. Finally, William suggested they end things for good.

Tears filled Esther’s eyes as she agreed. She watched him walk away, conflicted by sadness and relief. It was over. And while it hurt, she knew it was the right decision. Maybe she overreacted, but his parents’ obsession was too much for her.
