Why??

How does it feel when your ex boyfriend broke up with you saying his family do not approve of this relationship and it is not his choice to do so while not long after the big break he go after a close friend of mine?? I do not know what to think of him anymore. When he asked for the break, I reluctantly agree however I do beg for him not to go after my friend, stating that he had made me lose something important in my life so please do not make me have to lose a friendship  as well. The reply he gave was not favourable. He told me that he could not promise me so as this is his life and it is up to him to do what he want. 

In that moment only I realise that it is his choice to break up with me. Am I that naive to fall for the shit he told me?? Unfortunately that is the truth.
