'He was willing to damage my relationship with his parents just to save himself': Boyfriend gets in trouble with family, blames girlfriend for the situation.

Being in a relationship is all about compromise. Whose house will we go to for Thanksgiving? Can we have a pink bedspread with our blue curtains? Does the gaming computer have to be in the living room, or can it go down in the basement? Couples ask each other questions like these all the time, and the real test of a relationship is being able to answer these questions in a way that leaves both partners satisfied. Or at least in a way that leaves both partners assuaged. 

Compromise gets tricky, however, when you start to compromise your own personal freedoms for the sake of your relationship. Letting go of your happiness just so your partner gets their way. Sacrificing your relationships with your friends and family because your partner feels uncomfortable around them. These are tell-tale signs of a toxic relationship, of course, and when you feel that these things are happening in your relationship, it's best to try and get out as soon as you can.

In this post, OP is at the crossroads of that very scenario: Her partner compromised their relationship for the sake of his own freedom and, by doing so, temporarily ruined her relationship with his parents and friends. OP now asks, is it in the right to end things after over a year of being together? Follow along, dear reader, and see for yourself.
