A woman has shared the moment she left her boyfriend over his four-word remark when his ex-girlfriend passed away.

Posting o Reddit, the woman explained that her boyfriend has two kids with his ex but only saw them during holidays.

She thought that their relationship would still work as she didn’t want to be a parent to his children.

But when his ex-girlfriend died, the children moved in with him and he became the sole caregiver.

Even though she did not want to be a mom, she agreed to help out but the children expected her to be like their mother.

When her boyfriend made a four-work remark, she knew she’d had enough and left him and his kids.

“He was fine with me not wanting to be a parent and just be a bonus adult. We were taking it slow and I didn’t even meet his kids until a few months back. We took a trip together and got along great. Things changed two months ago when his ex died. The kids were really crushed as they moved into his house,” she wrote.

The woman explained that they were not living together but he asked if she could move in to help him out. She couldn’t refuse but she eventually became overwhelmed by the responsibility.

“I did my best but my mental health started getting worse every day. I didn’t even get help from my boyfriend because he was struggling too,” she continued.

But things came to an end when the younger child fell ill and wanted to be ‘nursed back to health’ in a way her mother would’ve done.

However, nothing she did was ‘enough’ for the girl.

“The soup wasn’t the same, the story wasn’t told the same way, I didn’t hug her the way her mom did, etc. I know she is grieving but I was already working from home and stressed too,” she continued.

When she asked her boyfriend for help, he gave her the four-word remark that made her leave them: “You are a mom.”

“I told him I can’t do this. He said I needed to stop acting like a child and step up. I understood if I stayed my whole life would be like this. Never measuring up. Never being enough. And all the responsibilities of a mom. I left yesterday,” she added.

Reddit users were quick to praise the woman, with one writing: “Good for you on moving out. It does look like he planned on making you the ‘main parent’ instead of himself.”
