First time poster since they aren’t /my/ parents. A bit of backstory:

I’m 24m and my girlfriend is 20f. We both met at college about 2 years ago and have been dating for a year. Her parents(biological dad and step-mom) are SUPER Christians. I have no problem with religion but I myself am agnostic. And these people legitimately call people “cafeteria” Christians if they don’t seem Christian enough in their eyes. Actually disgusting of them in my opinion. My girlfriends religious but we respect each others beliefs. We pray before meals/sleep when its just us because she wants to, and I don’t attend Sunday church because I don’t want to. Its a nice middle that we enjoy a lot. Well a few months ago her parents found out that I’m agnostic and decided in their words that I’m “an ungodly loser” and that she should break up with me.

Her parents have had me on social media for a while, but we talked very little during most of the relationship. When they found out I was agnostic they bombarded a lot of posts trying to argue about articles I shared or just be plain mean. I blocked both of them. They didn’t see it as mean and said “we were just making valid points and he didn’t want to listen to us. He’s being immature” despite me always bringing up that we could agree to disagree, and them retorting with an overused, verbatim, “NO, YOU’RE WRONG”. Y’know, super fun conversations where they are obviously listening to me.

I haven’t talked to them in about a month, and same for my girlfriend which is wild because she pays rent on a property they own. Her parents talked her into moving from a 400$/month dorm to her step-moms 800$/month house.(thats just for her room too. She has 3 other roommates.) Unfortunately, my girlfriend had already signed a lease for her other apartments and wouldn’t be able to leave it. That was a nono for her step-mom. She NEEDED her to be at one of THEIR properties. She called some higher ups and got a “verbal” confirmation that GF’s lease would be cleared and she could move out. SM ordered GF to stop checking emails and to not worry about it since it was done. Come a few months ago my GF gets a letter saying shes REAL late on rent and owes 1300$ and is being evicted from an apartment she hasn’t been in since the end of her last lease. Super cool.

GF is currently still in SM’s house and is paying 500$ a month since her SM and dad forgot to turn in all the fafsa information and my GF couldn’t get any grants for the semester, and they struck up that deal “off record”. Come to today where my GF and parents finally talk after a week and her SM is FURIOUS that shes still dating a verbatim “immature, selfish loser” that has caused her to lose her godly strength, put her in debt, and made her ignore SM on her last days (forgot to mention that SM has cancer and has about 2 months left to live. Spending your last days in facebook drama and family arguments you started... nice.). Well GF finally tells them to stop bringing me into the problem when I have no correlation towards her getting into debt. Her SM replied with “FINE, I EXPECT YOUR EXTRA 300$ FOR LAST MONTH. NOW.” Absolute BULLSHIT.

Obviously i feel terrible for all of this, as it actually feels like its my fault. I’m picking up extra shifts at work so I can help her pay the 300$ since shes already working two jobs for the 500$ and going to school. This isn’t the first time they have hung a relationship over a tenant’s head either. Before all this happened they talked about how they didn’t like a tenants girlfriend and they’d take 200$ off his rent if they broke up and came to their personally led youth group to help council him into finding better relationships. It feels unreal really. But as soon as this lease is up shes booking it away from her dad (her SM will most likely have passed by then) and moving into a cheaper place with a friend.
