I think you are dead right about this. He is probably hurting over the rejection of his marriage proposal.
To the poster,
I don't condone the way he is handling things and turning his family against you is really unfair. Unfortunately though, the saying 'blood is thicker than water' is really true. Family members will always stand on the side of their own so you can't expect much less if he is slagging you off to them. As everyone has said here, what they think is immaterial. What you need to do is simply move on and forget him. There is no use crying over spilt milk. Just forgive him because it will set you free from your pain and allow you to heal, then forget about his family and get on with your life. It is painful to break ties with people you care about, I know, but sometimes in life you just have to cut certain people off and leave them behind. I'm sure there are many other doors waiting to be opened in your future, so embrace that. Hopefully in time something will help his family to realise what narrow minded people they are, though it may not necessarily begin with you or your situation. The chickens will come home to roost honey, so just relax and forget about the dolt!
Help me!
