Me and my boyfriend want to get married however his dad wont let it happen, because he wants his son to get a traditional arranged marriage. My boyfriend is now saying we should end our relationship because his dad will never change his mind.

I dont know whether i should stick around as i do love him very much and want to spend my life with him, its only been 2 months since the first time he's asked his dad, but its causing big arguements within his family. I dont know whether we should break up, im scared that im wasting time if were not going to end up together. But i still have hope that his dad will change his mind.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I come from a very traditional family myself, so I really understand your situation. The best way to deal with stubborn parents is to do things slowly. Go visit his parents and come to friendly terms with them. If they start to like you, pose the question again, and see what the outcome is. Remember that as his parents, no matter what his age or maturity is, they still have a certain amount of say about his life. However, this shouldn't turn into control. If, by any chance, they don't relent, the boy will have to take things into his hands and explain to his parents that they must stop controlling his life.

I don't know if this makes much sense, but I sure hope it helps. Good luck!
