janniepeg agony auntI am not totally against arranged marriage but to this day and where you live, it is not so practical. You either make up your mind that you will follow your culture, or you go against it from day one. You don't fall in love then have this internal struggle, break up with the one you love. That's unreasonable to yourself.

This is a culture I will never understand. You are either a follower or a rebel. When you are stuck in the middle to choose, you are the most miserable.

That is not to say that if you choose tradition from day one, all will be peaceful. There is a chance that your arranged husband will seek out real love affairs, believing that he can't love you, because you are not his choice.

I will say, go marry your man and be Australian.
