Being an Indian woman, I will advice you please try your best and end the relationship right here. Your age gap doesn't seem much now but after maybe 10 yrs you'll start to feel the gap. I truly believe noone in the entire world can think or care more about you than your parents esp our indian parents...they literally live for us. Please don't break their heart. I had a love marriage not much age gap though. I dated the guy for 4 yrs.Been married for 10 yrs..its just ok like any other 'arranged marriage couples' around us. TRUST ME, THINGS CHANGE AFTER YOU GET MARRIED. Love flies out the window quickly when responsibilities set in. Right now, that guy must be treating you like a princess...won't be like that after marriage. I know indian guys very well.Parents will always be there...not sure abt the guy.

look i dont mean to be offensive but it shouldnt be your parents choice as to whom you marry when you marry someone it should be with the person you love not with a complete stranger who could be the biggest wasock walking! he may be a nice guy but all the same i say stick with your boyfriend and the age gap shouldnt be a worry age means nothing in a loving relationship good luck babe x
