Me and my boyfriend are in love, and we wanted to get married. Problem? his mom. she told him he cannot marry me. thing is she never met me, and he sez he cant go against his mom. this is a culture thing, since me and him are both middle eastern (im actually half, which is a problem to his mother). I feel torn between leaving him and staying with someone i really care about.
Any Advice?

LiLReBeL6907 answered Thursday May 11 2006, 12:30 pm: Well depending on your age, this shouldn't be much of a problem. If you are younger than 18 then his mom kinda has a voice in the matter. You should continue dating him of course, and put the thought of marriage on the back burner for right now. You and him are happy right now and love eachother, so don't stress the relationship out with talks of marriage. If it is meant to be then it will happen. About his mother: Talk to her. You need to meet her. That could change her view of you. If you and him really wanted to get married, then you would need to meet his parents anyway. So meet her now and get to know her. Maybe after she gets to know you, then maybe she might lighten up about the whole marriage thing. But until then, just be happy with him, without the thought of marriage in the mix. Only time will tell, so be patient. Best of luck and if you need anymore advice, just note my inbox.
