Marry local?
I dont know what to do, my family is expecting me to marry this balikbayan guy they set me up with but honestly, I'm super in love with someone local. We've been dating in secret for a while now and it feels so right, but I'm scared of what my family will say. They're always talking about how great it is to marry someone who's been abroad, like it's a status thing or something. I feel like I'll disappoint them if I dont go through with it. Just talking to my boyfriend about it is hard, he doesnt understand why I cant just tell my family how I feel ha. I wish I could just be honest with them, but I'm afraid of their reaction. I dont want to lose them, but I also dont want to lose myself in this process.
