Long Distance

Matched but parents not okay?

3

I met my girlfriend through a dating app, we been talking for long long time and everything seems perfect. But my parents found out and they are very very upset, saying it's not a proper matrimonial site. They want me to marry a girl they choose, it's a big big problem for me. I told them I love her only, but they not listening. I am in Gulf for work and my girlfriend is in India, so it's hard for us to be together. I don't know what to do, my parents are not okay with our relationship na?

    Honestly, I've been in a similar situation before, my wife is from a different faith and our families didn't exactly see eye to eye at first... actually, it took a lot of talking and explaining for them to understand. What I did was invite my girlfriend to meet my family, and we had a big discussion about our plans and future together. Actually, it helped my parents see that she's a good person and we're really in love. You could try doing the same, maybe plan a trip for your girlfriend to meet your parents, and have a calm talk with them about your feelings. It's not gonna be easy, but it's worth a shot, right?
