I have being with a girl since two years ago.We love and help eath other.But my parent object to our relation because the girl is not well-educated and not very beautiful.I don't care about her appearance and her job,I just feel that she is not only my lover, but my friend indeed.She is so kind a girl.
My parent asked me to break with her many times,but I don't want to hurt her.However, I couldn't hurt my parents either,What should I do?

You are the only one that can make the decision that is right for you. I do believe that if you truly love the one you are with you would not put any one above them. They would come first no matter what others want. Some of my husbands family did not really like me at first and would have rather him be with someone else. He finally told them he was going to be with me and marry me weather they liked it or not. His family has accepted it and we all get along. If they still don't like me I don't know cause they all treat me very nice now. I love his family and I hope they love me. So if she is the right one for you and you truly love her she would be the one you choose above any one else. If you have to even think about who to choose my guess is she is not the right one for you. I hope that you do what is best for you and it all works out the way it is supposed to. Good luck in your decision and best wishes.

More than likely if the girl loves you she will not find another man no matter if you were to treat her bad. If she loves you she will stand beside you and then if you can not love her enough you are hurting her and yourself. You are looking for the easy way out by hoping that she finds someone else and breaks it off with you. You need to be a man about it and either love her enough to stand up for her or let her go. Best of luck to you.

Thank you very much for telling me your experience.I learned much from your story.I'm now hesitating.Maybe I should stand by my parents' side,but I do hope the girl will find a new boyfriend better than me and then tell me she want to break up with me.Now,she doesn't know my parents' thought and I didn;t tell her about that.I don't want to hurt her.

Yes i do see that you're in a difficult situation right now. Its a hard decision to make since its between your love for family and love for your lover you are against. I ask you which weighs more to you right now. How do you feel if you follow your parents? Will that make you happy in the end that you followed your parents? Or might as well ask yourself if you would have followed your heart over your parents would you be able to handle things with them and fight on your love ones. Which ones will make your life better? I know both will but I am pretty sure there is one that will most likely be the better option. I am not suggesting anything because it is you who can feel and decide on your own. You hold your life and your life is yours to command whatever your will, will in the end would always be yours and I advice you to choose wisely.

well i think that your a good guy to date a woman weither looks or job neither doesnt matter , your parents are going to be your parents forever and i understand that you want their respect at all times however you should be enough now to make your own descions and make kyour own path in life , if you stay with the girl no matter what your parents think , which you should do in the first place cause you should always consider the woman in the relationship before your parents and espically if your old enough too ,

First,I feel sorry to hear about your sadness .sometimes the reality is cruel,we meet the unpleasant all the time. we cant get enough satisfactories. it is not easy to sovle the problem.
but my advice is if you have strong love with each other ,hold on it .since missing it may be a regret forever . and this time you should stand by the side of her and help her to build herself and achive the aim of your parents. she can get the re-education .no one will reject a positive person ,including your parents. and later l give further suggestion ok .glad to meet you !!

ok, I totally understand you. It is a problem many Chinese guys have run across or will meet, trying to reach a balance between parents and beloved ones. Generally we cannot ignore the feelings of our parents. My suggestion is to have a really sincere and open talk with your parents, telling them how you feel about the girl and how you have suffered from being stuck in this situation. I think they will finally understand you, if the girl is as good as you have said. After all, your patents love you.

Well, if it was me, and this was someone I really Loved, I would have to explain to my parents, that I Love this person I am with, and I do not care about money, looks, etc. Your happiness should be what matters most in this situation. If you are not happy then leave, but do not leave just to make your parents happy, and end up regretting it down the road wondering always, "What If."

Howdy friend! If you think you can handle your parents then why not? I believe that breaking a heart of a sweet girl is cruelty. Unless you dont love her? Do you? Parents will always be there for you. I suggest you build up your girlfriends profile to your parents let them know how much she cares for you. As for you do things that will make your parents proud. So that they wont turn on your girlfriend every time are mad or upset. :D

I think you should not hurt your girlfriend,because she will go along with you in the long life way!
Besides, you need not hurt your parents, you should help your girlfriend to prove to your parents she is the best couple for you!
You only need the time which could help you,don't so worry!

I remember a sentence.
That is "Your life is your own affair"
I don't know what suggestions are fit for you .After all it is your life . Resignation and part or insisting on your love and having happy or bad end,these are up to you !
ask yourself what you really want !

You are in a trouble that a lot of chinese boys and girls are in or will be in.
My advice is "Loves finds a way." Love is one of the most powerful and determined forces in the world. Two people in love will "find a way" to be togeher.
You love you family and your girlfriend, so they love you.
You will make it together.
Good luck to you!
