Is he worth fighting for?

"Love is a battlefield." This is what my friends usually told me whenever I am feeling troubled about a relationship problem that concerns two of the most important people in my life. A problem that is asking me to make a decision between my parents and my boyfriend. All my life I've been following my parents' decisions but not until I experienced LOVE. It was an experience that made me feel that it was time for me to make a decision for myself but still, I am a coward that I let myself be driven by my parents' pressure over me. I told my parents about my boyfriend because I cannot lie to them and I'm expecting that they will understand, but all they did was to scold me angrily. From that day on, I stopped any form of communication with my lover even though it painfully hurts me. Every night before I sleep, I'm asking myself "Did i make the right choice or it was a mistake that I didn't fight for him?" I love him, I really do love him BUT is it right to select him over my parents? Is he really worth fighting for?

Glecalleja, no one can guide you on this! Your fate is in your hands and yours alone.

What are the things that I should consider in order to make the right choice? Will I choose what my mind wants or what my heart loves?

All I can say is, that when you really love this guy, fight for him. Convince your parents that you truly love him. I sense that your parents control your life a lot, something I'm not used to. So, show them your feelings and stand up for your rights.

Thank you so much for your comment. It somehow made me stronger. I guess, it's time that I'll follow my heart's desire and give myself a chance to be happy.

See from your parents side they are right but you should not let it go as you feel you are right you should fight for your love i am not telling that go against you parents but just conveys them for your love. Ya but firstly see whether you really cannot leave without him? Then you tell about him to your parents. No but you had no guts then why did you felt in you. Secondly do you feel he is a good person and he wont leave you till the end then just go for your love and if you feel no then go with your parents and if you are doubting (means any negative feeling) a bit then also go with your parents then your decision is right for going with your parents

I love my parents but I also love him. I wanted to be a good daughter but I also wanted to be a good lover. I can't live without my parents but now that he came into my life, I could say that I already felt incomplete without him. I know he loves me and cares for me a lot but is that a measurement for concluding that he's really worth it? I'm thinking that "maybe" he could talk to my parents first or seek for my parents' approval so that my parents would also know that he is a nice guy with clean intentions. Do you think it will work?

See i have also done love marriage and same condition was my few year before but i choose to go with my love as i had commented him before its not like that i dont love my parents but in any new relationship there should be trust and i felt in my relation secondly no parents will allow their daughter to do love marriage till the boy is in caste because parents feels that the boy is suitable for you and other many things. and talk to them its ok let your relation go further let your parents known him.In many case it wont work but there are many rare case it can work pray god this should work your parents should like that guy otherwise other ways are there first you try this one lets see what happens ALL THE BEST And you are free to ask any question regarding your issue
