I am in a relationship where the chances of the relationship being success is very minimal but still I cant leave her , so I stopped thinking about the future and I am sticking with her. Please tell me if what I am doing is right or wrong? Should I leave her and go as I know the chances to marry her are very less as her parents are very adamant and they will not allow for our marriage. or should I stop thinking about the consequences and be with her? I still haven't approached her parents. Please advise me on how should I proceed?

I feel be with her..Don't let her go if she too is sincere with u.Try your best to get approval from your parents.I don't want you to elope or marry someone whom you don't like.U will never be happy if u marry someone other than her.Remember that and plan accordingly.If u wish to marry someone according to your parents will then u will trouble both girls.Y should that girl suffer becoz of u.She marries you thinking u are everything for her and u will be cheating her.If u fail to get approval then atleast tell your story to whom ever, you are going to get married.Think positive and step ahead daringly.You will see all happiness later,otherwise u will have to regret all future.

That is exactly what I am thinking as of now. I know that i can't be happy if I marry another girl other than her and I don't want to hurt another girl. So all I can wish is everything goes normal and I get to marry the girl I love. Anyway thanks a lot for your comment.

Thats the way you should be... A strong decision is what is required.I don't want you to give up.Never leave her.Be positive.Let everyone know how much you love her.They will and have to accept someday.If they find you weak they will start dominating you and black mailing you.So be strong and firm with your decision.All will be fine.All the very best to you...I want you to win.Cheer up!

If you two truly love each other you should not care about what parents think. Sometimes their own judgement can actually be harmful in the long run. I have seen it happen. However, if you decide to leave her you should do it quicker. It is best not to stretch the relationship because it might at one point hurt both of you.

Yes you are right. But we want to try and convince their parents before we part our ways and I am praying God that it turns out smooth

Very generally saying that we never know the future. What's going to happen next who knows. Not only in the case of relation we have to stick with our positive thinking. When you are talking about relation then it is very difficult. But if you really like some one you should definately stick with her. If you give up you will be in p[ain for ever. Every second of your life you should think about it. No risk no gain. Best of luck with your relation.

If I am confident enough that the relationship would definitely fail, I would never try for it.

That will be up to and your girlfriend. If you really love the girl and willing to fight for her love - then you can try to prove to her parents that you can give her a good life and will love her. If they still didn't want you, they you and your girl could decide whether you both are ready to fight for it and continue the love you have for each other.

I think you should stick with her and keep being prayerful because there is nothing prayer can do. The girl has also got to talk to her parents afterall if they love her, they should want the best for her. If she really wants you, she should be able to convince her parents to let you marry her but if they do not accept still, well, i don't know what to say again cos its hard to leave someone you really want. May God in His infinite mercy help you out.

love is a powerful tool which can be changed bad guy to good. if your love is true i believe that she will change according to you. you have to love her after marriage when a practical life starts. circumstances during life time do not remain same. BEST OF LUCK

Yes, I am one of such fools out here who is so stupid who kept hoping against hope. It was long ago before my marriage though. We two were in love and things were going on pretty smooth for both of us. Marriage was on our minds and there seemed to be everything fine. It was only a matter of time before things would look cozy for us. I was also in the same situation as you are. When my girlfriend was not feeling well, I went to meet her at her place. Everything was fine until now. But when we went out in the evening, it were the cold days of December-January and we were real fools to eat ice-cream. Actually, it was not the cold days as the reason. However, she was asked by the doctor not to consume any milk products or the illness will stick its head out once again. And we got lost in each other and didn't remember this warning. The consequences were there for all to see. She again fell ill the same night and it was impossible to get things going on track. I know she was longing to be with me still in spite of all this. However, her parents, like your case were also adamant and we were prohibited from any sort of communication - no phone, no mails, no chatting, nothing. She was being screened by her family. After that, yes, life was difficult. I see you in the same place as me. Life seems tough suddenly. It depends on how much your girlfriend loves you and how much she is ready to sacrifice things for you. Is she ready to leave her parents for your sake? Do not take any decision without judging the consequences. Otherwise, let you be all by your own. Time is the best remedy if you really wish to forget her. As far as I am concerned, now, I don't have any ill feelings for my ex. The thought of me losing her is nothing now. Maybe because I got a more loving wife than her. But whatever, if you are determined to forget her, you can. It is all in the mind, after all.

Thanks a lot for your response and I guess both our stories are pretty much the same. I know that time heals everything so I am ready to take that pain if something goes wrong. Anyway I am happy to hear that you got over your ex and you are happy with your wife.

Here is a saying which English would be like this "remove your cloths thinking there is a river". Measure your love,ask yourself. ask her... will she be able to live without you... dont take a decision thinking that her parents are adamant, they may be soft to you. Most parents show it but practically they are not. All the best. THINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE LEAVING HER.

If you don't love her, why waste your time and stop thinking of your future? It is more difficult to stay with her but don't have any feelings. Time will come that you will no longer stay. Time will come that you are looking for someone that will make you complete. Besides, you yourself said that chances to be successful is very minimal. If you love yourself and your future family, we don't know if who would that be, then you must make the best decision. Always remember that head is created above your heart.
