I know theirs some cultural differences and other culture has that once you reach 18 or so you can leave the house. But in asian countries like us our culture is different. You don't leave the house and even some who got married still live in their parents house and some even live in the compound along with relatives. Now the big question is this when family don't like your partner why are you willing to risk every thing included your family ties just to be with that person you love and after five to ten years you only get divorce?

It's hard to choose sometimes when it comes to your family and special someone. Some families don't like your preferred partner so your decision can really affect those who you both loved. Letting go, and giving freedom can also be part of loving someone. If your child loves someone and you don't approve them, I guess they have their own minds and if they are old enough they can make their own decisions. Parents are there to guide children but then ownself has its own decision. Whatever decision they make, it's their own choice. By committing mistakes, we can learn our lessons. The family we had will still be our family as long as we loved each other truely.

But that if you have an open minded type of parents but what if your parents is going to say its either our way or the highway? Then what then? I have chosen the high way long time ago if I can. Problem is that I'm not financially stable and I don't have a job for five years. Even though I want to find a decent job. With all the debt I incur I can't get away from here.

So you're telling me that you are on this kind of story. You have a girlfriend but then you want to go on your own way of living separately and have your life but then you don't have financial freedom so you still live with your family, is it? About your job, if I am not mistaken, you have referred something to me back then. I thought you are earning from that company. and five years of having no job? sounds familiar to me... I am in the same situation, my friend... Like you, I wanted to be free and live separately. Be independent and live for myself. I imagine sometimes getting my stuffs and things in here and stow away. Or it can be leave the house when they are all asleep. It can be possible. Have you tried it? But then if you try that one, meaning you can't look back. If you want to know where you are, leave them a letter but then telling them where you are can still be a reason to follow you. What can you say? What do you really want to happen now? Whatever it is, you know what you really want. It's just how you can do it.

Me in the story? Of course not. I'm just creating a scenario in here so that we can have a visual interpretation of what is really happening. Anyway. I don't know what company your talking about. Is it offline or online company? Been out of work for five years. don't online things for four years. And I loss lots of money online like in forex and in stocks. . I have tried it? I guess once but I just return back to where I belong. To my soft bed. lols I don't want to do anymore things that I don't think I can handle or stand up. If I want to do something drastic I want to make sure I can handle it.

That's true. Love is the greatest thing that come in our life. Its shows how mature we are in life. But things don't go as what we want it to be sometimes. that's why its important that we know what we are doing. If we just keep our mind close and just follow our heart we can end up at the losing end.

Your question is kinda harsh though that is true but of course not at all. I believe that the reason why they need to leave the family if in case that they don't like the partner it is because first they have to be independent. Then second this is to avoid conflict within the in laws or else that is going to be monsters in law.

monsters in law? Wow how do you know its the in law that is the monsters in here? lols. I guess that's part of building a family theirs always a resistance from parents. But show them their grand child and they all very happy. lols. But I guess that's really what is life is all about. we hate change but we welcome new life.

Love is not powerful, most people are not willing to leave their family. There are more people who give up the love of their life because of their family as leaving the family for the one they love. And the group who does is mostly female. Men give seldom up anything, no matter if it comes to family, habits, religion, their home(town) or country.

That's true. But sometimes you ask yourself is it worth it that you let go of love for your family. Is it worth it that they don't understand the sacrifice that you made? I think life is worthless if you don't do what you think is right. Its better to be a failure than to loss an opportunity.

well sometimes family needs to respect our decision, we are grown up we know what the best for us. And if the family can not accept and respect our decision then living them is the choice you have left. the decision to leave the family ties has nothing to do with the divorce itself. Leaving the family is about respect someone's decision and divorce is about two lovers decision after facing problem that occurs in their live.

Actually its nothing to do with divorce what I'm just trying to say that you are talking risk of living your family not only physically but mentally and emotionally and most your ties with your family. Will your family forgive you? I don't know and I guess its depends on how disappointed they are.

Its foolish to some and even to you. But many lots of new family was been created this way. And since this is a modern world now many does build a new family once they reach in their 20's. They become stable with income and they can raise a family of their own.

Yes.I would do it.It's my decision.Not theirs.If they don't like my partner,it's ok.It's not them who'll be dealing w/him for life.If our relationship doesn't work out,it's fine w/me to.It would just be a lesson for me that I've learned & I'll thank that person for the memories.

I guess that's what life is all about. Its weird that parents are always resistant to changes especially when some don't still see their babies grow. But its always better that your family and your partner are neutrally okay. Than having a resistance but I guess you are right. You going to spend the rest of your life with our partner so its a new adventure in our life.
