But situation became worse when my father came to know about my relationship n he initially said ok infront of me n asked my best friend about my boyfriend.. She completely told all things about him which should not be told... Whatever he is i love him n he loves me too... We accepted our past n respect each other... But my father feels he is most unsuitable guy for me n he has made me against my parents.. He feels i am immature to have taken such a decision...he eeven took me to a psychiatrist for a brain wash..n to extract my feelings thru the psychiatrist.. I have failed repeatedly in my postgraduate entrance exams as i am not able to concentrate on studies...my father wants me to concentrate on studies first as he to is at the same level in acedemics but he works n earns a good salary...

Hi Shruti,


There are different angles attach to your problem.

You are viewing it from an angle of a lover and so whatever happened so far is hard to digest for you. But try considering it from a perspective of parents. Every parent would wish their child to marry to a person who is a perfect match for their kid. If your family is denying your marriage with him, you need to understand, there must have been a good proven reason behind it. All I am hinting at is, don't just try to hide the negatives of your man covering it with purity of love.
realize, your parents are enough mature and experienced in issues related to relationships. They have seen people from all walks of life, relationships of all kind developing and breaking, heart renching and divorces. So somewhere they might be right in their way of thinking.

Now, what you got to do is, sit and talk to them and ask them their own version of reasons of denying this marriage. Try to understand their point of view and then decide onto things if you want to go for it or not.
Eloping away and marrying is definitely not the solution to the issue. Moreover failing in your exam years after years is also giving them a reason to reject your proposal and rather marry you to a guy who is financially secure in their eyes.


Ao, all I can say is RELAX, take a breath, think what is right and what is wrong and then act accordingly. If your best friend has suggest your father not to marry you to your boyfriend due to whatever reasons, and if, your father, after careful considerations has decided to reject the proposal also supported by your mother, then definitely they all must be right. When there are so many people not wanting it to happen, it doesn't take rocket science to understand that something, somewhere is wrong which perhaps you are not able to see or you are trying to hide it by covering it with love.

So, relax and take your time. Talk to your parents and your best friend. Take their opinions as well, think alot and then decide. If a person wants to be with you, he will be with you at all cost. So, you can put their family on hold for sometime.
