I am 22 and have currently graduated from University. I have been in a 2 year relationship and as my degree is finished, came clean to my parents about my boyfriend. However we are of 2 different religions. I am Sikh and he is Hindu Punjabi.
At first i assumed this would not be an issue for my parents as he is of the Punjabi culture, he has achieved a degree in a top university and also has a good career. However when i first told my parents, they both seemed very worried. My father stopped talking to me. My mother told me that my father is not happy with the situation, and that he will never agree to us getting married due to the nature of the actual marriage.
My mother never gave me much option about my boyfriend, she only said i'm allowed to find my own boyfriend if hes Sikh or let them find me someone. This left me no option but to end it with my boyfriend however we both still feel very strongly about each other. I told him he needs to not let me stop him from finding a future wife whose family will accept him. I am completely torn.. i want my family to accept him for my happiness and i do not want to lose my boyfriend but i do not want to lose my family either. What do i do?
Very Confused
