I've been with my current girlfriend for a while now, we are in
the stage of planning to move on to the next chapter and live our
lives together. However, I only know recently that her parents
is forcing her to end our relationships since the 1st day i met
them as they do not likes me without any particular
reason. I don't know where went wrong as I've treated her parents
with the upmost respect when i see them. And for the sake
of my girlfriend, I've given up the vices that I picked up during
my younger days (smoking, drinking and clubbing). I also earned a
decent salary of more then 5k though I'm only in my late
20s.
Her parents even went to the extend that if she chose to marry
me, they would try their best to stand in our way. I've tried to
find out te reason by trying to invite her parents out
for dinner her parents, but they do not even want to see
me. And whenever my girlfriend is out with me, her parents would
take turns to call her and chide her for being with me. As we
are from traditional chinese famillies, customary weddings is must
to my parents. If her parents strongly objects and choses not to
even meet my parents to discuss the wedding details, I am worried
that my parents would not approve to this marriage as well. I
wonder what should I do. Should I just give up on this relationship
or should I get on with it and put the marriage issues at
the back of my mind and pray that her parents will mellow
down one fine day???
Some random guesses in the ascending order of
dramatization:
1. They don't like you because of your past / something you did in
the past.
2. They don't like your family background.
3. There's a deep enmity between your family and her family.
4. You and her are blood-related and must not marry each other.
Seriously, if you want to know the reason, you gotta ask them
personally. Go pay a visit to her parents and try to have a good
talk with them (but be prepared for the worst).
