Question Basically i am white jewish and i was going out with a muslim indian guy. We got on very well and generally enjoyed being in each others company. Although there were some obvious religion differances it didnt seem to bother us. The problem was our parents. His parents said they wanted him to get an arranged marrige and my family said that it is against our religion even though we are not religious its just a religion i was born with. Due to this we split up but i miss him all the time. I always think of him but my family are telling me i should start seeing a white guy and someone more my age as he was 34 and im just 19. Was i in the wrong to date him?
Answer Even though most people would say you're "too young to fall in love", I don't think that. I do think however, that you're too young to know what you want right now in the long run. When you're young, everything seems so right, but trust me, big decisions such as marriage comes back to haunt most 18/19 year olds. Regardless of his race, you need to give your relationship more time before you consider marriage. In the meantime, you will get to know him better, and just maybe, he will grow on your parents too.
As far as your family, its always good to get advice from them. But now that you're older, you're coming to the point where you need to decipher your own decisions without mommy. Don't get me wrong! Adive from your parents is good, but they simply cannot dictate your life and choices. Your parents disagreance would have NEVER made me break up a bond between me and my BF. IF YOU 2 LIKE EACH OTHER, DECIDE THAT ON YOUR OWN, and if you 2 really love one another, nothing can break you apart. NOTHING.
