\~Hi guys. I was mustering up the courage to share this but was hesitating. But at this point, it’s now or never.
​
My best friend studies in Grade 12, and the guy she is dating graduated from college last year in 2022. I’ve always noticed that she’s never been serious about relationships. But when she met him, I felt how strongly they connected with each other. I’ve never seen my friend so happy with anyone before. They’ve been together ever since. He has always been a kind, and goofy man to everyone he’s interacted with. Dude smiles, always tell jokes, and is absolutely open to her about everything in his life. So I completely believe that he would be able to keep her happy.
​
They are keeping their relationship a secret from their family members, because they are afraid that none of their families would accept. I have a feeling that her boyfriend might somehow convince his family about the girl he loves and cares about, but my friend’s family might most probably not agree to see their girl get married off at such an early age.
​
Unfortunately, his mother became ill in 2020 due to her brother’s death; she became paralyzed back then. Even though she got cured from her paralysis state, her health is still continuously degrading. Thus, his family is now trying to see him get married off, before you know, God forbid, his mother meets her demise. This sudden haste of marriage shook both of my friends’ souls, and now they are worried about how they are going to save their relationship. His family already started to look for proposals for him, and if they find one, there is no way out, he HAS to get married then. My friend is going crazy and is anxious about how to keep the man she shares her inner childish emotions with to herself.
​
This guy showed my friend what true love meant and all of us around them felt it, and are happy for both of them. But they have seem to hit a dead end, and none of them want to let go. They are in a quite convoluted situation atm.
​
Me and some of our friends gave them a couple of solutions, but none of it is potentially working. For the moment I told my friend that she should completely focus on her studies and I’ll gather in ideas for their relationship. But I am clueless at this point on how to give her some good effective advice that might actually help save this relationship. Please help.
