Hi, ive been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 5 years and we are each other’s soulmates. We hardly fight, we respect, love, care for one another. I try my best for him as much as he tries for me. Long story short, we are not the problem.
How evil, they are many people who do not like seeing us together due to our success. Many people make up stories about me to his parents and i can hardly make them believe me anymore. They think im not good for him. My boyfriend is trying his best but so far, the family still disagrees and do not approve our marriage plan.
Anyone went through this and still managed to get married? I will not ask him to leave his family, so this is not an option. Will you leave the love of your life over this conflict? Is this a test or its just not meant to be?

No one gets to choose who I marry except me. It’s my life and happiness and body. I do think it’s strange there’s so much gossip that your parents a re believing instead of actually having a relationship with both of you for 5 years and seeing your relationship themselves.. .. do your parents not trust you or want you to be happy? But overall, this is your life, your heart and body
“Managed” to get married? You don’t need anyone’s permission, you just go do it. I’m fortunate that my family likes my husband but I would have married him even if they didn’t.
It’s your life, not your family’s life. If you want to marry him, just do it.
Even in highly communal societies parents must recognize and accept their child’s choice of partner. It is on your boyfriend to put his foot down.
