Hi Shantigirl,

I just came across this post today, I wonder how you are right now and how you cope.

Me and my boyfriend for 2 years who is an Indian is also being arrange by his family. Everything happened so fast, my boyfriend is saying no and even made me speak to his family on skype. His dad knows about me but only after my boyfriend admitted that he confirmed that we are in relationship. After the skype call, still his family wants him to go ahead and meet the girl, they cannot accept me because i am a foreigner. His mum is crying and emotionally blackmailing my boyfriend, my boyfriend cannot hurt his mum so better that he has to choose them. It was very hard, even I cannot imagine that this happen in real life. I was just trying to be strong and show him any sign of weakness from me as I know it will only give him hard time.
