Okay so, as I have mentioned before, the guy I am dating was my sister’s friend. I am joining my Ph.D. in June and since I will be away from home, He wants me to not hide anything about us dating from my parents or siblings. I told my parents that I am dating him and that they should form their own opinions after they meet him instead of borrowing my sister’s. They agreed.

Also, the break that he said we should undertake in Dec., well it lasted for only a week. Neither of us found any point in staying away when we are happy together and also doing well in our respective lives when we have one another. But I didn’t say anything about the break to my sister nor did I tell her when we resolved the break. However, My mum told her about the break. She then resumed talking to me. I didn’t know the reason she was normal to me. I thought she was okay with it now. Later when I got to know about the actual situation that my sister thought I was on a break with my guy, I thought I will sort it out when my entrance exams get over. My last exam was on the 3rd of April. I decided and spoke to my parents about the relationship and I think I should talk to my sister as well. She is in another city and will be visiting soon, but my dilemma here is how to proceed. Although I don’t care for her approval, the guy I am dating, well he wants that even if she isn’t happy about it, she should at least know so that she doesn’t come to know from an outside source and think that we lied to her about the relation.

I don’t know how to proceed in this. To be honest, I am a bit tired confessing and convincing people! I wish I was living in a western country where children tell their parents and family about their decision and just leave them to deal with their own reactions.
