Your every word connects with me.
However, in the time I was waiting for your reply. I talked to my boyfriend about this and what if things go towards the worst. that is my parents not agreeing if at all they get influenced totally by my sister. He said that there is no point of keep on fighting and resisting till the very end. So, he wants me to sit and ask her when she comes home that even when she disapproves, will she keep bothering us or just ignore our very existence and live her own life. He said unnecessary stress from her would keep on causing us pain. He said that since she does not intend to work, she will always have extra time on her hands to keep creating a ruckus in our lives till she makes everyone feel how right she is and how wrong we are. And all this will not only distract us from work but also cause stress to me and my parents. So, he said to just ask once and for all, if at all she will never forgive us and just ignore us or will she keep meddling. And if the case is the latter, then he said its best that we walk away because no amount of happiness in a relationship can mitigate stress on the personal front.
I don’t agree to it all completely but he is right in a few things. The current novel I am working on is about such dilemmas and how people with strong institutions go through them and solve them. This plus my education plus a job, I wouldn’t want such useless fights with my family. That said, If it so happens that I have to let go of this guy because of my family, I might not be able to forgive them for putting stupid things before my happiness.
