Dear PS:

“Another Indian parents against love marriage post”- and indeed there are so many of these stories, including here if you go back in pages of recorded threads.

The good thing is that you have been dating him for less than a year- less of a waste of time than let’s say a woman who dates a man for many years.

These are the indications that dating him is indeed waste of your time if marriage is your goal:

1. “his parents are completely against our marriage”.

2. “a lot of emotional blackmail from his parents… with bouts of suicide threats”- his parents are committed to win their fight against him marrying you, willing to fight dirty.

3. I expected him to .. get married with or without their approval. But he says he would never do that”- he says he would never do that!

You wrote: “I know through experience that it isn’t easy to find love”- but it is was less easy, or .. way more difficult for “Indian parents against love marriage” to give in to their son’s desire for a love marriage, this is why this is one story out of.. thousands happening as I type this, maybe tens of thousands.

I hope you post again with your thoughts and experience.
