Dear bad_pup:

If she lives with her parents, I can understand how difficult it is for her to live under “a lot of pressure.. to break this off and get married to (a) guy”. If she lives close to her parents and sees them often, their pressure is enough to make her life very stressful. Reads like her parents are being at least part successful in their aggressive efforts to cause her to break up with you.

Maybe your parents don’t pressure you as aggressively, or you are not living with them?

I don’t know your approximate ages, whether the two of you are employed and able to live independently from your respective parents, I don’t know where in the world you live- how homophobic or supportive society is, where you live. If you’d like to share, please do, and I may be able to “offer any suggestions or ideas” to you.
