Dear Mihika Dutta:

“My only concern is if I’m ready to stand against everyone and be with him and stand by him why isn’t he. It’s the bare minimum I am asking for“-

– Maybe because of the following:  the custom is that parents live with their son and with their son’s wife and children when they get older, not with their daughter=>  parents instill in their sons a stronger sense of loyalty and obedience than they instill in their daughters=> your boyfriend is more loyal and obedient to his parents than you are to your parents=> he stands by his parents and not with you, and you are willing to stand by him and against your own parents.

Can this be an explanation to your “why isn’t he” question?
