Dear Rkallas:

Are you close with your parents? Do they support you marrying a woman of same religion and do not support you marrying a woman of a different religion? Do they know about this woman in your life that you have been dating for a year and a half?

If you are now willing to marry this woman of a different religion, the way to show her that you are serious is to introduce her to your parents and show her that they are willing to have her as your wife in every way. Or, you can show her that you will live with her, fully committed to her, without your parents’ support and that you are willing to distance yourself from any and every family member who disapproves of the marriage.

Your heart just got broken. maybe her heart was broken many times in these year and a half as she knew you wouldn’t marry her. It makes sense to assume you have a desire to marry her only so to keep her from the other guy and once he is out of the picture, you will not follow through with marrying her.

WIll you answer my questions above?
