I would be glad to.
The intention of marrying and marrying are two entirely different things. You introducing him as your boyfriend and him doing the same doesnt mean anything to your families or elders. A girlfriend is just that much most of the time…a girlfriend. Converting her into a wife is not something most men can do. If you want to marry him, dont be his girlfriend. The typical dater has many girlfriends but only ONE wife and most of the time its not a prior girlfriend. Remember that.
The reality is, if you’re a young man you can afford these relationships but when you get to a marriagable age…things change. The mentality changes, goals change, priorities change and most importantly…people change. What he wanted when he was 20 will not be what he wants when he is 26 or 27 and ready to marry. At that point, his family will be most important to him and if his family doesnt like you because you’re wearing blue and not pink…well…then you will not marry. You want him to respect you and marry you? Dont date him. As the saying goes: why buy the cow when you’re getting the milk for free? Thats not to say you and your boyfriend are doing anything haraam. Its how desi society works and views your relationship.
This isnt me talking, its society…the same society you have to live and grow up in.
