I think a lot of the time the parents do come round in the end tho.. My mum was one of them (in the case of my brother’s now wife).. Patience is the best thing in these situations, most parents aren’t ruthless/heartless/stubborn enough to risk losing their child over their choice of partner.. Apart from my brother we know a few other families in these situations and in all but one case it all worked out fine..

Yeah some parents do come around I am not doubting that at all, i just think in terms of where there is a religious barrier its harder.

Also I was having this discussion with my friends (the ones who are dating guys of different religions) and we were all talking about our experiences ( mine being i was in a relationship 4 years ago with a guy my parents would not have approved of even though he was muslim) and we all sort of said the same things, if it is a choice between unhappy parents on the wedding day or losing the Boyfriend we would ditch the boyfriend in the blink of an eye.

All three of us have parents who are getting older now and all of us have parents with health issues, and although my parents are crying in their turmoil they say they would rather leave their boyfriends than cause even one moment of stress to their parents, i guess im the same.

Im really glad it worked out for your brother you know

Im just quite cynical when it comes to these matters and have discovered when my parents are happy, even though sometimes their happiness comes in weird twisted ways I live my life much more peacefully.
