Is this normal?

Re: Is this normal?

Well.... technically tehy have no relationship..their relationship won't begin until they're married. I know it suonds crazy but it's true. THe engagement period is VERY fragile.... the slightest thing between the families and it can break. If she meets him w/o letting any of them know, HIS family might take it the wrong way and blame her, fight wiht her family, and there ya go the engagement is off.....

But whatever his feelings/ideas/thoughts are, he has absolutely no right to be mean and sarcastic towards her. If he were really so "liberal" as opposed to "conservative", he'd respect her feelings and just wait , instead of being a jerk..
