Re: It all boils down to being a divorcee
All you can do is request him to speak directly with his parents and to do his best to convince them…(if you haven’t done so already). You can’t force him though.
Now if you HAVE already asked him to talk directly to his parents and he has made it clear that he’s given up…then to maintain your own self-respect…don’t push the matter any further. Just leave him be and go live your life. If he changes his mind, he knows how to reach you. But you shouldn’t be waiting for him.
If he doesn’t have the courage right now, then he may not have it later on …post-marriage…either. Falling in love, and all those pretty words, and hours of talking/meeting is the easy part. It’s all rendered empty if the other person won’t go the distance for you.
