My friend needs your advice.

A mature person gets into a relationship with the full trust and expectations of their parents, anything else and they are setting themselves up for hurt and disappointment and wasting the time of the person.

THAT means for example if your family won't accept a "xyz" bahu under any circumstances, but only "abc" then why waste your time with miss abc?

Likewise I won't get into a relationship with a gora and expect my parents to be hunky dory about it. Life isn't a damn bollywood movie or tv show where everything works out for the best.

When the next thread comes, we'll deal with it then.
