Re: Question for the men here…
That is assuming that the parents dont change their tune once the situation is not hypothetical and is a real situation staring them in the face.
and its not just the guys and their parents.
in my case the demands changed from respect our religious rituals > participate in them > kids will be our sect > you need to covert etc etc. It got to a point i was more than willing to say sure, convert schmonvert, sure..but then they had to go tell my folks that i needed to convert. essentially creating enough roadblocks that my parents perspective was, now this is getting out of hand and we are not comfortable with it, shared their views of the potential issues, and ultimately left the decision to me. her family was important to her, and mine to me, so it was simply not going to happen, I called it off, we walked away.
One of the toughest decisions I had to make, but it was the right decision, had i not walked away, i would not have met babez and had i not met her, i would not be as happy as I am today and getting ready to celebrate another anniversary.
