My parents (including my mom) probably would’ve been FAR more dismissive if I had given them the indication that it was a random rishta. Also, my mom’s pretty smart and she was suspicious something was up for a while–had even asked me about it a few times.
I agree and so does my mom for the most part. Finding someone that fits most of their criteria (their actual criteria is fairly impossible to meet, tbh) and someone that understands/is supportive of my goals is >>>>> someone that fits their checklist. It’s just trying to get my dad to see past his expectations/fears and look at the guy in that way too.
iA everything will go smoothly. All I can do is make sincere dua at this point.
