What should be done?

Hello everyone!
I and this guy have been in love with each other for the last one and an half year.We both have been trying to make our parents agree,but neither of us’'parents approve of our relationship,and they wish us to marry someone they would choose for us.
Okay recently we both had a fight,and after that,he tells me that,lets break this relationship,and lets remain friends only.But i dont want to break it off.What should i do?:frowning:

Re: What should be done?

It takes two hand to clap. Listen to him. He is no more interested. May be tired of struggling. Just let it go.

Painful? Yes it will be. But time heals everything.

Stalk the bugger. Become his worst nightmare.

Hmm i'm in a similar situation (except only my parents are stubborn, his are ok). I even told him that "hey you know, i've tried talking with my parents and they aren't really warming up. and i don't want you to waste your time either. and i think in the long term, if either set of parents isn't happy, we aren't going to be either. so i'm ok with you moving on, and finding someone else. and i'm not going to have any harsh feelings against you ever for that, we can just agree that it wasn't meant to be."

So I guess i'm sort of like your guy. it sounds like he's exhausted by this in-between thing and just wants a resolution. and since it can't be yes, he is choosing no. not because of you, but just cuz it's the only remaining choice. i would give him some space for a while. maybe he needs the space to clear his mind. it might also make him appreciate you more. and if it happens, it happens..if not, well we have to move on. i cried a lot about the prospect of losing him before, but now im just matter-of-fact about it because i know i've tried my best. if we get married, i'll be grateful..if not, well, i will already be half over him since i've been stuck in this 'uncertain' phase for so long.

So should i agree to be just friends with him?

Re: What should be done?

^ of course, if you don't have any self respect.

Re: What should be done?

What do you mean?:aq: Pls explain clearly!

Re: What should be done?

I could do that, but I love leaving people hanging in the middle :k:

:k:

Re: What should be done?

So that means i shouldn’t agree to be friends with him?:aq:

you got it right!

Re: What should be done?

I don't get how you can be friends with someone you supposedly love.
If I was in love with someone and couldn't be with them, I couldn't be their friend!!

Re: What should be done?

After being in love and breaking up you cant be friends...so better quit it if marriage is not the ultimate solution...as self respect is important than love and pain

If he’s suggested that you guys part.. do just that! I don’t get how people can go from being in love.. to being friends. Ignore him completely.. he isn’t worth it. End all contact ad move-on.. (as hard as it may seem)

But he himself has suggested both the things that we both go apart,and become just friends only.

Re: What should be done?

Maybe in the future you guys can be friends, or at least be around each other without too much awkwardness. But you will have to cut off ties for now, because you won't be able to properly move on without doing that. Your feelings are too fresh and raw right now.

Re: What should be done?

let him go....

U're an individual.. not a puppet! If he's suggested parting ways.. make a clean break with no strings attached. Men say all kinds of strange things.. why should you follow it blindly.

He no longer wants a relationship or loves you, move-on..not point in being 'friends'.

Re: What should be done?

These boys should either 'man up' or just not get involved with these girls in the first place. So pathetic! You are better off without him, at least you won't have to spend the rest of you life with a child.

I think some people are taking away some of the credit from the guy, I mean he "maned" up and talked to his parents. Its another thing that they don't agree, but so is the case with the girl's parents. Hey autumn, I say u should talk to the guy and ask him that buddy wat changed cuz i'm sure these parent problems didn't just crop up right now and if you can talk it out with him then well and good and u can tell your parents too that this guy is nice enough and has enough respect for u that he was ready to let go because u didn't approve of him. Atleast this way you'll kno for sure what went wrong and get some type of closure
