Back to being friends? iin?

We started out as friends. Then he said he wants to marry me. After much consideration i said yes. And now he says he cant marry me because of some family issues. His parents didnt agree. And he's totally cool with it. He says we can remain very good friends. Im like WTF!! :'( what kind of douche bag he thinks i am! He's being so insensitive.
Is it normal that he has actually DUMPED me n now expects me to be just a friend again,??and he isnt worried at all!

    Thankyou both of you! Yes, i think i need some time alone to think what do i want from this guy now. One thing is for sure, i dont want to settle for less. If he thinks im a ping-pong and can forget everything he said to me..then HE will be what im gonna forget :S

    Why should he care what his parents want when it comes to who he marries? If you both really love each other, then you shouldn't let other people get in the way of that! You deserve better :(

    Im here for follow up. It didnt end well between us. Things didnt work out. He said he tried to convince his parents but they didnt agree. Im not sure i believe that. We dont talk any more, he doesnt contact me. I miss him. So much for the fairy tales.

  • Did you make this story up after watching That 70s Show?

    @ ariannel: no, it wasnt going to be an arranged marriage. It was supposed to be love marriage.

    My first question is: are you marrying for love or is it a marriage arrangement? If for love then I'd have to say hell no its not normal for him to back out and want to remain friends. Doesnt sound like hes fighting for you real hard. If it never was about love then his request to remain friends sounds reasonable.

    I dont think you need to be getting married at 24, dont think the statistics are favorable for that age range.

  • This is a tough post to give advice to. I mean you waited till you gave him an answer and by the time you replied he had problems that he needed to work out. I think he does have feelings for you but just wants to wait till his family issues are resolved. You waited to give him a reply so he knows you like him, but things probably changed in the time you thought about his proposal. Just talk to him about how you feel, might clear things up for you.
