In the east Indian culture arranged marriages are the norm. Did he ever mention a woman that his parents had chosen? A lot of times these arrangements are made when the couple are still children. They don't see each other until close to the wedding day.
BUT having said that he should have grown a pair and told his parents that you were the chosen one. His parents could have accepted it or not. He has the choice if running his own life and not his parents tellin him what to do.
He mentioned that his parents said he should get married soon but they hadn’t picked any one out yet, as they themselves had a love marriage 40 years ago. They are fine with him choosing as long as she’s Indian which I am obviously not.
They told him it’s his choice but they didn’t like it the first time they had this conversation. This last time, they changed their minds and told him they can’t be happy if he’s with me and that he abused his freedom they gave him. Which made me feel really terrible. I felt even worse when he wouldn’t even attempt to stand up for me a second time. He was talking about getting married and all that serious stuff but ended it very quickly after his parents intervened. My other option was to move to India where his parents already told him that they and the extended family would never accept me and they didn’t want me there.
IIN my Indian boyfriend broke up with me because of his parents?
