[QUOTE="gagan, post: 55055, member: 1287"] hi there .. well what can i say.. i do sympathise with you and for the one that you love as i am/was in a similiar situation to yourself. i met this guy and instantly knew he was the one for me, a guy that i could take home and proudly introduce to my parents, as their son-in-law who would have been more than a son... but his family had other views... the same old caste problem. I also felt that they had turned me down on the basis of my caste, having not met me or spoken to me and not being given a single chance..they opted not to listen... ..He explained to his parents a dozen times but the answer was No...he even asked me to marry him and that parents will come round and accept us but i always had faith and beleived that one day they will give in, as at the end of the day i wanted to be part of a family not the root cause of the problem, not someone who was being selfish (well at the time the decision felt right) so insisted on waiting...but they never gave in...Time passed and we decided we had to move on, but only a few months later we came into contact and decided to be friends...which is even worse...as the hope still remains and is still alive. Although my parents were happy with my decision and agreed that as long as i was happy they were happy they accpeted our alliance but as it was a one-way situation and communcation was impossible they had no other option other than to introduce me to other guys...but one cannot take a decision that easily especially when your heart is soo in tune with the one that you want to be with..so how can i accept someone else?? that would truly not be an honest decision. i have tried and tried but i just cannot accept anyone else.... i still wait and could carry on waiting but how long can i keep parents waiting as they want to see me settled... Its been 4 years now...playing this waiting game, the heart still hopes that maybe one day...it will happen. He's seeing other girls and im seeing other guys only because we have to ...our hearts say something and minds say something else but neither of us is strong enough to make that one decision that could alter our lives altogether...so whos to blame? us? parents? time? circumstances? i just cannot understand how caste remains such a big issue? and to top it up, how ppl are soo specific with caste..jatt only..ramgarhia only??? i have looked into matrimonials and seen the specs..its unbeleivable ..never realised the big division in sikhi.. we just dont know where we stand.. At the time, had i not thought bout family, then maybe we would have been together, but we allowed our parents to take their time and think about it...we gave them due respect where it was needed...so should parents not be bit more considerate? does their childrens happiness not mean anything? as everyone deserves ONE chance? had they said no after meeting me then i could prob understand ...but how do i know what they think me or what reservations they have? i really dont know what advise is suitable ..everyones circumstance are different..just follow your heart but one think id say is dont commit yourself to someone just for the sake of it..not only will you not be happy but ruining someone elses hopes/dreams wouldn't be fair..just dont fall in to the families pressure..you have to be strong and support one another...thats what we did..and you realise that your realtionship becomes even stronger...rest is upto vaheguru and hes only able to decide whats in store for us...so the ? remains..... they say time is a healer...hopefully everything will work out right for you..i truly do hope it works out right as i know how it feels good luck vaheguru rakha [/QUOTE]
