[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 216240, member: 138"] What kind of suspicious behaviour? I have had Gora err mostly Gori friends since I was at school in Ferozepore, India. In fact, I have always had many more female friends than male ones. Yes, we had some Gora families living in our hometown who went to the same school. Would you want him to be monogamous with his gori gf? When I was a teenager- about 17, and living in the UK with my brother and sister in law, I used to tell them the night I was not coming home and used to leave them the telephone number where I was, just in case. Your post made me smile and frown at the same time when you said, "We were suspicious." Suspicious about what? About him being 27? About him having physical and sentimental desires? So what if he had a girlfriend gori/desi/mixed/fish n chips......? Well, if he wants to move out with her, and if I were you, I would rent a flat for him and ask him to tell his gf to move in with him. In case they break up, he does not have to come knocking at your door. You would be truly helping him like this. There is nothing wrong with having girlfriends. Why do you blame him lying to you? Do you think partly you and your hubby are responsible for his lies? Kudos to her. Oh... OK, I get it now. It is all about your status in da hood. In other words, you are more worried about other people's feelings towards you rather than your son's welfare and happiness. What a self-centred way of living, especially as a Sikh family I must say! In the end, it all boils down to the so-called 'bezti-dishonour' in da hood. It has nothing to do with your son as a matter of fact And I happen to agree with him. Who do you blame for that or rather why do you blame him for that? I am sorry to say but you sound a bit racist to me by talking about Goras in this derogatory manner whilst being part of the Gora country. It seems a bit weird, to put it mildly. There is nothing wrong with having Gora friends. My desi friends still owe me thousands of pounds that I lent them more than 40 years ago. Who would you blame for that too? But putting blames aside, is there any way he can work with any of your prominent friends to make ends meet? I am sure both of you as his parents can arrange that which will help you and more importantly him. So, she is half gori and her gori side told your son to let his parents know about their relationship which was commendable on her part. As far as a divorce is concerned, it seems you are blaming her English mum not her Desi dad. Why is that? Why did they divorce? Was the mum the victim of domestic abuse by her desi hubby? Lastly, what do you find wrong with divorce if either or both are abusive and do not get along? First of all, "premarital physical relationship" is a misnomer if the couple is only dating and active sexually but do not plan to marry. Secondly, so what if she is a Buddhist? Now I am more confused than ever. As you are quite prominent in your social circle, then why wouldn't your prominent friends/relatives ready to lend you a hand? There is no crisis here that you are talking about and I am sorry to know that both of you are crying which would not help either. Is it more of a desperation on your part because you see your desires of having a Desi daughter in law to show to your prominent friends being shattered by your (only) son or do you have other kids? In other words, it is not about anyone's happiness but it is all about the prominence of the circle you are part of. I hope I am wrong for the latter but there is no crisis. Happiness is not a cul de sac but a roundabout. We are all here for you as listeners. We cannot do much. This matter is between you, your hubby, your son and the woman he loves. You two, the heads of this family can either act as a bond/glue or as a paint stripper. The choice is yours and your hubby's. I hope you make a wise one. Good luck! Tejwant Singh . [/QUOTE]
