My boyfriend, for a year, and I are of different culture and religion. We ourselves have no problems with that and are happy with each other. We love each other. The problem started once he spoke to his parents. They have emotionally blackmailed him to forget me. He is consciously making an effort to comply. He does still miss me, but to satisfy his parents does not communicate with me. What do I do? -His Family Or Me

Dear His Family Or Me,
If he is not strong enough to be able to stand up for his right to love you, then he isn't the right one for you. Let's flash forward a few years and say that your relationship made it to the marriage stage. What kind of marriage do you think you would have? Chances are you'd continually fall second to his family. I don't know about you, but that isn't the ideal relationship situation I'd like to find myself in. If you want to save this relationship, you need to let him know that he needs to find some balance between his love for his family and his love for you. If he chooses to make his family his top priority, you are WAY better off nursing your broken heart. Then when you are ready, move on to finding someone who will appreciate you the way that you deserve.

With Love,
