Q:48) Dear, Rosa <br>


I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girl friend. She is twenty five
years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students.
Now we have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get
married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our relationship ever since the very first
time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my girl friend had the
power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me and she loves her family,
too. On the one hand she said, "I`ll be happy if my family is happy." It means she had to get
approval from her parents.For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our
relationship just at the time when I was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were
very happy. We had a lot in common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we separated
only because of her parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her aunt`s son (this is one of
the traditions in the Karonese).For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her.
Then we can eat together, talk together for hours. We act like elating because she loves me,
too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my girl
friend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one day she
will be back to me? <br>
