Hi mam, I want to share my story and I need some opinions. I’m 29yrs old and belong to a Brahmin family. we are not much into poojas or any. we are a kind of modern Brahmins family and my parents are also not so devotional.

Till this time, I and my parents are supportive of each other, and I’m earning woman. From the day I started earning I’m always helping my family with their needs. I never betrayed them in any situation. I always wanted their happiness.

Around 2016 I had a bad breakup during my college days. There since I never ever became interested in marriage and love someone again. This year I met my colleague in the office and slowly started showing interest in him and he too showed the same interest. In the early days, we thought it was an attraction. But, later on, it became a habit. Now we are loving and like each other so much.

He said our matter to his parents they accepted. but when I said it to my parents the entire world got reversed. They started blaming me for loving other caste boys. They started cursing me. They scolded me like I never expected a mom to scold me. I’m imagining their position by standing in their shoes. But they are not even ready to think why I love him or talk to the boy once.

They are just ordering me to stop loving him forget him and marry the one we show and adjust. This is all because I just know my colleague only for 7 months. I don’t know what to do. It’s like choosing one eye from both of my eyes.

My parents are always saying You can’t be happy in another caste. How our relatives will see you. What about our respect? What our relatives will say to us. We can’t compromise on this issue. so better you compromise and adjust. Because we will see a good a better alliance so that you will be happy forever.
