pls help
so i have been dating my bf for 6 years now and we wanna get married. my parents are happy and support our decision whereas his family will only allow it if i give up my identity i.e change my name to match their ethnicity, shift to their locality and totally integrate into their culture. no compromises. since this is a long standing tradition my bf is in favor of it but i am hesitant to do so bc i take great pride in the name my parents have given me, my culture and identity as a whole. what do you guys think i should do? would it really be worth it to give up my own sense of self for the sake of love?
a lot of people put these burden on a woman as its in her nature to adapt out of "love for others", you may feel now this is the right thing to do as you love your boyfriend and may give into the pressure..but i want you to picture your life after 10,20 years, giving up your identity will take a toll and destroy you slowly from the inside.
