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?
now ask that to him, is he willing to give up his culture and identify for you? if he said yes then he should break their tradition to be w you
there's a lot of horror stories about losing their identity within the marriage and i know it was hell for them just by listening to it, now imagine yourself 10 years from now?
