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?
No compromises?? If they do not have the empathy to understand that your culture and identity is as important to you as theirs is to them, then I think it will be an ongoing problem. If you already now encourage that their culture is worth more than yours, then I’m afraid it might subconsciously become a general attitude towards you.
