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?
Your bf never loved you for who you are if he is so adamant about you changing your identity. Fight this.
If I'm marrying someone I would never ask them to change their identity because at that point, I would love them wholly and unconditionally for who they are. That's why I'd marry them in the FIRST place.
Also, this conversation should have be...... reply
