Hi, i am 22f and my boyfriend is 22m and we both have been dating together from a year now. As i am an Indian Punjabi girl and born in India.
I told my mom about him. and the response was obvious and she was mad at me that i am doing this wrong because he is outside of my culture. She gave me a choice to choose and asked me who is more important family or him. i said family is important but my inner voice said he is important too. she said to choose from family and him. I just want to convince my parents about it rather than just choosing one side, and leaving the other unhappy. i want my parents blessings of course but they are just not into this relationship.
My mom said just to stop talking to him and be happy. Like it was just nothing. I got attached to him because he listened to me and helped me all the time just like no other person in this world. and i just don’t want to forget him and move it to the other person like that is not my type. i just want to try harder somehow to tell them that he is the right person for me and i really love him. TLDR; needs some suggestions on how to convince my parents to marry the guy i love or should i just leave the one side?

This is the previous post
First of all why would you tell them unless you were planning on getting married???? Are u dumb
I hate how this is dynamic is still a thing in 2025
Just say you love him and he makes you happy
They should understand
If you want to hide it from them , go head. But they most likely know what you do , when you aren’t home
