TL;DR: I have been in a relationship since my FSc, and now I am in my 3rd year of university. My girlfriend feels guilty about hiding the relationship from her family and wants me to send a proposal after I get a job. I need about one more year to complete my BS and start working, but she is receiving other proposals and doesn’t know what reason to give her parents for rejecting them. I am confused whether I should send a proposal now without a job or wait. I feel hurt because I think she is suffering because of me.
Full version:
I have been in a relationship since my FSc, and now I have completed my 3rd year of university. Recently, my girlfriend told me that she feels guilty whenever she looks into her parents’ and siblings’ eyes. She feels guilty because she is in a relationship and hasn’t told them everything.
She says that she wants me to send a proposal when I have a job, so there is less chance of rejection from her family. However, I still need at least one more year to complete my BS and then start my career.
The problem is that she is receiving many other marriage proposals, and she doesn’t know what reason to give her parents for rejecting them. She is under pressure, and I feel helpless.
Now I don’t know what I should do. Should I send a proposal even though I don’t have a job yet? Is there a chance her family will accept it? Our families already know each other and have a good opinion of one another.
I feel extremely emotional about this. I cry when I think that she is going through difficulties because of me, and it hurts to see her struggling because of our situation. I just want to make the right decision for both of us. #current_events #local source
