    Ngl cracked up when you ended up making more then the parents and they busy critiquing you

    she’s in her 20s like that and is chained down? It’s tough dude but at the end of The day if she loves you, she’ll find a way back to you no matter what and that’s what’s most important. Parents can’t stop that n-----. g--- g---

    At the end of the day, she’s a grown a--- woman & has to find her independence. Sacrificing her own happiness to please her mother/family is no way to live. If she cares about you & wants to be with you, she should be with you. Period. You need to reiterate that to her. Tell her she’s not a child, she’s a grown adult fully capable of making her own decisions & life choices. If she can’t do that then as much as it sucks but you should probably move on. It’s not fair for you to be sticking around waiting for someone who’s 23 years old to make decisions for themselves.

    While the forum is dead af maybe some of you can give me advice on my relationship.

    So I been dating this girl for over a year and a half, I'm 25 and she is 23 (FYI I'm white from UK and she's Sri Lankan but been in the UK since she was a lil kid)

    Since we met the whole relationship has been pretty much perfect. Great connection, chemistry, barely argued, never been close to breaking up.. Sure there's been a few differences but no 2 people are the same. By and large though it's honestly been amazing and we have been best friends and lovers in that time period, even went on holiday together for a week last year

    This all changed 7 days ago when she finally told her mum about me. Now I kinda knew that her mum was controlling and a little crazy, but deep down I thought she would accept me once she had met me and seen what I was like. My gf was worried but also said this too. At the end of the day I have treated her daughter with nothing but respect, love and we've both been sooo happy together

    So my girl told her last Friday evening and her first question was what I did for work and if I have been to university, and once my girlfriend told her she said that she must end it with me or end up getting disowned.. At first I was like holy s--- that's extreme, but give it a few days hopefully she will cool off and change her mind.. Nope. I told her that your mum will try and play on ur worst fears and get in your head but u can't listen because it's bs and we know what we have. When it comes to her mum tho she's obviously easily influenced, her mums been controlling, manipulating and overbearing as f--- her entire life. The very next day the messages started to feel a little less hopeful and more in the direction of the mother's mouth.

    The mum says I don't have a good enough job, I'm not educated enough and this will be a problem in the future and I won't be able to support my gf. Now I know this is ridiculous because my job currently is pretty good, I'm on an upward trajectory in life but the mum has said "it's not stable" and that what I do "might not even be a thing".. Bare in mind I get paid more than her parents do now at their jobs, and more than my current gf (although she has a degree and I don't)

    Her mum is saying in future our salaries will be unequal and I won't be able to support her and that basically I'm going to fail in life. My gf claimed she backed me up and says she loves and believes in me still but cannot convince her mum and so she has no choice. Her mum got the family against her and she's essentially been on lock down for a week with all of them saying the same thing and it's brainwashing her. Over the weekend there was some glimmer of hope but effectively she said it was over on Tuesday. I just feel like it's so f----- up cos I haven't even been given the chance to meet her family, and I've not been given the chance to see her either because her mum literally has her on house arrest. I've been talking to her a little just to try and see her but last night she said her mum went crazy and asked her if she's been talking to me and accusing her of going back on her decision, then spent the next morning crying about it! Wtf?

    Anyway I just feel mad angry and heartbroken tbh cos it was going amazing and just cos her mum doesn't approve of my current status in life she has said dump me or end up getting disowned, and I haven't had the chance to do s--- to back myself or defend our relationship. My gf is so terrified of her mum she is just being obedient to it. It sucks cos I know she really does love me and she still tells me this, but is saying that it's over and there's nothing I can do to change it cos her mum and family are stubborn

    So question is what do I do? I'm hoping to meet her soon to try and reprogram her mind a little, then hopefully get to meet her mum and try change their minds. Appreciate any advice in these lost times

    Edit: sorry long as fu k post

    Can't give you any better advice than this. I'm sorry @Koke that's a s-----y situation. But yeah I'd just be honest and tell her you wanna be with her but are hurt that she folded that quickly. I'd be blunt and say something like "If you truly want to be with me, there's nothing stopping you."

    Forget about her and if you are really in upward trajectory some girl will come to you in no time. Easily. Don’t stress it.

    Dude this is the thing, we have a 2 week vacation booked for next month, all accommodation was booked a couple days before she told her mum.. Had plans to move in together by the summer, I know it sounds unbelievable (cos it is) but s--- was legit amazing
    Yeah deep down I know this, in her case the fear of abandonment and shame is too much for her to cope with. Sucks man but I can't force her to grow up, and hurts cos s----s been taken away from me and feeling like a waste of time. She was the first proper girl I ever loved fr

    Are you sure she's telling you the truth about her "mom" making her break up with you?

    this all seems kinda fishy to me, maybe this is all her and she's looking for a copout

    You're asking advice for this situation on a forum where almost everyone was born and raised in progressive western cultures. All you're gonna get is "they're backwards she's an independent woman if she really loves you she'd ignore her family". They're technically right but but they don't really understand how different the mindset is and how important family is in more conservative cultures.

    Your gf was raised from birth believing that life is family from cradle to grave. Even after marriage the two families just become one. What job/education/family you have is important because they want guaranteed stability and safety for their kids. That's why they're such an overbearing pain in the a---. Progressive western cultures on the other hand are all about individualism. Once you're of age you can just say aight cheers for raising me im boutta head out i'll be in touch tho love ya mom xoxo.

    Family having control over you is inconceivable in western mindsets so automatically it's "wow her mom is a crazy b---- she's been manipulating and gaslighting her all her life. I wish she could see the red flags. That's textbook narcissism. But my gf is easily influenced since she was brainwashed from birth she can't really think for herself. Sigh I guess it's up to me, Captain of the Enlightened World to convince her that her mom is a sociopath. But I can't seem to convince her to leave her family and come to me. I thought she loved me? Was it all a lie? I've only been dating a year and a half but I can't fathom breaking up because I don't want to face the dark, lonely void of being alone again. How do I reprogram her mind a lil?"

    Truth is why would she risk losing her family for a guy she's been dating a year or two? Let's be honest here how likely is it that you guys would spend the rest of your lives together anyway? you're both in your 20s. You'll probably end up breaking up after 3 years anyway. Then what

    Even if she did say ok f--- my family and stay with you, do you really want that sort of pressure on you? She left her family for you. Is "Koke" from S80 that she's been dating a year and a half and doesn't have a degree but has a job that's "currently" "pretty good" and is in an "upwards trajectory", worth risking your family for? Is the love, connection and dicking she get's from you so good that it's worth her losing her family so she can spend the next 60 years or so together with Koke from s80 until she dies?

    trying to date into a sri lankan family sounds s--- from the get go lmao. they will always hold their traditional mysogony/r--- views and will always always hold their cricket team more highly than you (and their daughter too for that matter)
