writes: I have fallen in love with the girl of my dreams. We have been having a relationship for quite a time now and we just click more than anyone I've ever met before. Our relationship is open to the world, except her parents and this is where my problem starts. We are both 18, I am white and she is Asian 'sikh' It is crushing me to think that our relationship will not workout because her parents would not accept me because I am not sikh. She cries to me all the time because her parents have raised her in a Christian society yet are ruining her life by making her stick to an out-of-date lifestyle. I totally respect her religion; it's just their narrow-mindedness is destroying her life and our relationship. Is there anything that I could do?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 February 2006): My friend Mark once dated a Sikh too. They were both very good people, lots of friends, good grades, well-liked, volunteered in the community, etc. Once they started dating, most of Mark's East-Indian friends abandoned him. Most of that girl's family and East Indian friends and family scolded her. I was so pissed off!Eventually, for the good of everyone, they broke up. It really sucks to see people like that get broken up because of external influences. I always thought love was between two people (at the very least). [sigh]You answered your own questions - they're narrow-minded and you're not Sikh. So either you become Sikh, or you wisk her away and lead a life elsewhere, or simply defy all these demons that try to rip your relationship apart. How strong is your will?
