You do know that they do not have to listen to you...
if they strongly object to your behavior they can disown you and end contact with you.
better yet, be a man and tell them I'm an adult and I'm doing what I want... then do it... and risk losing them anyway...

I may be a stupid American but at 52 I know that had I lived my life to please my parents I'd be miserable and my mom would still be gone and not having any say any more anyway...
I just think that if you are going to live your life to please your parents you should start now and let her go.

I see...ah well, if she is willing to change religion, then it should all be so much easier and much more acceptable for your parents.
But , my concern is ( which is actually not my concern because it's none of my business, agreed :) - does she know that ? Does she know that no way you will marry her without your parents' approval ? and there is a chance you might not get this approval ?... I guess she does, if she's from your country she's figured it all out already - but in case she does not - please be totally honest with her . Don't string her along for maybe years , just for having to dump her eventually in favour of a marriage arranged by your parents, which will leave her vulnerable and much less " marketable " as a possible wife. Let her CHOOSE if she wants to risk that,OK ? Otherwise you'd be nearly as dishonest as the ugly older guy...

Pardon my curiosity, but what religious differences ?.... Like, if you are Muslim and she is not- or viceversa- it won't fly . In Pakistan ?... It's never going to happen.
Slightly better if you are Sunni and she is Shia ( or viceversa ) because in theory it is possible, in practice that is- as you surely know already - a big, big, major deal, that you casually file under " some family differences ". I wish you the best , but I don't think that your pretty gf's pictures will be enogh to convince your parents . Have you thought what will you do if you can't make them change their mind ?...

hi
Just talk about her and the good things about her to you Mother and see if your mother can slowly start to see the love in your heart about this girl
Slowly slowly work on your mother.
Ask your mother to notice her good points.
Your mother must have some reasons? Ask her gently to tell you 'why not?'
It may take a little time.
And your patience?
And maybe your mother is looking for something more? Character? Kindness?
Try to describe your girl's character to your Mother.
Have you met the family of your girl? Are they nice and respectful to you?
Regards
Abella

i think you have a strong emotional connection to this girl.
And it is OK to ask, and receive as many replies as possible.
All nice replies I hope.
I even came across a question recently with 243 replies.
So keep on asking as much and as often as you need to -that is what this site was set up to do.
Could you introduce the girl to your Mother and see if that helps soften your mother's feelings on this matter?

Good points, there, So Very Conused (SVC), sometimes the question asked hides a deeper question. I guess I want to know if "Invincible" is still looking for a way to end the relationship? Do you want to be with her or do you want to end it and move on to a new relationship?

GUYS.... listen to me... did you all see this:
".. I'm working my mess out with family that i will marry her nobody else ...."
I THINK (and maybe I'm wrong) that the OP is not the one with the issue... that maybe his family is... and maybe he's internalizing it and trying to figure out how to help his family accept his decision but that he doesn't want to admit that he's unable to tell his family to butt out?
maybe he needs help telling the family to mind their own business?
just guessing at that based on the comment he made as quoted above...
sometimes we can't put into words even for ourselves what the REAL problem is and we need to dig deeper and help folks figure out the real issue...

Look, if you think we have nothing better to do than sit here and argue with someone as immature and insecure as you, then you are sadly mistaken. Keep posting your questions all you want, you're not taking any help from here and you are proving me right by arguing mindlessly.

You can repeat a question 1000 times, if the Mods let you.... but that would mean that you are not paying any attention to all the answers you got the previous 999. Or, that there's no solution to your quandary, at least not one you are willing to consider. So reposting would not be of any help.

I'm overreacting? Well I'm not the one repeatedly posting the same thing questioning my partner's virginity. You are. You have had many responses to your questions in the past which you are clearly not satisfied with, which is why you feel the need to question the same issue over and over again. Read your own questions and you will see what I mean. If you still think you're not insecure, good for you. Why keep raking up the issue then?

Invincible is verified as being by the original poster of the questionWell let me explain to you a bit ... I'm not insecure... I never thought like that. I never thought to hurt her or make her remember her past ... What I'm here for is just a general talk ... I'm not a virgin either... I've had many girl friends...But maybe i feel bad because my princess got deceived by almost 10 years older old ugly b***d My gf was 17 at that time ... I love her more than i can explain ... I'm working my mess out with family that i will marry her nobody else .... So anonymous 123 you maybe over-reacting ... I just want to make sure that i'm going the right way with my right girl ... There is no such thing right now as insecurity ... Yeah i had but not now ... We are spending quality time and I want her for the rest of my life :)And ... To Abella and Tisha ... U r real sweethearts may God bless u n cheer u up and put so much burden on ur shoulders of happiness :)))Love uuuu

Haven't you posted repeatedly on this exact same topic?
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/how-can-i-leave-her-slowly-so-she.html
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/--i-cant-get-over-the-fact.html
and now this http://www.dearcupid.org/question/is-it-true-that-a-girl-forgets-her.html
Look, clearly you are extremely insecure and your girlfriend's virginity is the only thing on your mind. Despite getting some very good answers here, you haven't budged an inch from your paranoid, rigid, insecure perspective that you missed out on not taking her virginity and her "ugly ex" did.
Sadly Dear Cupid hasnt been able to help you in any way and you need to either let the girl go and live in peace or seek counselling for your obsessiveness. Posting here repeatedly and not learning anything from what we say will not help you in any way.

I think you may be being paranoid. She probably remembers him but not in a good way and that is why she doesn't want too.
Can't say girls remember there first time and who it was with, but I can sure tell you that if someone treats you badly whether it's a girl or a boy you'll struggle to forget that not because you miss them far from it but she probably has a mass regret because of the way he treated her, he fooled her and took advantage.
I just think you're being overly paranoid about the situation as i said she's probably remembering how horrible he was and wants to forget him and concentrate on you and her so she can create happy memories and push away the bad ones.

So let's see, we have on the one hand, an older and uglier guy who treated her like dirt. On the other hand, we have a caring and loving boyfriend of over one year.
Hm.
If she has any sense at all, and it sounds like she does as she has chosen you, she doesn't miss the old jerk at all.
You are imagining her feelings, romanticizing the effect that first sexual intercourse has on her.
Your mind is creating the doubt, not your girlfriend. Why are you feeling so insecure?
