They are very controlling and want to dictate her life. Because of that most of our relationship has been conducted with out them knowing so time together has been limited tho heaven when we've been together. I've sacrificed alot to be with her because I love her so much and she has been my best friend and soulmate. We've always split up in the past and its always the same reasons, she wants a 'normal life' playing happy familys and to please her parents. Which is fine and I respect that but she does love me very much and knows no one will ever treat her and love her as I do. Last time we split up for 8 months, but this time I think she's more determined to lose all contact, I'm distraught. Just three weeks ago she was so in love with me that nothing mattered. I'll always want her. Can she keep her true feelings for me locked away for ever just to please other people? Don't know where I go from here.

I guess you don't really have any choice but to start the healing process as you move on with your life. She needs to do alot of growing up if she is still letting her parents dictate to her at 24 years of age! Good luck.

With their blessing we would be at least living together I expect by now. Thats very frustrating that they wont allow their own daughter to choose who she wants to be with. But I can do nothing more than try to heal but its hard.

my heart goes out to you,im sorry your in such a dilemma,but at 24 shes old enough to know her own mind,and if she truly loves you,she would tell her parents the truth about your relationship.have you met her parents?maybe that would help things along.
i think you need to give her some space,and see if she comes back to you.wishing you the best!
