Indian Parents.

No, I am not being Russell Peters now! This is serious.


It is seriously not easy to live in an Indian family especially when you're a girl. Going out is wrong, staying over is wrong, talking on the phone is wrong, coming home late is wrong, having many guy friends is wrong! But my favorite is "If you have a bf and you guys break up, then any other guy you eventually fall for is not acceptable especially when your parents are close to your ex".

So yeah, this how the story of my life goes. It's been more than 6 months since I broke up! My mom has known my ex ever since I was still his friend. And when we coupled, initially she didn't know but as soon as she found out, surprisingly she did not go against it but was actually fine with the fact that I had a boyfriend at the age 16! We were together for 2years and 5months but eventually things got out of hand and it was time to time decision on what is the best for us. Decision taken, to be apart is the best decision we've ever taken.

Whether I had a hard time on getting over my ex or not, I don't know but my mom is still having a hard time.

Just like everyone else who needed someone when they broke I too found someone who is today very special to me. He isn't my boyfriend nor is my friend. He is simply someone really special to me and will always remain special.

We like each other very much but there is still something which is holding us back from being together for real. I am not sure about him, but there is few reasons why I am still not being in a relationship. First of all would my mom who isn't agreeing on giving him a chance and getting to know him! Secondly, to me would be the fact that he is looking for someone he wants to get married too but how sure am I suppose to be that it is me he is going to get married to? Furthermore, future is not for us to say. I love him so much and I don't want to lose him for any reason. If staying as his friend is the only way for me to be close than I would even sacrifice that for me.

Ok, forget about me and my whole story!!

Talking about Indian Parents! In my case, my MOM!

So i confessed to her that I am getting to know this guy! BOOM!!! My momma got so offended and without even knowing she freaking hate him?

Wait, did I go wrong for telling her the truth about what is going on in my life? Tell me if I was wrong because I feel I did what no daughter would do which is CONFESSING! She doesn't want to talk about him, she doesn't want to know. She just doesn't want anything that has to do with him. This thing is very hurting for me and also for him. :(

I want to be with him so bad but she likes my ex so much and she wants me to be with him which is unacceptable because I will never in a million years jump into that hole.

Ma, I ain't saying you're bad! I love you with all my heart, but you just don't understand sometimes.

I've learned one thing, living with Indian Parents is like living in a battlefield. They've got all the weapon but you stand alone there either waiting to die or to just surrender and be on their side. I've decided to stand for myself at the same be on their side. It's time to use some brain and get things worked out. Even if things don't work out between me and him, I will want my mom to know that I love him and whoever I am going to marry she will have to treat him right too.
