arranged marriages

I really need help!!!!!!My parents believe in arranged marriages so they want me to marry someone from the same nationality. My parents are turkish. The only problem is i'm sort of going out with someone that isn't from the same nationality. If i tell them that i'm going out with someone that isn't turkish their gonna freak out and they won't let me see him again. If i don't tell them then there gonna find someone for me to get married to. What should i do?

this must be the hardest decision youve gott make but is an arranged marriage what YOU want? this is ur life, not ur parents so its got to be YOUR choice. maybe u should talk to them about arranged marriages n that you dont agree with the idea, maybe not tell them about ur bloke all at the same time, u dont wana over load them. take care xxxLoUxxx

To be honest, I love the lovey-dovey stuff, it would be a perfect romance to just deny your parents, a romeo Juliet type thing. We all know that isn't too possible. The right thing is to confront your parents. I agree with LoU. It's your decision, and if you TRULY think that you and your love can make it, I say go for it, just remeber, you can't hurt your parents.

My parents were arranged.. and i can just say, do what you feel is right for you. seriously, i have to say, no one is going to hold anything to your head to force you to do anything you dont want to. i understand all that you're feeling, however, my family doesnt do that anymore. don't let your parents control who you love. it's always a choice.

Man that would suck. Just tell them you are not interested and that's that. Put your foot down polite but firmly and do it NOW before it is to late and they get to wrapped up in the idea.
