Confused between love and family
Relationship Stress / by StuckBwLifeNLove

...See more 27M, India I and my gf met on a social media platform around couple of years ago. The day we met I felt for her at first sight. She did not felt the same, but soon she too developed feelings for me and so did I. And now after the good time of 2 years, we decided to get married. We both informed our parents about our decision. They have agreed. Soon in few months, we would be getting married. But now my gf has given me conditions before getting married: 1. She would not work at home/do less house work 2. She do not want to stay with family 3. She do not want to follow traditional routine after marriage (like applying sindoor/wearing mangalsutra/wearing bangles) Since I live in a not so traditional and conservative family, but my mother expects my woman should help her in the house chores. My gf sent me msgs she is scared after seeing my house routines. Though she would have support of my mother, my sister- I am not sure if she would still work. Also my mom is against of keeping any maid. I am totally confused what to do. I've cried for this. For the not staying with family thing, she is now kinda OK. And for the 3rd point, as I said my life is kinda traditional, my mom would expect my woman to atleast wear a small sindoor/small mangalsutra. But she is totally against it and does not want to wear anything. Again I am so confused over here. I do not want to leave my family, neither I want to leave my woman. My feelings for both are true to heart. I can only advise my gf upto a certain extent. Not sure what to do.
