well you could talk to your family and explain that you really love her. if they still don't like her and if you are dead sure that she loves you and that she can break her engagement without any problem, then i guess you should stay with her. because it is YOU who will love her and  not your family. and if you can persuade them that you will be happy with her then they should be tolerant and accept the situation. i could also tell you to face your family and fight for your love like they do in movies but this is unrealistic. i have faced a more or less similar situation some years back. i was in love with a boy. he is hindou and i am christian and my parents disliked him. i love my parents very much and i didn't want to hurt them and see them sad. so i broke up. but this was my choice. today i'm still alive and waiting for the perfect guy if ever he exist at all. i dn't know if i have regrets. what i mean is that the choice is yours and no one else's!

Since your family says that you are an Angel, I believe that every one that you know is your FRIENDS,, BUT ,, YOU NEED ,, SPECIAL FRIEND... So look for the one whom share you the heavy things, driven by self feeling of responsibility to you. Then look at hem/her with NEW SPECIAL APPROACH, Then you will find your Friend. (*~*)

You should make the choice.  I understand where your family is coming from - but I hear the love you have for him in the tone of your letter.  This is going to be one of life's "not so fair" choices.  You are 18 now.  You have a very grown up decision to make.  My best advice is to make completely sure that he is as wonderful as you think he is, cause this could separate you from the family who has loved you all your life.  I have an 18yr old son and it would kill me if he went against my wishes and married someone I didn't approve of.  Just BE SURE before you do anything.  Money and status are wonderful, but cannot replace a family.   Think long and hard.  Good luck!!

JUst because she's family dosen't mean you can't cut the ties with her. You don't need anyone in your life like that !!!

Well....mayb she has some problems(family problems). I think you shud just try talking to her and ask her if she has any problems and maybe you can help. If not, then it's just best to leave her alone for a while. It's also possible that she likes someone else now. Good Luck!!!

There is absolutely no easy way to tell family these things.  I think it's easiest just to be honest.  Ultimately, the decision is yours not your family's.  \n\nDon't be nasty about it and say something rude.  Just ask that they give you a chance to tell them how you feel about this person.  But remember to let them share their feelings as well.

erm. firstly.. did he care for his family and yours? if he did i believe that in the future he will do the same for you and your family. Is he loyal? and he rather spend time with you then his friends. Cares for your feeling.. willing listen to your point. not argue with you but listen to you. And the most important is your heart is only for him and he too. hope u can find your answer soon.

Well, chances are that most people who love you already know, you just haven't confirmed it yet.  Stay calm and think good thoughts.  Being gay is not terrible, but some people may need time to accept it.  Try setting aside time, free from distractions, and tell the person.  If it is a friend and they react poorly, don't push it, let them figure it out.  Continue to be a good friend, but if they choose to not be  good friend, consider yourself lucky to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff so easily.  Your family will love and accept you- you are family.  It is better to be honest and true, living your life fully as a good person, that force yourself to live in fear, lying.

Its not about showing your feelings o your loved ones but making them feel.love is not something to c about,its something to feel about.if u wanna make ur loved ones feel,just be polite and be very adjusting and friendly.seems lk tht would do the job.

you need to drop her. just think to ur self, do u really want to be friends with someone like that?? her actions are very cold-blooded to her family. also think about, if she is able to do that to her own family, then think about what she would do to a friend.

That's not weird at all if you stop to think about it. Most of us have all experienced strong feelings for those that are in some way related to friends of our's. We can only hope that our friends sponsor our actions, and understand that love doesn't revolve around avoiding relatives of friends. So, like the cousin and let it be known that normal is related. lol  Good luck!!

I would. I will do anything for my daughters and my son and I know there is no chance of us getting together. Now, I know that's not what you meant, but the type of love you have for this person needs to change to the same type of love that you would have for your family members. I say that because I don't want you to miss out on having someone love you the way you love them and it sounds like you love this person very much to put their happiness over your own. But don't you think there is someone out there that deserves that type of love? And more importantly, don't you think you deserve to be loved like that? Continue being there for this person, but keep your eyes open for that other person out there that's waiting not only for your love but to love YOU in return....
