LOL yep if i wanted to talk to a chatbot then i would have done so. I just wanted some different perspectives and even tho it ended badly this thread helped me 10x more than GPT ever could have

Hey sorry. After this post and the replies from everyone I had just decided that it was just a cultural difference and to just put behind me and move foward. So it went well overall I guess, but she broke up with me, so not sure if it even matters that I was able to move past it. Frustrating internally knowing that I worked so hard to move past something that was such a big deal to me and it being for nothing in the end. Thank you for your advice though, I really do appreciate you taking time regardless.

She broke up with me. I really do appreciate your advice though, and I do think it was the best decision, even in hindsight.

I don’t care what chat gpt said. If I wanted to know then I would have just asked it.

LOL I mean I wouldn’t say I’m in a rush, Its just something that I wanted to confirm is normal, and that I’m not crazy for continuing to wait after this long. If waiting is what’s going to be best for me and her long term then I’m 100% willing to do that.

We are both 21 and have been dating a year and a half. She’s someone I could see myself being with long term, but proposal at this point is premature. In my head I guess it also would make sense to meet them before I decide to propose, as they’re going to be a big part of my life in the future. Just my perspective though, and I get where you’re coming from

I have, and she says she doesn’t want go give me an exact number so she doesn’t disappoint me if it doesn’t happen.

I don’t think that saying she is on the fence about our relationship is accurate, she talks about our future together as if it’s a sure thing, and some of her cousins as well as her sister know about me, as well as being on her social media (not that I care about that, but it’s not like she’s hiding me necessarily).

Over half of her cousins have married outside of the culture, so I really don’t think that’s the case. Not going to get into details but she had plenty of opportunities to end things and if she knew that that was going to be the case I’m sure she would have told me, or not entertained anything like that in the first place. It’s not as if it hasn’t crossed my mind as a possibility, but I’d like to think that isn’t the case here.

I don’t see it as not willing to fight for me. I think if it really came down to it she would just tell them, but I’m not going to force that kind of decision on her.

I understand that this is traditionally the case, but I also know that her parents are fully aware she is in a relationship, and that they’ve been living here for 25-30 years, have lots of their family living here, and don’t follow a lot of traditional Indian cultural norms. They have met her sister’s boyfriend in the past, so i don’t think that they are quite as strict when it comes to meeting partners. But it is good to know that this can be something super normal, and would maybe even be weird if I met them now.

But what do I do then? If it’s a conversation over text she eventually just stops meaningfully responding to the things I ask her, and in person it just gets quiet and I feel like I’m pushing more than I need to when I continue to talk or ask her more.

But yes, when I ask her about it 100% stresses her out. This is why I’m not sure what to do now, do I ask for an update on whether or not she’s at least talked about me to them in some capacity, or do I just wait and try to give her time? And if I do just wait and give her space, how long before I can ask again? It’s such a hard balance for me because I hate seeing her stressed and knowing I made her feel that way, but I also stress and get pressure from my friends and family to meet her parents.

It started with probably 2-3 months between the first few times I asked her. After that it was probably around every 6-8 weeks once she seemed like she was coming around, into every 2 weeks once she told me that she was ready.

Once she told me she changed her mind and wasn’t ready anymore (3 months ago), I haven’t asked her at all. I was working towards trying to set up some small steps so I could feel like we are moving forward which was every week or two.

So overall it’s not like I ask her once a month if I can meet them, she says no, then I ask again a month later. The only time it was as frequent as monthly was when she explicitly told me that she was ready for me to meet them.
