Navigating Family Pressure in a Long-Term Relationship


Question
Hi,
I met this guy over the net and we have been in a serious wonderful relationship for the past 6 years. We have met so many times and are perfectly fine together. We did have initial understanding problems but with time we got matured enough and are happy now. The problem is though he is earning very well(I'm earning too) my parents don't accept him as he is not from a rich family.They are too concerned about status. More over he is a Brahmin and am a non Brahmin girl. Though his parents have accepted me just for his sake, my parents (and myself) are worried if his family will accept me whole heartedly.His not as financially sound as  us.Beyond all this he is absolutely caring and sweet to me. But now im in a dilemma because marriage is not just him,, but i have 2 b taken as a member into his family.. am unable to take a decision. I've been thinking over this for the past one year..
please guide me

Answer
You say "marriage is just not (in) him"? This means you should probably move on. I suggest that if there is a cultural or religious difference presenting a possible obstacle, that you consider converting to Christianity where you will find full acceptance and a solid foundation for marriage.
