If you were in a committed relationship for about a year. Kept it quiet at first, so both families could get used to the idea. One family was somewhat OK with it (yours) but one member of the other family was dead set against it. It was nothing personal against you, they just didn't want your mate in any kind of relationship, because they fear you mate would leave the family (something your mate would never ).
if your mate tried to get their family used to the idea and to except the relationship, but failed after months of trying. What would you do if they came to you and said. " my mother is almost 80 years old and in failing health. I do not agree with her, but she is dead set against this relationship and her heath suffers badly each time she gets upset. I love you with all my heart and want to be with you. Want to acknowledge our relationship to the rest of the world, but don't want to bring it up in front of her. This may mean I have to see you behind her back at times as I am her only care giver, so she is a big part of my life. I will do all I can to see you and e with you. I want to marry you some day like we talked. But need to do this for her right now".
would you feel rejected?Neglected? What?
could you keep a relationship on these terms?
it is asking too much?
Your mate most likely would not be able to attend your family functions due to their own family responsibilities.
but you mate wants a relationship that is committed and loyal that will progress into a lifetime together. Wants to see you at least twice a week (if you are willing). Have some kind of contact daily (phone call , text etc), lunch together whenever possible and one full day a month for just the two of you.
What kind of relationship would this be?
would you consider it healthy?
could it work?
all comments welcome and thanks.
