Durzo Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I dated a woman for the last 2 months though we knew each other for maybe 7. We hung out a lot and really got to know one another before dating. It actually went really well. Lots of talk about the future together etc. We have a cultural difference as I am american and she from the middle east. She never thought that would be an issue. So she introduced me her mother. I guess it didn't go well as basically they began to harass her about dating me and turning our time together in a collage of misery. Dinner plans cancelled, trips to the theater cancelled, just awful stuff. Finally she couldn't take it and ended it. that was three weeks ago. It's getting better and I'm seeing someone new, but I still miss her and the chemistry we had and feel very sorry I guess for what might have been. I have not contacted her at since it ended and she has made no attempt to contact me. But it really is an exercise in strength to not talk to her. If we really meant so much to each other shouldn't she miss me enough to want to talk to me? It feels like she doesn't care at all, like the brief time we spent,however intense meant nothing. We are in our 30's can parents really have such an effect? Why do I still even care if it was so short. I'm still a little twisted up inside. Need some advice.
notthathard Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Hi, Yes they can. I read your story and found some similarities to mine. Family can mean a lot in non western countries. I know if I met a girl that my family didnt accept, then I would go against their wishes and keep seeing her. On the other hand certain cultures have their cut off points with interracial couples. They will go with their parents decisions as family means more sometimes. To defy your family in certain countries wishes can mean they may abandon you. I know for sure that my ex had some issues with her parents and me, in the end it didnt work out.
