"A Conversation That Left Me Thinking"
Yesterday, I met a close friend after a long time. As we spoke, she opened up about something deeply personal.
She said, “I used to feel so lonely… until I met him. He made me feel seen, valued, and loved. I truly believed I’d marry him one day. But he’s not from my caste. That’s where everything gets complicated.”
She paused and then continued, “Some time back, one of my close relatives went through the same thing. She chose her family and married within the caste. After that, my family started trusting me even more. They believe I’ll listen to them and follow their values — just like she did.”
“I love my parents, and I’ve always stood by them,” she said quietly. “But now I’m torn… Should I choose the guy I love, or the family that has loved me unconditionally since birth?”
I had no answer. Sometimes, the heart speaks louder than logic — But loyalty makes the silence heavier.

Tell her to evaluate her relationship. If she loves him and he loves her, she should do her best to convince her family. I do get that some parents are traditional minded. But most parents will accept happiness of their daughter /son over their own wishes.
