    [b]hello ..

    i’ll try to keep it short as i can!!

    a year ago,,i fell in love with a guy 3 years younger than me,,we were deeply in love ,we were the perfect match,before he said anything,i say it first.we had plans and everything to be together.i do love him so much , and so is he,,the problem is that i came from a very famous and well known family.
    and he is from regular one,,i don’t care about these things and i was ready to fight against my family just to be with him..
    he always told me to not tell anyone about our relationship,,but i told my closest sister and she forced me to break this relationship, i was not thinking about anything especially that am afraid that she’s going to tell my parents who are very strict about these things,,i got panic and sent him a msg that i want to broke up with him..
    and turn off my mobile, during a week he kept calling but i didn’t answer,,after that i realized that i was wrong and i shouldn’t do what my sis advice me to,,,but it was too late,,
    i needed him so bad ,,so i sent him a msg saying that am i the right woman for u? are u ready for me and ready for my family?

    i didn’t have any response,,he was online days later and the surprise that,,he wasn’t the same person i know,,he changed,,and kept saying that he hates me the most coz i insulted his feeling and destroyed his confidence about him,,that’s why he hates me,,i offered on him to come back again,,to be lovers but he refused,,he asked me to delete him from my life,,,he rejected me and hurts me with a lot of insulting words..

    after that i decided to forget everything saying that he doesn’t deserve me especially am well educated and preparing my master,,but he left school and has no job!

    i was doing fine,,three weeks later (this is the longest time we didn’t spoke)…he calls me,,

    but i wasn’t around the phone,,i was surprised ,,,why did he call,,why,,after trying to live my life again,,why did he calls??
    i didn’t reply on him…now,,i start again to miss him,,miss his words,,his laugh and his craziness ,,
    i was reminding my self all the time how much he hurts me and left me with cold heart but now after the last call am not sure of my decision ..
    help me dr,,am going insane here,,

    i found out that i love him sooooo deeply…

    i start to question my character coz he thinks am tooo pushy and demanding
    ..

    he always said that i have a strong and strict character!!

    and i was pretending that i forgot him but am not!!

    plz answer me quickly,,what shall i do??[/b]

    It sounds like you have a conflict with your family. Just because your family is famous doesn’t mean you can’t be with someone from a non-famous family. But in your case, you say that that is a problem. And even your boyfriend didn’t want you to tell anyone the two of you were dating. Before you get into another relationship with anyone, you should be clear in your own head whether you are willing to be honest with your family and date whoever you want as long as they are a good person, or whether you prefer to abide by your family’s wishes and date someone who fits in with your family. If you don’t get clear on this issue, you’re going to bring conflict to whatever relationship you have with anyone you date from a “regular” family.

    So figure that out first.

    Next, your boyfriend was hurt because you broke up with him due to class reasons. He wasn’t from the right class, and you succumbed to family pressure to break up with him. He didn’t do anything wrong. He was just “from the wrong side of the tracks.” He has every right to feel hurt and wonder if this will come up again with you if he goes back with you.

    It sounds like you are lonely since the break up, and when he called, he stirred up old memories. But getting back together with him will lead you right back to family problems again. So don’t get back together with this guy now. Figure out what part your family plays in your personal life, and then be true to your decision.

    i can’t ,,i just can’t to take away the role of my family on me,,coz i’v always think about them,,,

    trying as hard as i can to please them,,he always told me,,he knew that he is a second priority ,,and my family is the 1st..

    but i have the right to live my life as i want,,not as my family decided for me,,now,,they’re tryin to hook me up

    with another boy has the standers they want!!..

    tell me april..what shall i do,,,i admit that am still living under my family shadow,,

    but what about if the man i loved,,gone for good,,then it is going to be to late to fix it.

    shall stopped thinking that there is NO hope between us,,

    especially after his last call,,,i wished that he didn’t coz i was trying to forget,,and i was almost there,,

    but that call make me miserable,,knowing that he still thinks of me,,still missing me,,

    am really scared ending up with a man i’ve forced to marry with..

    he’s my first experience in love,,and am 26 years old,,spending all the time before,, studying and having a great deal with
    my education to please my parents.

    Please understand I was not criticizing you for putting your family first. If that’s your decision, then that’s okay. You can also change your mind at some point, and then you can change it again. It’s very normal to have different feelings about parents and family throughout your life.

    That said, if you love someone and want to be with them, and your family doesn’t approve, you have to choose: your boyfriend or your family. Making choices is a test of maturity.

    You seem to be very clear that your family comes first, so unless you can find a boyfriend your family approves of, you’re always going to have conflict within yourself, and probably drama in your relationships. It sounds like the first part is happening now.

    Remember, it doesn’t have to be black and white. You can go to your family and tell them how you feel about this man and what happened, and that you’ve chosen to put them first, but that you’re sad and lonely and wish that they can help you find someone appropriate to date, that you are crazy about, too! Your family doesn’t have to be just the arbiter of who is a good boyfriend for you or not — they can actually be a resource and help you find someone. Maybe even someone amazing. Try talking to someone in your family — if you can broach your parents on this subject, you may be surprised at what they reveal about their own pasts to you. It may bring you even closer than you are.
