  • Story of @khushi325 and her love- Tommy and I have been together for 4.5 yrs. When we first started dating, I hid it from my parents, scared of their reaction. Even though I was 28yrs old, an adult, there was still a fear of my parents. They knew something was going on since I’d talk on the phone every day. Even got asked if I was having a “chakkar” (direct translation - an affair, sounds disgusting). We have always been long distance, so they were confused as to why I didn’t stay out all the time; that would have confirmed it on their end. My siblings always knew about him from the beginning, met him and loved him. They were truly my rock throughout the process. After dating for a year and knowing he‘s THE ONE I’m marrying, I had to tell my parents. I was shaking scared but I’d rather be open than hide stuff. I also wanted to tell them before they found out from someone else (you know how it works in our society, people are more concerned about other people’s business than their own). I had asked my parents if they’d rather I be open and tell them things or be secretive and lie about things. It was then when it clicked for them. After telling them about my relationship, they cried. They were upset I was with someone outside our culture/religion. I totally understand their perspective as immigrants in a foreign country, they wanted to preserve their roots. If I wanted them to understand my side, I had to understand their side as well. A year after telling them, they finally met Tommy and loved him instantly (I mean it’s really hard not to). A year ago, Tommy met in a fatal car crash, which he miraculously survived. I thought I may have lost him. My family seeing me distraught, drove me down from NY to VA. It took 9 hours but we kept driving until we arrived at the hospital. That’s when my family met Tommy’s family. Today, my parents probably love him more than they love me (I don’t blame them). They FaceTime him, ask him what he’s up to and how work is going and when he visits NY, he comes over. I moved down this summer to stay with him until my offices open up and it’s been pure bliss. After 4.5 years, we’re finally living together. ❤️ @southasiannation!
