I'm is a deep state of chaos and confusion. I'm a Jehovah's Witness but in deeply in love and engaged to a Roman Catholic. I recently informed my staunch Jehovah's Witness parents and in the heated conversation and disagreement that followed, both of my parents disagreed and my mum actually fainted immediately after because she was deeply disappointed. We frantically ran around and resuscitated her. I'm now in a serious dilemma as to my next line of action. I'm so confused. I love my mum and I love my girl too. What should I do?

you have to let them know that you actually really care for the lady and give them time to come around.

what are your intentions for the girlfriend? did you mention it to your parents because you were thinking marriage? mostly how does the girlfriend feel about you being jehova's witness? are her parents aware of your relationship?

Sit your folks down and talk to them,(but sure a bucket of water is at hand when u do so)tell them its one God afterall,i don't see why they should object,what if she's a muslim wetin dem 4 do?let them relax o.

very simple, you make a decision and live with its consequences!

I'm assuming you are serious about your girlfriend. Like freecocoa mentioned, you will definitely need to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with them. Let them know how you truly feel about this woman. If you truly feel in your heart that she is the one, I say stay with her. Again, this is YOUR life! Everyone has choices. If they can't respect your choice then, that's on them. I'm sure they have done things in their life that "others" didn't approve of. As long as you go to them respectfully, hear them out and have a open mind and then express to them your true feelings and intentions you have for this lady. As loving and supporting parents (as they should be) they should respect your decision and let you live your life rather they agree with what you doing or not. The only person that will be held responsible for your decision is you and her. Not your parents.

At some point in our lives, we all are going to do or say something our parents or love one's don't agree with or approve of. But they should not love you any less or try to push their way of life/decisions on you. You just pray for them and move on. So if it don't work out between you and your woman, God forbid, then at least you can't blame anyone else for your mistake. You live and learn and move on. I would suggest that they at least take the time to get to know her first before they judge her and write her off. I know all they want is the best for you, but they have to realize that you ARE an adult and make your own decision(s) about your future.

What boils down now at this point is how important your woman is to you. Be sure of your feelings first. If you decide your woman is that important and you see yourself in a long term relationship, then this something you want to tackle NOW before you go any further.
