We are considering getting married in the near future. Here's that catch. I was born and raised here in the states all my life and while my parents tried to instill as much of their Nigerian customs as they could, I still consider myself an American. I did grow up with Nigeria children to an extent however, my parents sheltered us a lot from the outside world as to protect us and I didn't grow up with Nigerian kids in the same way the rest of the Nigerian community did. Now that I have brought my relationship with my American guy to their attention, they are trying to talk me out of it. He's a Christian, loves the Lord as do I, and although we still have some spiritual and mental growing up to do, I believe that God can bless this relationship if we make Him the central factor and not my parents. I know that my parents have culture to uphold and they need to look good to the other Nigerians but this does not concern me. I'm starting to buckle under the pressure and I don't want to end my relationship with him because my parents want to save face. What do you think?
