Secret bf
I’ve been dating my bf 20(M) for 10 months now, I’m 19(F) and my parents found out about us 3 months ago while going through my iPad when I was away on a volunteer trip. They gave me no choice but to break up with him so to them we’ve been broken up, but in reality I never broke up with him and we’ve just continued dating.
I’m in uni and we see eachother quite a bit and our relationship is still going well, despite me being stressed a lot just from the pressure from my parents I got when they found out and I’m still not rlly recovered as they threatened to disown me, and said many hurtful things and they’re opinion of my bf being completely incorrect and based off stereotypes and wrong assumptions. For context my bf is North Indian and Sikh and I’m South Indian and Hindu. And my parents have always made it known they want me to date someone like us.
They’ve also made it known I cannot date until I graduate and I’m completely financially dependent on them, but my problem is that I feel guilty. It’s not that I think im doing anything wrong but the had such a bad reaction it just makes me scared for the future. How they’re gonna react when they find out we never broke up, and I’m scared they will actually make me choose between them or him. Because I don’t want to loose my parents but my bf is lovely and ik if they acc tried to get to know him the would love him. His parents are really supportive of us but I just need some advice. Anyone who’s been in similar position. My parents are also really religious and keep saying that this happened because based on astrology I’m in a bad time of my life and stuff which just makes me more scared because they clearly don’t think rationally when it comes to these things.
