We used to talk a lot on the phone but that has reduced considerably due to parental pressures. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I’m not able to concentrate on my studies and he’s not putting his heart towards his job. We are both becoming victims of our families’ whims. He’s a nice person so I’m sure that he’ll be good to me in the future. I want to wage a fight against my folks but I don’t know how!
