Hi,
Gonna get straight to the point... Last night I broke up with my girlfriend of 11 months, primarily because she's Gujrati and Hindu and I'm Punjabi and Sikh.
The relationship itself was amazing, no trust issues, we helped each other, and we changed each other for the better. She is a completely different person to what she was like when I first met.
We're not religious and the only reason I broke up with her is because I'm unsure of how our future would work. Maybe my parents would get over it but I feel like the kids would be confused in terms of culture. Like most Punjabi's, I'm quite a proud person so would want my kids to be raised Sikh and Punjabi. I have no problems with them learning Gujarati or even delving in to Hinduism (as I'm not religious but my parents are). I've always had this problem since the beginning of the relationship, so much so that I haven't slept with her (she's a virgin) because I don't want to take that away from her if our relationship may not last. I told her about these issues before but we decided to just see how it goes as it was early on in the relationship but now it's got serious.
Since I've broken up with her, I miss her so much and I can't get the image of her crying out of my head. I wish there was a reason besides the cultural differences for us to break up.
I feel like I've done the right thing by doing this now and saving any heart ache in the future but I can't help but think I'm really sacrificing something amazing..
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
