I am English and in love with an American guy (Im 24). We are serious about eachother and want to marry.
Both parents are STRICTLY against it and dont want us being together. My parents are trying to marry me off to someone else ..
This is making me depressed, what shall I do? I want him - my future is with him.....

Your parents don't run your life, you do. If you honestly want to be with this man, and he treats you well, then consider why your parents don't like him. Has he done something to offend them? Or is it simply because he is American, and they had someone else in mind for you? They can't force you to marry anybody else. So you have a choice to make. Run away and marry him, or don't, and be miserable.

I'm an american born chinese and I met my future husband who is chinese and came to America six years ago.. My parents won't approve it because we were young and simply because they don't like this guy[ they like him but just don't like that he has no background- money, for instance] They will do whatever their power to stop us from gonig together.. In the end they approve because there nothing they can do

in the end, its not about making your parents happy. You should do what is going to make you happy, no matter what anyone else says. It is important to respect your parents, but they cannot dictate love

well, my sister got married with this guy we didn't like. it was 10 years ago. she is gettin divorce now, they got 2 children.
you are quite young. wait a bit longer. time can change your parent's point of view. it can also change your feelings;(
take time. it's the only piece of advice I can give you.

i married a greek cypriot in my 20s, my dad was a country bumpkin and very racist..it split my family..but we had two beautiful children and had nothing but warmth and love from his family and friends. we didnt make it, but i dont regret it.the people who stood in our way felt ashamed and lost face with people, it will all pan out..nothing is certain but remember that this life is all you get..go for it

some times you have to just follow your heart if you really want to marry this guy go for it your family might get mad at you at first but they will get over it. and if they really love you they will also forgive you
