I have a strange relationship with a woman. She's 30 years old but she's still living with her parent. She also has a curfew that she's to be home before2.00am. She's working and studying master's degree. She told me that it was her culture that she has to live with her parent before she gets married. Now I think that I cannot have a serious relatioship with her because I feel that she's so immature. We have been dating for 15 months. What am I supposed to do?

You must be nuts, it took you 15 month to realize that she might be immature.I think you're the one who's immature, or commited phobic. It's true that in some asian culture, the unmarried women lives with her parents until she gets married. Therefor her curfew is out of respect for her parents, since after all ,she is living under their roof and maybe also being supported financially for her school fees. Let's get real , graduate school is not cheap!!! I know ,been there and done it. Are you sure you're not the one getting cold feet from this relationship?

I wouldn't call her immature just yet. She may be acting out of respect for her parents. In some cultures, it is indeed true that parents come before significant others. Depending on the culture, that can even hold true after the parents are dead! I don't know the specifics in this case, but just keep that in mind. You may want to really think this one over before you decide what to do- one way or the other.

I heard of alot of different cultures but never have I heard a daughter must live with her parents before she gets married.Did she not live with them as a child? The curfew is normal.No one wants anyone who lives with them coming in all hours of the night.2am is very resonable.You accepted her for the last 15 months.Why the change of heart now?

do the right thing and ask her to marry you if u are serious about her. She is a good woman; living by God's standards. Thats very important.
