What should I do?!?!?! "arabs preferred to answer plz"?

Question

Ok, I'm so confused. I love this guy so much. we're now engaged. but i realize after my engagement that my parents don't aprove of him because he's not from the same level of "class" as me. i dunno how to say it, but they say he's poor, his parents aren't educated like them ect...
I'm Egyptian so this is how most poeple in my culture think. i dunno if this is stupid or if they're right. they agree that he's a nice gentleman but yet they think he doesn't match me because of those differences. they always say that love will end after marriage so i should always look for rich and educated men. I can't leave him because i love him so much and he loves me. should I listen to my parents? or stay with him?

Answer 1

um, why would you prefer arabs to answer? anyways, i'm not arab but i know what your giong through.
except that I'm latina and my man is Egyptian. My parents disapprove of our relationship which disappoints me. But i'm staying with him because we love each other dearly, and we can't live without each other. I figure that after a while my parents will see that we love each other so much that they'll have no other choice but to approve of our relationship.
Please, you must not look for the rich and educated men. They're not always good, yes they can give you the materialistic things (jewelry, clothes, vacations etc.) but you can't buy love.
Maybe your parents are just worried for you because they feel that he(your fiance) may not be able to give you what you need, seeing as your parents always gave you what you wanted, and he might not be able to give you those things.
Listen to you heart, although i know your parents are trying to give you advice and such on this confusing topic. Don't let them pressure you into something your going to regret later on down the road.
you are the one that is going to marry this guy, NOT your parents. take care.

Answer 2

It depends...Money could become an issue if you're used to the "finer things" and what if your husband can't provide the sort of things you're used to? What if he feels inadequate? What if your friends, parents, etc. look down on him? Think about what the two of you can deal with, not what your parents feel.

But why do you want arabs' answers only? Aren't Egyptians Black?
