His family does not have a good name...

I have a question about a guy I really like a lot. I know he likes me, too, and we want to marry, but his family references are not that good. They don’t have a good name in society, and I’m concerned about that because my family won’t allow me to get married to him. What can I do in this situation?
I’m not sure what you mean by family references or a good name in society. Are there specific reasons for why they are looked upon as unworthy of marrying into? Have you had a conversation with this man about your family and their concerns? When you say you like each other, does this imply that there is no relationship at the moment, and you have both simply expressed an interest in each other? I suggest you take some time to get to know him, and consider allowing your family to meet him too, after you have had a chance to evaluate things and have made up your own mind. Convincing your family will be easier when you have a clearer picture of how things stand and what you are getting into.


My girlfriend constantly texts a male friend of hers through the day. I don’t know what they chat about because I don’t ask, but I am beginning to worry about this. Is this something I should be concerned about? Is it normal for a partner to constantly communicate with someone else?
If something bothers you, it is easiest to just ask. If you want to know what she is talking about, why speculate? There’s nothing wrong with a partner communicating with a friend, and your insecurity stems from the simple fact that this friend happens to be male. Jealousy is harder to control when one isn’t aware of all the facts. If she needs a friend to chat with, there is nothing wrong with that. She is still in a relationship with you, and doubting her without any specific cause is not very respectful.
