Wow! I admire you for sharing this very personal post. Please try your best for your own happiness... even if that means not going according to the culture. You seem like a person who's in touch with herself so I'm sure you know what's best for you. My boyfriend is Albanian and initally his parents were against it cus im puertorican. But he went against that to be with me and now his parents saw that's what made him happy and now they support us.
