wahe guru ji ka khalsa waheguru je ke fateh,
i am not very religious but i do try to do the path everyday in life. I have found that doing the path has helped me very much in life as beofre doing the path on a regular basis i was looking for a part time job but i had no luck, but 2 months into doing the path i found a part time job and that too a very good one thanx to the kirpa of wahe guru ji.
The situation which i need help in is that;
i have a boyfriend who is hindu but he actully comes from punjab and is fluent in punjabi.i am a sikh girl. We have been together for around 3 years now and I love him very much. When we first got together we had made up our minds that we will marry each other and had imagined that our parents would agree aswell, but 2 years down the line he stopped talking to me. I tried to contact him in many different ways but he didnt respond to any of my e-mails, calls or texts. I would have gone to visit him to his house (as his city is only 1 hours drive) but i didnt take this step as i didnt no what that would mean for him, if that would put him in to any trouble or anything like that. In the end i had no other choice but to also not talk to him. I was so confused, angry and most of all was saddened that he just left me without any explanation. every day i prayed to wahe guru ji that please bring him back to my life. (maybe this was wrong?)
But i still couldnt forget him, i was devastated and cried very often. I didnt forget him at all, and i dont think i can ever forget him in the future.
It has been about nine months or so now and we are now back together (due to me finaly getting through to him after 9 months) and both of us admitted that we still love each other and cant forget. I asked him that why did he leave anyway? what was the reason for that and he told me that apparantly his parents came to no about me and his parents told him straight that they wont allow him to marry anyone other than a girl who they choose. He is a good guy so he has followed what his parents had told him.
It has now been about 10 months since we got back together and i no it would make sense to say that i should leave him if we dont have a future, but the thing is i am truely in love and i dont no if i can or even have the will power to do so.
I would like to no your views if possible and also what does sikhi say about love. I no i am being very stupid and only being a "manmukh", but i am just very confused.
could you help?
