Why were you not meant for one another? Do you feel this way JUST because of the parents?

Im curious as well. Shes already "Hot and Sweet", if shes got some intelligence, realize that despite your families, you may be letting go of a good thing.

No to be honest... we rushed into it a lot, and as it stands right now I can't find all the reasons I thought I had when we first got into the relationship for being together... she's a nice person, good looking, but we are different people... very different. My parents just don't like her parents but with that drama, helped me to step back long enough to see that we just aren't the right people for each other.

If your so easily influenced by your parents she's better off without you. You should have your parents pick your next woman

I know that parents can be a big part, especially in the Asian cultures. You know, if you love her, go for it. You will regret it down the line if you really thought you and her had potential. Seriously, parents that like to boss their children around need to be showed that they cannot rule their child's life at one point or another. I say show them that they can't do this to you (only if you truly love her).

What's the problem with the parents? I mean, is it really bad enough to break up over? Old people, such as parents, need to grow up and learn to get along.....sit them all down and work it out unless you just don't care for her anymore.

If you still care for her and you think she might be the one, don't give up on her...that's not fair to judge her by how well your 'rents get along.

Here here! My GF's mother had issues with me (because I was white, go figure...). At first my GF was threatning to break up me because of it. Then I told her the obvious, "you know you'll regret this down the line" and "will you let your mom pick who you marry even if you don't love them?". Oh they're vietnamese. She finally grew some balls and told her mom off. Of course her mom was uber pissed, but then she became silent. Everything is ok now, her dad and brother likes me (ever since the beginning). I think her mother realizing that being racist in america doesn't work changed her perspective. All I"m saying is dude, you have a mind. Use it to make YOUR choices. Your lucky to live in a culture that doesn't attached family lineage.

Who would break up with a "hot and sweet" chick over parents? Not any hetero dude I know, that's for sure. :p

Sounds like cultural intolerance. NOT GOOD!!!

so what? There are lots of cultures I disagree with, and yes even some I am intolerant of (i.e. any that practice genital mutilation). Get over yourself.

This sounds like a situation you will look back up on in, oh, 15 years or so, and wonder what the fvck you were thinking in letting her go. I'm also going to guess that your parents are the entire reason why you're breaking up, but you don't want to admit it.

Sounds like the OP isn't looking at the relationship anywhere past the "logical" sense of it and will refuse to do anything but accept her phone calls. He's doing just what the grown ups want him to do and the only person who is loyal is the girl.

You're going to really regret this man. Just because one is different shouldn't be a turn off unless it's things that you can't stand. I don't even know how she's different; it may be small things like musical tastes which I never saw a problem with, I have no idea but you're not telling us a great deal and in my opinion I side with the replies here that's telling you to grow up and get your own identity.
