Why won't he come over?

Dear Massi, I have been going out with a Pakistani guy for six years.

He has told his family that he would like to marry me about a year ago. I am not a Pakistani.

Recently we told my boyfriend to come to my house, however my boyfriend and his dad won't come. Only his mum and his brother.

Only me and his brother speak English (his brother does not like me) I am very confused.

Zed Massi says, Situations like these require a little more tact.

If your boyfriend is committed and wants to get married he will make sure his father will come to your house. I'm afraid by not even coming to your house he is simply putting the onus on you. And you have enough problems to deal with.

Just because you are of two different nationalities should not matter in a perfect world but sadly it does.

I think you should talk to your boyfriend and find out if he truly wants to get married. At the moment unless you get a commitment of some sort you will be in limbo.

You have known your boyfriend for six years and even after this time if he is still not willing to put his neck on the line then may be it is not his family that is the problem?
