I am currently in a relationship with a guy who lives in another country. I am 21 years old and I've had my fair share of relationships. I take my parents' opinions on relationship situations very seriously, however I feel like in my past I chose their opinions over my own happiness. My current boyfriend is probably the most polite, honest and caring man I have ever met. He comes from an amazing and supportive family and he himself is confident and aggressive. Although he is a businessman, he is very sensitive and talks to me a lot about his feelings and is very honest with me. I have nothing to complain about in our relationship. It was like this from the moment I met him last September.

I have thought out all of the possible outcomes for our future and I am willing to take that leap of faith for him. I went through that stage where I did contemplate if it was really worth it at first, but I am more than confident in this relationship. My parents, however, have a different opinion. They think that it is absolutely ridiculous to be in this relationship, even though I have explained to them multiple times that I do know that I can be really hurt in this situation. I feel as though I am stuck in the middle of choosing my happiness over theirs. I know that I do not want to break up with my boyfriend, however I feel as though my parents are pushing me in that direction. I also feel that if I break up with him, that it will be a huge mistake. I am not afraid to be alone; I rarely have boyfriends and I've never had this feeling with anyone.

I just want to get opinions from others and see what I should do in this situation.
