I'm in a very complicated relationship
Submitted on Sunday, February 24, 2008
By Roeleen, 18, from South africa:
I'm in a very complicated relationship. The guy I'm dating has to stay with his ex girlfriend due to cultural reasons. He was chosen to become the next king of his people and his wife has been chosen too. We're in love and he doesn't want to be with her but doesn't want to disrespect his culture. Do I stay wit him or do I leave?
VictorM's advice:
You leave. The decision is his to make. He has to live with the consequences of his choice. Pushing him will most likely backfire later on in life. Let it be his decision.
Giving up a throne for love is not new. In 1936, King Edward VIII gave up the throne of England to marry an American woman. I doubt your prince has a bigger burden than to give up the Kingdom of England, but still, it should be his decision to make. You should walk away.
