Current Events > Need an outsider's perspective (relationship)

(+) Yeah! (+)

forgive me for being biased, I'll try my best to tell her side of the story:

*she= Indian, in India. her parents are trying to rush her into marriage. they are offering all these different guys to her to marry.
*me=indian, in the USA. just graduated. literally just secured a good paying job.
*us: met 3 months ago. long distance. never met in person.

me: I cannot see her until next December 2019 due to my new job. I have not accrued any PTO/Vacation time yet.
her: wants me to quit my job to go see her and MARRY her by Summer 2019.

government: they check the income of the sponsor (me) and I need the job to even travel overseas and provide a life for us. after marrying overseas in India, it will take an additional 6-7 months to bring her over to the USA>

my response: I can't go there until December 2019. she proceeds to throw a fit and is audibly upset.

my conscious: aren't we going a bit fast?

what's your take on all this? should I abort? It's an LDR anyways.

I don't understand what the "pros" are to continuing this relationship?

cut off all contact

Yeah you can find someone else where the situation isn't so ridiculous.

Sounds like she's using you to get a new start, with or without you

She loses nothing in this scenario if she marrys you and you can pretty much lose what you've worked up to
---

Yeah. That's what I thought.

I feel so damn rushed into this. I like her, but not enough to quit the job. Plus it's an LDR lol...

Thanks for the advice guys. I knew what to do in my gut, but I need the outsider's perspective. Just because her parents are rushing her doesn't mean I have to fall prey to that. I've only known the girl for about 2 months now. It's already ridiculous as it is.

I have no choice but to like it at the moment man...got to pay off these student loans from university...the job is well paying and utilizes my skillset/passion.
---

You've known her for 3 months and you've not physically seen her.

Dont throw shit away for her
---

yea, even though you might be really into her, I think that you should end things before you two get even more invested in your relationship.

you're still young (I assume), so hopefully you still have a lot of time to find someone with whom your interests are more aligned. you shouldn't even have to be pressured to marry someone, especially if you've only known them for a relatively short amount of time

I wish I was :(

I'm 30..graduated university late. better late than never I suppose. That's why there's a wee bit of desperation on my part. If I was younger, I'd have aborted much longer ago. My parents want me married off too, but they are wary of marrying women from overseas (understandably).
