WJKK WJKF,
I am a 37 year old divorced male and have been divorced for about two years now. Anyhow, I have finally found someone that I love and have been seeing each other for about 5 months now. My partner is also a Sikh, just of a different caste, not that this matters to me. So following what I thought to be right, my family and I went over to the girls house last weekend for a formal introduction and talk wedding dates, I can't quite understand why but my family don't seem to keen on her, based on physical appearance alone. Naturally, I asked why? And was told that she looks different from the rest of our family, has different features - physical attractiveness and that she has heavy hands and heavy feet! To me these are small things and are not a make or break situation. I don't quite understand the theory of this narrow minded way of thinking? She is more interested in what relatives will say based on her features! Why would something so small be a problem? Is this really what the world has come to?
I actually find here quite pretty, she is cute. I actually feel blessed that Waheguru Ji has helped me through the bad times and has finally introduced me to my soul mate.
I don't want a world class model, as I was married to someone extremely pretty before that had several affairs behind my back, so I've seen enough pain and would like to think that the process has made me a wiser man today.
I don't want a world class model, I want someone who is kind, caring and considerate that enjoys learning more about Sikhism.
Am I wrong in following my heart and thinking with my head? Listening to everyone has left me confused with a decisions that I was once 100% sure.
What should I do?
