I have learned that I need to be more confident in my own choices and opinions and not rely so much on what my family think. I went out with this guy once whom i thought was ‘the one’, and when i asked my cousin to speak to him on the phone, i could tell by the tone of her voice that she wasn’t impressed by him. She also did not give me any feedback on him after the phonecall. I lost confidence in introducing him to the rest of my family in the end because i was so worried about what they would say. Eventually he terminated our relationship and i can’t help but wonder if he felt that I didn’t introduce him to my family because I didn’t value him.
Lesson learned: I loved him enough to see past his faults so i should have been more courageous and payed no attention to what my family thought.
