My boyfriend of 4 years and I have always been in a ldr. He lives in the UK and I live in Turkey. Since I move around a lot I barely get so see him once a year. We want to get married, our traditions entail that we get the approval of both families before moving forward. But his family is standing in the way, and as of last night so is mine. Today is my birthday and I ended last night with a huge fight with my boyfriend and my family and I just feel like all the depression I've had is going to eat me alive.
