I Want Her in My Life, but We're Running Out of Options

You're in love with a woman who comes from a rigid culture that's standing in the way of you being together. The problem is, if things are going to change, your girl friend actually has to want that too. As long your girl friend puts her family's interests above her own, she will stay stuck in that version of her life. So what can you do? Well, you obviously have to support your girl friend through this difficult choice that she's facing. You can encourage her to get clear on her own needs and interests. And hopefully you can give her the conviction to fight for that with her family.
