pursuade ur gf to take degree...

EC vs CC or degree vs no degree.......the reason behind hard to click is like wat u said......different mentality, different things to talk about....

Been in there, let's ask yourself how much you can protect her from your parents? Most guys will only say it at first willingly to do everything for the girlfriend but yet at the end letting the girl to take everything alone and finally complains about can't take in anymore the stress from parents and bye bye. Either you just stand up straight to your parents to declare it clearly that it's your choice or else you just be another mama boy

Tell your parents how much you love them. Tell them that no matter how much they object and disagree, you would still love them. If you remain steadfast on your decision, stick to it. They may reject you, but show them you will always be the son that loves them irregardless. Parents are just being parents. They brought you up, thus they feel they have a right to determine the path for you.

Show them that your decision is yours and yours alone. Tell them that if you make a mistake, you will learn from it. Just be sure she is the one. Burning bridges are hard, especially when it comes to parents. Are you prepared to do so for your gf?

Since my father passed away when I was only 2, I have lived with my mum's and older sister's ranting and complaints on this girl I dated. For years I endured it, now I am married to her and my family has learnt to accept her. I stuck to it but I didn't push my family aside as well. They have to learn that I will give them 100% and I will give my wife 100%. Being neutral is most important.

Yup all of you are right.I will definitely stand up for my choice this time and won't be a mama's boy

And btw I found a college that offers part time diploma course for her already and she is really interested and the tuition fees is affordable as well.

@tech yeah we are quite the same.I'm english educated and my girlfriend speaks cantonese.haha and ok I won't talk to them over dinner I'll find a better time.Don't want my food going down my spine haha.

@matt yeah I remember telling them before if I get heartbroken at least let it be a lesson to me.Probably they just want to protect me from that.

which parent would like their children to have partner without degree these days...

it's not just abt education level.. even a PHD holder but his/her personality suck to max oso dun use..

Oh... In that manner... It's not that there isn't common interest but I find them stubborn and more often then not, jump into conclussons and insist their POV is the only right one. But there are others, which I like immensely. They seem to weight everything with such precision and methodology, and discuss their POV before deciding something. Their desire to get something right simply wows me.

TS....your parent looking for Dato / Tan Sri daughter to be your wife ar ?

Seems they looking for rich and fame family to match you. Anyway, i will seriously ignore whoever opinion if i want to be with the girl i love.

Ask your parents if they'll marry each other if either one of them do not have a degree at that time =D

Tell them she already pregnant ??

+1

yea make ur own choice... don become mama's boy.. tats make urself look stupid to staying under ur mama skirt.. haha
Dude chose ur freedom.. let ur parent understnad tis is 21st century.. no longer ini tak boleh ini boleh...

cheerss

u're dis gf?

btw, i think TS parents is disagreeing is bcoz just dun like her....
the whole degree thing is an excuse.

Personality > Education background

My parents haven't even met her so I think it's got to do with education background as they asked me what's her highest education level.From then on they started disliking her because of that.They knew I was going out with her until they asked that question.Of course I won't dump her I love her so much.

But there is one time before I was with my gf , one of my friend(coursemate) from sarawak came over to KL and stayed at my place.My dad really gave so many comments on her and there's this other time my housemates came to KL and he saw them and he said something like they're so nerdy, this and that etc etc sigh.Really annoys me sometimes.

if ur gf willing to study part-time, can go check out Wawasan Open Uni or Open Uni Malaysia. 5yrs part time. can use EPF account 2. or apply for ptptn loan also

if not, tell ur parents, u don't see why no degree canot be ur wife. be ur wife no need degree de. lol

I think a diploma degree should be sufficient as it all depends on her financial background.I've recommended her this part time diploma course and she seems fairly interested.
