SERIOUSLY CYRUS

- I love my boyfriend a lot. We want to marry, but my parents aren’t sure about his financial standing. He refuses to divulge any informatio­n about it and wants the parents to talk it out instead. He has stopped talking to me about personal issues saying th

MM, this is not very good. If he was a footballer you’d be issuing him a yellow card. That is a warning. Secrecy is a very dangerous thing. Remember the brothers Gileadean of Tbilisi Georgia?

Geography is also forcing yours. Canada is a good thing. It allows you to put all your cards on the table, including your Aadhaar Card which you won’t be using in Canada. You and her have to decide who’s life it is, her’s or her dad’s? Canada is a test. If she loves you, she needs to handle her father. It’s as simple as that.
