I bet I could almost predict how this came about. They met when he was on vacation in Malaysia with his mates and they have kept in touch via email.

I also find a lot of the times that the family not accepting is a way out. Perhaps we have some perspective as we have been here and lived it so long.

It will go along the lines of him crying that his family isnt accepting, then he will state he will give them all up for her. It will turn into the scenario that she will let him go because she loves him and cant bear to see him in pain.... etc.

I hate to be the sceptic all the time, and perhaps this is indeed a lasting thing but I have my doubts. I have seen it a hundred times over.
