A female reader, Amity=Friendship United States +, writes (2 July 2010):

Okay, the first thing that you have to figure out is:

"If I decide to get married to my boyfriend, will he be able to support me?"

Second:

"Is he worth losing my family over? WIll he always be faithful to me?"

If you aren't sure, then I wouldn't give up your family. Because what will you do if you marry him, start a family, then things don't work out? You don't have a family to run to and seek help. You are on your own.

If you still want to marry him, then make sure that you have a stable enough home life that, even without your family, you would be able to support yourself should things with him not work out as planned.

I don't mean to be a downer or make you paranoid, but I speak from experience here.
