Buttercup 89 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you guys so much for your help i have a very good relationship with his family my dad likes him but i don't know how he will react as he married my mam at my age and they divorced he always says he knows my bf is the one i will spend my life with but he doesn't want me making his mistakes! My stepmam on the other hand doesn't respect our relationship and does whatever she can to make things difficult for us .... at the end of the day marriage is about 2 people not anyone else we are both very mature and i've seen enough bad things growing up that im not going to make their mistakes ... to leogirl18 how did u tell your parents about your engagement do u live with your fiancé and did he ask for your parents blessing before he proposed (also congrats i wish you both a very happy life together, its so nice to talk to someone my age in the marriage situation :D ) ..... kitty1035 thank you so much for your kind words your words have been so helpful :)

hello, you and your bf are obvious in love. you's have been together for 7 years now so your family should understand. you's are still young but if you's feel as though you want to spend the rest of your life together then you should go ahead. All my luck and i hope my reply helped in some way.

You have been dating for a long time and that shows commitment. Does your family like him?
I am 19 and my fiance is 20. We have been dating for almost 2 years and at 1 year and 6 months, he proposed.
My family likes him and his family likes me. We know we are perfect for each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together.
We are younger than you guys and have been dating for a lesser time, but our families were and are supportive.
Our wedding is planned for July 2011.
Good luck! :)
