writes:I am in an amazing relationship with the perfect guy. We are both different as individuals but somehow we just completely click. We're both still young (him 20 and me 18) but we know that we want to spend our lives together. We are definitely not rushing into anything because we are so young and we love each other so much that we know we can get through anything and no matter what life throws at us we will be happy together forever. So anyways....now there is the problem about telling my parents. My parents got married when they were 20 and had me a couple months after. They said they regretted not waiting and have been doing everything to make sure I am smart enough not to make the same mistake they made. Which is why I am so scared to tell them that my boyfriend and I are very serious and in the future (not anytime soon) want to get married. I don't think they would understand. And they might not take me seriously. I'm tired of them always saying that when you're my age you don't find the person you're meant to be with. And considering I've only had one boyfriend before (who hurt me extremely bad) they don't believe it's possible to be truly, deeply in love with someone.I've had similar conversations before with them about other people. So I'm not sure how they will react to what I want to tell them. Please help!! I'm not sure what to do Reply to this Question

You don't say how long you have been together.
My advice is not to tell them that you want to get married. If it's not any time soon then what is the point?
It's only an engagement when you plan to marry in the near future. Right now all this is, is that you know you are very serious about him.
Talk to them about how you think he could be The One and that one day in the future you hope he'll get on one knee.
Once you've been together more than 3 years you will know this is real and not just the flush of a new relationship.
Good Luck!! xx
