We were engaged to be married next year and everything was going fine until he proposed. after that we stopped doing any thing and i felt that i came second in his life to sports. My parents know i've been upset by this and have disapproved of the relationship as it went downhill. However we have been seeing each other as friends and he puts me first now. i love him so much and he says he loves me to but what about my parents we want to get back together and carry on with the wedding plans but i need their support. Help me please

Very difficult one, and I can empathise entirely with issues with parents having had major problems with my fiances parents from the moment that we got engaged.I suppose what I'd say in this case is that he needs to win them round. Are they willing to give him a chance - for example to talk things through with him (with you present)? Perhaps he could go for some grand gesture or something to convince them that he has changed?Ultimately your parents are looking out for you, and I'm guessing that their main priority is preventing you from getting hurt. But they need to also accept that key decisions are yours to be made and that all of this is part of what makes you unique. Try explaining this one to them, demonstrate your maturity and I'm sure that they will come round
