I have dated guys my own age and the don't want the same ehings as me. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 2 yrs now and we talk about marrige and kids. The only thing is my parents won't except him. I believe this is because he is only 2 yrs. younger than them. It's getting to a point that i'm starting to become anger with them. His great to me and loves my children. I don't know what to do anymore, cause to make them happy, i'll be hurting myself. Reply to this Question

 You havn't said whether you love him?
If you do then your parents will get used to him and then Im sure they will get along fine

They had wonderful marriages until the men reached their retirement age and started to slow down. The women were still young and full of energy. This created conflicts. The women spent their retirement years as caretakers of their husbands who were in their 80s by then. They were living many years alone after they buried them.

If you're happy then it's all good, don't leave him you have your life sorted, maybe they just need to know how you feel! Explain to them that it would really hurt you to leave him and hopefuly they will want what is best for you!

 Do you love him? Its going to be a slow and unpleasant roller coaster ride if you don't. Before you think on marriage ask yourself is this what you really want. If you decide that he is who you want to spend the rest of life with than talk to your parents. Let them know that you respect their decision but that this is the man you have chosen to marry. Good Luck and I hope you have a great outcome on this relationship!
