How do I tell my parents I am getting married?
Ok the story is that I have been living with my boyfriend for 6yrs and a month but have been see each other for a little more than that. We are really serious about each other and have decided to get married. The problem, my family doesn't really like him 100% because a few reasons. One he doesn't have a job right now. Two he is a very shy person around a lot of people and is not as sociable as my parents would like him to be. My mom has hinted that she doesn't want me to marry him. I am really in love with him and feel like we are soul mates and that we are made for each other, we complete one another.
Please help me because I am so excited that we have decided to go the rout of getting married and I want to share those feelings with the family that I love.
Thank you
Melissa
