Why don't my parents want me to be happily married?

sometimes I think parents put up roadblocks in regards to relationships because they are just not ready to let go and have there children grow up. There afraid that you will be hurt in some way, also in your situation there is an age difference and that to is probably a reason for their worry. After all someone at 27 is a lot more worldly then someone of 18, im not being harsh by saying that. Here is the thing you need to tell your parents that you respect their feelings appreciate their concern but would like them to lighten up a litle and be aware that they cant shield you forever and that part of growing up is making ones own choices and mistakes. That is how we grow and become wiser. well wish you luck !

Parents DO want their kids to be happy. Sometimes what the kid thinks will bring happiness, isn’t the same as what the parents think. Do your parents have a reason to be negative? Is your boyfriend into drinking, or bad habits? Has he been in jail? Ask yourself if they might know something that you don’t. Ask them. Let them know that you are trying to understand. (Don’t ask when anyone is upset, and it’s probably better to ask your mom.) Whatever you do, if you and your boyfriend are having sex, TAKE PRECAUTIONS. Go to Planned Parenthood (14470 S La Grange Rd # 101, Orland Park, IL (708) 349-2227‎) or your doctor for birth control methods. You are 18, so the doctor is bound by law NOT to reveal the reason for your visit.

Remember that your parents love you very much. Good Luck

you should never get married just to prove your parents wrong or anything. and I bet that you do love him a lot!! and good for you. But I really think that you need to stay with him longer so you tow can really get to know each other, because he does live so far away. 8 months is not a long time–compared to a lifetime.

If you really love him, then marry him. You’re 18 now, and your parents (legally) can’t control you. If you really think with that big of an age difference your love and marriage can last, then forget what your parents said and marry him.

I guess you should find out why they don’t like him. They can probably see some bad things about him that you can’t see. because love is blind. If their reasons are not significant then you should see him anyway because you are 18 years old and you are not a child anymore. I think it would be a good idea to have a long talk with your parents about how you feel about this guy and how you feel about the way they are acting hope that helps.

they dont like him because hes half mexican half italian an because they just think hes a liar

oh well just talk to them . tell them how you feel.

i married my first and hes the love of my life so i think u should go for it
