Re: Marriage n parents
You need to find out what makes your folks hesitant about the guy and his family. Do they have a better option for you. Sometimes parents could have valid concerns or fears. They have made a mistake before..maybe they are cautious this time. I think it is unfortunate that you are not close to your parents and can't address the situation openly.
You and the boy need to play a bigger role than you are playing at the moment. Speak up.
