How do I tell my family..?Help please :/
We had been talking about marriage before he left and his mom and sisters already know and are for it. His mom wants us to wait till we are finacially situated of course, and that is understandable. Unfortunately none of us were aware of all the complications that rely on exactly when you are married. Since i have joined on here, i have gotten the impression that sooner is better--so there is time for it to process and so i can be on his orders and such. And of course he would have to ask and figure out when he would have permission to marry as well (thats what he told me in his letter anyway). However i am not sure how knowledgable he is about all the details i have found out about on here regarding this. And i am sure his family has no idea or isnt really thinking about it. We wanted to wait until he finished a-school, but with these new conditions to factor in, i think its best for us to decide accordingly. I havent gotten to have this discussion with him yet b/c he is at BC and the communication is rough right now. If we do decide to get married while he is in a-school, how do I explain that to my family?? We havent been together very long but we love each other so much and are sure. I dont think my mom would understand. :( I am currently only 17, turning 18 in January--so legally i could get married during his a-school. She would want us to wait a while before we get up and get married already, she would want college first and wouldnt warm up to the idea of a "quick" wedding at all. How do i make her understand? I havent really talked to her about how we feel about each other or our plans really. His family would better understand i think b/c they know how sure we are. But mine has no idea that we were even thinking about marriage. Help, advice please??
