How do I keep my sanity around my parents?

because he hasn’t always been the nice guy he is now he used to not behave himself but he has changed and if he hadn’t then i wouldn’t be with him and i don’t see why my mother thinks that i can’t make good decisions

Are you getting married for your parents or for yourselves?

You are legally an adult. Begin acting like one. If you want to get married get married; if you don’t want to get married don’t.

As long as you give your parents power to control you they will.

You can go through life trying to please everyone else or you can do what you need to do to please yourself. Trying to please everyone else at your expense is a loosing proposition. It took me until I was 40 to figure this out so I’m trying to save you a few years.

You are 18. The decision is yours.

if your parents are still supporting you financially than they have some leverage in your life. When I moved in with my GF I knew my parents wouldn’t approve so I cut the apron strings ahead of time. I got a job and supported myself. If they didn’t like my living arrangement it was their problem.

There are times when as an adult you have to distance yourself from your parents until they come around. Next time your parents call to argue with you tell them that you love them but you have already made up your mind and have no desire to discuss it any further and hang up. You are 18 and no longer need their aproval.

What REASON do they have for saying all this stuff about your fiance?

he is still but we have put off the wedding until my parents come around

i know what your saying but i would just like to have my daddy walk me down the ilse

I thought he was your fiance…?
