Guys, what do you think bout this thing? my man asked me to marry him.?

Question

my bestfriend and now my boyfriend for five years asked me to marry him next year. i do love this man so much that i will do whatever it takes to be with him forever.

the problem is,his parents are a bit strict when it comes to that issue. he is the youngest in the family and the apple of the eye. his parents expect all the best from him. we are not sure if they will agree for us to get married. we are both 23 years old and already have jobs. he is so afraid to ask his parents about it, he said he don't have enough courage to ask. i told him if he really wants us to get married then he need to take the risk at least he try.

this thing really bothers me. what can you suggest?

Answer 1

You are both 23 years old and he's afraid of his parents? He's a coward. You need to think long and hard about this one. My opinion is that if he doesn't tell his parents, not ask but tell them, right now, that you intend to marry, you need to be rid of him. It's time to move on.

You don't want to live the rest of your life with a person who is that weak. You owe your future children something better.

Answer 2

if the man truly loves you as he has told you many times im sure then he will work up the courage an tell them. love will make you do alot of things an coming to realize that you found the person you are to marry an spend your life with chould give him the courage to tell his parents.. hope all goes well

Answer 3

if he can't get up the courage to ask his parents then maybe he just isn't ready yet. i would give him more time to get used to the fact he just doesn't sound likes hes ready to get married yet. You can still live together and stuff like a married couple just without the rings. hope it works out for you.

Answer 4

I don't think that 23 is too young to get married if you are both happy and settled in to your own lives. But if he is too afraid to have an adult conversation with his parents about marrying you, then I doubt he is mature enough to get married and be a husband. You are clearly both adults, so I am not sure why you need to ask his parents permission to get married. Do his parents not approve of you? Are your finances in order to get married? Are you both mature enough to commit to each other? These are just a couple things you need to consider before making such a big step.  

Answer 5

waking up to the same person..the rest of your young life.

Answer 6

If you both really love each other and you have been together for that long you should know by now, then you should get married, you are 23 and shouldn't need to ask his parents permission, they should want whats best for him and if you make him happy then that is what is best!!!! Don't ask if you can get married go there and tell them you are getting married. Me and my husband got engaged when I was 21 and he was 26, we had only been together for 8 months when we got engaged, got married a few months before I turned 23 and we have now been married for nearly 2 years, on our 2 year wedding anniversary we will have been together for 4 years!!  We never asked our parents whether we should get married we just went to them and told them that we were engaged!!! We have a really good relationship and both our parents are really happy for us. Good luck with it all.
