Maybe not ready for marriage

Quote From: kindheart1

my name is bridget and i am 17 i'll be turning 18 in January and i'm getting married to the love of my life in march and his mother and father hates me with a passion. I dont understand it because I have been so nice to them and never said anything out of the way to them because I love my fiance and I dont want him in the middle of all this but he is and I dont like that.. They tell him not to marry me because I'm a trouble maker and a liar and that I'm no good..So we dont know what to do...We are not letting them come to our wedding or come to our house or anything because of the way that his parents treats us when we are together.  They are so harsh I'm a very sweet and loving girl and I always give everyong a chance because thats the kind of person that I am. I love my fiance with all my heart and soul but we just dont know what to do about his parents because they even abused him when he was little but he is nothing like his parents at all..He is so loving and caring it's hard to believe that he came from that mess you know.  So my parents are helping us by giving us their old trailer and helping us get started ...We love my parents cause they are willing to help us and approve of our marriage...So Please if you all have any advice or just anything please let me know....Thanks Bridget

Hi Bridget,

I'm a fairly young mom of an 18 year old son. I'm sorry your not getting the respect it sounds like you deserve from your fiancee's parents. The only thing I can think of is if my son announced he was getting married to anyone at this point in time I would have a difficult time accepting it. I wouldn't be disrespectful of the person he felt he loved enough to marry, but I would be concerned. The two of you are so very young and there are so many experiences you have yet to experience before marriage. Yes experience them together, explore things together, just not married, yet. I don't want to sound like someone who doesn't understand where you're at, I just remember very vividly how very much I thought I "knew exactly what I wanted" when I was your age and come to find out, I didn't really have a clue. Wow, life changes so dramatically, in a blink of an eye. Is there any way the two of you could wait a year or two? If you're going to be together forever anyway, why not have "dating" time first? I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
