i haven;t told my parents about the guy i'm dating. they know him very well...we spend a lot ot time together, ect, and all they know is that we're "good friends". I want to tell them that we're going out, but I'm scared shitless. He's 12 years older than I am, he's divorced and has a 7 year old kid. My parents know all this. I'm totally ok with the age difference..we get along superbly. The divorced part I can look over. The past is the past. But his kid is where I get stuck. I'm still trying to battle with that isuue and a few more things.. so if they ask me about it...i won;t have a clear answer.
i know my parents like him as a person a lot, but I also know that they believe that he's not the guy for me. I told my brother today, and he was against it. And I'm dreading telling the parents.. They're gonna flip out..
Would you, or do you give a lot of weight to the opinions family members have about the person you are seeing? I see why they worry, but I'm willing to see if things can work out, because the guy is really something different and special...
