My mom and dad are really against me marrying my fiancee. Even now that we are raising a baby together, they want me to leave him and stay with them instead, raising my baby as a single mom. I hate it. We have plans of getting married by next year. We want a simple ceremony. I don't know if I should tell them or not.

Are your parents over controlling or they really hate this guy? I think you should try and work things out with your family. If you marry him your kid might grow up without your parents being there due to bad vibes and family is important and I am sure there is a way to resolve the issues if both sides are willing to listen.

I agree with your opinion.I think parents are the important part in my life,if you can't get their admission,you will feel sorry.and parents are so experienced ,maybe they can judge if the man is your Mr.right.But she really loves that guy,just follow her own heart.Do you think so?.(Forgive my poor English)

It is really honestly your choice. Have you asked your parents why they don't want you to marry your fiance and like you said plus you both have a child together. Maybe you should ask them and see what their answer is to why they don't want you to marry him. But at first I must say that my mom did not want me to marry my husband, but we got married anyway and through out the years, she got to know my husband better and then she was really glad that we got married and now she is glad to have him as her son-in-law. Despite her pleas for me to not marry him, we did anyway.

In my opinion, whether they approve or not- it is better to let them know about your wedding. My parents are also against my husband before- so we got married without them around (only my husband's parents are there) It's really sad- that is why I suggest that you let them know. Who knows maybe by this time they have forgiven you...just give it a try

Zain, the best thing to do always in this case is to listen to your heart. I think you have a nice dream of having your own family. Go for it and show your parents that you can stand on your own.

Oh, it is too bad. Maybe you should talk with your parents deeply and resolve the problem. Good luck, my friend.

It is your choice if you want to marry your beloved fiancee. Tell your parents the truth that you will be married. Do not wait until next year. You have a settlement before you get qedding. That makes you calm down.

If both of you are at the right age, there's nothing your parents can do to prevent you from marrying the one you love. Love can move mountains and break barriers.

Its your right to decide what is best for you. Have you sat down with your parents and talked about this?

Do not follow their decision.If you really love your husband then you must fight for your love to him.Follow of what your heart says because you are the one know your future with his side.And in fact,you had already a baby and he is the father of your child.

yeah, situation like that is very difficult. But, why do your parents forbid you to marry him? there must be a reason right? And you must be have a reason to marry him too, why don't you try to persuade your parents? Maybe your parents will understand.

It is difficult to be in that kind of situation but if you really love each other then it will be easy for the both of you to make decision.

Sorry that you are in such a difficult situation. Do not cut your parents off - please. They will always be part of your life. Do not do anything in a rush - like not telling them about your wedding. You do not want to something now that you might regret after twenty years, hey? Make an appointment to talk to them alone and find out EXACTLY what it is that makes them so unhappy. Listen to their heart. I believe that they love you and wants the best for your life, but it looks as if they have a reason to be concern?

We can't blame your parents for having that thinking to your fiancee. Maybe your fiancee have not extended extra effort in order to reach out to your parents. Hence, your parents are not that close to him and is having second thoughts.

It is your choice and your happiness you need to worry about, along with your child's. Anyone else comes second once you have your own family. If their not happy with your choice it is their problem, not yours. My family did not like my husband when I chose to marry him, but they got over it because it is my life... Your parents will get over it too...

Hey, that's a different kind of story huh... Most of the parents wants their daughter , if they got pregnant, be married to the man who made that! But in your case, ahahaha. Why on earth, they don't like your fiancee? Your baby should have a father. Fight for what you feel, you believe it's right. But, of course, with all due respect to them, they may got angry or whatever, tell them that you are getting married next year. Choose a thing which you can be happy and for the sake of baby. Marry the man you love. Invite me in your wedding huh.. peace :) God bless

I think it's important to know why they are against you marrying. If you don't know, it would probably be a good idea to ask. Listen to what they have to say with an open mind and heart. Try your best to not take offense but to really listen to what they are saying, not just listen to the words. When it comes to something like this, it's easy to become overly emotional and not be able to discuss it clearly. This is true for all. I'm not saying you should do whatever your parents say. I'm just saying listen to them, they might have valid points you've never considered. They might dislike him for things that he does that are unintentional and could be changed. Listen to them.

Oh,I am so sorry for what you are experiencing.For my part,you should know why your parents prevent you from your fiancee and if the problem is that your parents just don't want you to marry with any man.And I think that sometimes parents can know someone much clearer than children ,so to this point you should consider their advices carefully.I think marriage is an important thing in our life.Before it,you and your fiancee should try your best to get your parents'support.Come on ,have a good talk with your parents.

find out the reason they don't want you to marry this person,it could be something beneficial to you.but if its just them being selfish and wanting you around them then you will need to make a strong decision.since we will forever need our parents its good to have a mature relative or their friend talk to them so that your marriage doesn't end up alienating you with them.try as best as possible to make them accept your fiancee so that later on you don't blame anyone for any unhappiness that will come as a result of defying either side.
