What should I tell my parents

My parents know about my relationship with my boyfriend of 6 months. They really like him, and since then have been pressuring me for marriage--afterall I'm desi! I spoke to my bf, but he's not ready yet. He's committed to me, but says he needs more time as far as marriage goes. What should I tell my parents? Don't want to make things bad between anyone?

Its never too late to ask.

When you get pregnant it will be too late. No, you don't want to pressure him but tell him if he has honorable intentions you need to know what they are. See if he'll meet with your folks? If not there are issues and he's needs to step up to the plate.

Your Parents Keep Butting in Your Relationships Pushing Marriage on a Guy That's Not REady, and HE'll WALK.

No Offense But THEY Need to Mind THEIR OWN Business..He'll Ask YOU When HE's READY. Hell THEY Might BE WRecking Your Chances for This One.

First of all 6 months is not a long enough relationship in which to be getting engaged, take it from someone who has been engaged more than 3 times and called off all of them before I made a HUGE mistake. Anyone and any book will tell you that you need to be with someone through all 4 seasons before being able to make that decision, that would be one full year. You also did not say how old you or he are and generally men under 30 are slow on the draw when it comes to popping the question, even if they get you pregnant and you're about to pop! If your parents are not very understanding, buy the book "Getting to I Do" and show them even the book says not under 1 year is normal for getting engaged, it says that talking about marriage comes up between 6 and 9 months if the relationship is heading that way. Let them read it in print and then maybe that will keep them from souring on him. And maybe if all else fails the book will help in some way.
