What should I tell my parents

I dont know your age but I find that parents should only speak in a advisary capacity when their son/daughter consider marriage.It's a matter between boy and girl. People have a way of becoming whayou encourage them to be not what you nag them to be.Paul

Im curious as to your age as well.  Your parents should not pressure you into a situation like this or any life altering situation for that matter.  When you and the bf know that its the right time, then you'll know and that has nothing to do with how either of your parents feel.  I would just tell your parents that when or if its the right person or right time you will be the one who decides. Tell them that you rescept their opinions and that you care deaply for this other person (if you do), but your a big girl and will decide when the time is right and with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Also if you and your parents keep bugging your bf, he may get 

fed up with all of you and then not only will you not be engaged, 

but you won't even have a boyfriend! 

To make it short , you are the one marring the guy not your parents. If you pressure your boyfriend it might affect your relationship in the future. A marriage that was conducted when one of the sides is not sure of it may encounter lots of problems. Most of us get married once in a life time why not do it right. I must add if he has a fear of committing for a long time then it might not ever change and that a different problem.

dont let your parents pressure you and your bf into marriage especially if one of you is not ready yet, marriage is a big step in a relationship.

Tell the Parents you appreciate their concern , but you and he are busy building a long term , solid relationship that you hope will last forever, so it is private and hopefully, you will have more info for them in the future.

Hi,

     You should not let your parents pressure your bf to marry you.  He needs to be ready for it financially, morally and emotionally.  Marriage is a big committment.  He will propose to you when he is ready.
