Default My MWI bf Is asking me to marry him what should I do?

I'm super nervous and excited at the same time Cuz I know he's my soulmate my better half I love him so very much.. But I am too worry about what his family would think if we were to get married without telling them, We have been talking for 9 months, And have been dating for 6 months... He will be out in a couple of months maybe by the end of the year .His family is a little traditional so I'm really scared Wont like me afterwards. I have told him I want to do things right But he is stubborn he says he does not care about what anybody else thinks because he only wants to be with me... What should I do?

well honestly only YOU know what you wanna do and what you should do!
I can tell you this much, I wouldn't be asking what I should do if my man asks me to marry him...I would know what i wanna do either way...and I'd post that he asked and what choice I made.....

What anyone else would or wouldn't do doesn't mean it's what's best for YOU!

I agree with lovemipapi...do what YOU feel in your heart is the right thing to do

If you're asking, you probably aren't ready. The answer should be automatic. Doesn't sound like you've been together very long, so maybe you should take some more time to make sure it's what you want. There's nothing wrong with giving yourself time.

Do yourself a favor - slow down. Give him a chance to settle in to his life outside for about a year before you take that marriage step. If it's going to last, it won't matter if you take some time.

I agree with Nimuay. Take your time. It's a big commitment and you haven't known each other long. Wait till he's out since he doesn't have much time left and allow the relationship to develop.

And, I would not get married without his family knowing. Why start out with problems? Get to know him and his family. I think that's best.

i would definitely wait until he is home especially because you haven't even been talking for a year. & i'm in NO way telling you that what you two have isn't real or he isn't your soul mate but he's so close to being home you might as well try that first & then consider marriage a little bit down the road.

What's the rush? Marriage is a big deal emotionally and financially. Weddings are a celebration - not something to keep hidden from family and friends. Slow down, Hon. If it's meant to be, waiting a little longer can't hurt.

You would have to wait until he gets home anyway. If your man is in CT, the prison marriage thing is anything but fast and I don't think he would even qualify with such a short amount of time left.

All that aside, 6 months of a prison relationship is not enough time together to be planning a lifelong commitment. Keep getting to know him, if he is coming home soon that's even better - you get to see if the actions match the words

All the best

I'm here now at the parking lot waiting 2 c my boo..I'm happy 2 c him. I will also let him know bout my decision. MY DECISION IS: That I do wanna marry him, but such a big commitment should not b rushed and why start something beautiful as marriage is in a hopless place like jail (ALL MY REPECT 2 THOSE WHO DID)when we have the opportunity of doing it out here in the open, free world with no one telling us where 2 sit, where 2 keep our hands, when to kiss or hug...etc.. I'm pretty sure he'll undestand and he'll b ok with it. Thank you guyys for all the good advices...LOVES "T" XOXOXO

Hope it all went well when you talked to him! I like the way you worded your decision and I hope he understood.
