Resolved Question

Why my family doesn't understand?

My boyfriend and I have been together for about 1 year and 2 months. He is currently in the Army and he just started Basic Training late last month. He want me to go with him when he get stationed so we can be together because we don't like the seperation now and I agreed. I'm currently in college now and just because I leave and go with him don't mean I'll quit school. I will still go to school. The problem is staying on Base with him. We will have to be married and he is so ready for that and I am too. Before we get married we will go to counseling. I love him dearly just the same way he do me. My family don't think that we should get married yet but I don't see why not. Can somebody please help me or inform me.

Only you can know if your ready for marriage,but as a mother I would want my child to hold off for just a little while until things were more stable and she worked more on her education if one day things go wrong God forbid they do but if they do you will be able to make a life for your self and not miss a beat
Best of Luck in what ever decision you make

They just want what's best for you. That means they see what's best for you differently from the way you see what's best for yourself

Once married, it will affect scholarships and student loans. Also, as you move around it becomes more difficult to complete your schooling, each school will require 32 credit hours in residence to allow you to graduate. think of a school who also has a good web based program, it will at least allow you to finish. But like everyone else who has responded, its your parents and they love you and want the best for you, that is the core of their concern. I know I worry about my girls.
