At least she approves? Always try to look on the bright side.

It appears she does, for now anyway. She's at least supportive in my happiness, though a bit skeptical since I havent brought him home to meet any of the fam.

And i didnt exactly tell her WHEN i plan on marrying him...

I see...

So whats the issue here? The fam wont like your partner?

its more or less the fact that they tend to be super judgemental. He has a criminal record, several misdemeanors, and i know they will judge him for it. But more importantly, my family is mormon and doesnt necessarily agree with anyone that isnt part of the church as my mom is INTENT on me getting married in the Temple, and i am incredibly uninterested in such frivolous things

Good luck in this affair, Limi. In the end, they know that defying faith isnt such a big deal in terms of life choices. I hope they will.
