I've been dating a guy for almost 4 months now, and I feel like we're really starting to fall for each other. The problem is, he's 8 years older than me (I'm 22). He also doesn't have a college education, and in the past he made some stupid decisions about drunk driving which resulted in him not having a drivers license for the next 2 years. I am completely confident he has learned from his mistakes, and despite his lack of education, has held down a decent paying job for the last 7 years I believe. He treats me better than any boyfriend I have had in my life thus far. The problem is, if i tell my family about him, they will only pay attention to the bad facts. They will think I am settling, not thinking of my best interests...the guy won't make enough money...etc.... I don't know how I can let them know without having this be a constant battle. I've met a really great guy and want to be happy about it! help!
