My husband and I eloped almost two years ago. He is in the Navy, I had dropped out of college at the time (not at all related to him, it was a personal decision). We had never "officially" been boyfriend and girlfriend, however when he came to visit we just decided that since we had been in love for so long (5 years) and neither of us cared about weddings and I didn't want to live there anymore we should just go ahead and do it. We called up a Justice of the Peace, got married, and I moved with him to Connecticut from Ohio. My parents were devastated. I was the Salutorian of my highschool, and their expectations for me are very high and strict. They have been trying to make me get a divorce since I got married. They have met him and liked him (until we got married). I am 22, he is 23 and we have no children. I adore him, but with the constant pressure from my parents, I am starting to wonder if they are right, and whether it is worth the pain I am causing them. Any insight?
