what my mommy says is that money doesnt matter if you love the person.. if you love your boyfriend you will not let him down jus because of his money.. besides.. who's him? you or your parents.. its your choice who you want to be with.. in my opinion!

Girl, 1stly, congrates on ur enagement.
Its ur life, since you are going into the another stage of life, i hope that you can be objective. Lets say about you parents do not like your bf because he is not loaded. U love him, not his money so, ignore your parents point of views. Tell your parents that U respect them and therefore you introduce your bf to them. In any case where you parent give very bad attitude or certain reaction which show no interest in meeting your bf, if i were you i will walk away with my bf.
Im sorry to say, perhaps your parents are far too materialistic (maybe??)

Your existence isn't too undesirable. you in problem-free words favor to do IT for decades. you'll marry and function little ones quickly. The Western way of existence isn't that giant. Indians have solid relations values and morals and also you're particularly fortunate that you've your dad and mom looking once you. trend designing sounds extra exciting yet somewhat its VERY demanding to get artwork. How would your dad sense if he spent all that money on a route that replaced into fruitless. it truly is boring yet reliable and as I reported you'll marry and submit to little ones youthful. Your father is acquainted with whats good for you.

eto... well introducing bf/gf to family members is a standard procedure i guess most couples will go through? book a table at some restaurant for high tea or something and introduce him to them. if they say anything insulting more than what you or you bf can tolerate just leave the place. show your resolve. since the soft approach - telling them - wont work, then do it the hard way. but try to tolerate as much criticisms as possible. hope that helps =.+
**note: this MAY strain your relationship with ur parents. pls reconsider thrice.

Congrats your engaged!
Lets see...
The reason why your parents object is because from your statement, he has no loads of money, they seem to be under the immpression that he cant financially support you.
getting married is a big step and being inlove is fine... but if the guy cant support you, no parent would agree to your engagement.
Its nice that your parents would like to meet him and its good that they do. Let them know who you love and who you will be sharing your life with.
If If they disapprove him, what can they do? There not the ones whose going to mary him right?

Listen,I have the same problem but we are not getting engaged or married yet with my boyfriend.My parents didn't want to meet him because of his low financial status but now i have decided that i will introduce him to them at the party i'll be throwing for my birthday.
My opinion is to introduce him to them when other people will be around!And since you have taken the decision of getting engaged then don't worry of what they'll say or how they will react.Am sure they'll get over it sooner than you think! ;)
Good luck!

You are not alone,baby! Take courage and fight for your love! ALL ,I mean ALL parents are parents are like that. but money is nothing when you are in love,correct.
You also can't blame your parents for feeling so,why? Because lately this world has turned materialistic. Evrything ,every move is dictated with money. The size of your house, the car you buy , the things you buy for your ids etc. and lack of it has caused families to fall apart. Love of money can make the best relationships fall.
Rents have to be paid,tuition fees mortgages etc all this will be your burden in your married life,but if you know ho to control yourself you will not have to suffer. I'll teach you how but you have to pay me 300 bucks for it LOL
So for your sake,when you confront your parents that money is not necessary in your marriage then keep that in mind. Set aside your greed and save a lot of money and prove to them later in life that you can succeed and have plenty of money-TOGETHER!
Congratulations and Best wishes to you both! Hey don't forget to invite me OK?

I have a lot of respect for you. I have zero respect for your parents. I cannot stand to think how selfish parents are, thinking that just cause a guy has money, he'll treat you right, you are actually more mature than them. I would bet my life your happier with your man than your mom and dad are, aren't you. Do me a huge favor, if you haven't seen it, rent the notebook and watch it with him, it will change your views forever okay? Best of luck kiddo

it's your life and you have to live it. it sound like your parents want you to marry for money and not for love. if that man make you happy you marry him. good luck
