I am 20 years old and he just turned 19. We have been together for a LONG time and I love him so much. From the first time our eyes met I couldn't take them away from him and he couldn't take them away from me. He gave me a ring but its more like a promise ring. How do we tell our parents that we are really serious without them getting to involved?

Unless your parents ask your actions should be the ultimae factor that shows your parents how in love you are. You don't need to tell them anything, just stay together and if they ask tell them the truth. Parent's are NOT dumb they know when you are trying too hard to prove a point so simply live your life stay in love and be happy and that is all your parents will need to see, atleast that was all my parents needed to see!

Be comfy once you tell them. people mimic different body language and vibes so in case you bypass in there scared and worried with an air the you've achieved some thing incorrect then they're going to sense that and react to that. bypass in there with a comfortable body language and a contented vibe. verify you've your plan n you head so that you'll ans the questions they have like... what are you gonna do? How are you gonna help the youngster? the position are you gonna stay? Are you 2 gonna get married in the previous the youngster is born (older people have a tremendous go with for oldsters of youngsters to be married in the previous the youngster arrives??) What are you gonna so about your preparation. also seem into what kind of income you may be entitled to. good luck and sense free you've were given a alluring infant on the way so be excited!

well, if you have been together for a long time, then your parents must have met him already and know how close you are. i've been with my boyfriend for 3 1/2 years and my parents knew when they saw the ring how things were.. they didnt even have to ask. depending on your parents, you can just be like oo look what he gave me n of course they will ask what it " means" and you can just tell them there

I wouldn't say anything because if you both are serious about being together, I'm sure your parents can see that. If you are concerned about your parents knowing, sit down and talk to them once you've decided that you will be getting engaged, or do the old fashioned thing and have your man ask for "permission" from your parents to marry you.

Well first of all both of you are now adults. So really all they can do is give you advise.Tell them together. It shows unity. Maybe have a family dinner with both sets of parents. Don't get defensive, after all you have been together a long time and hopefuly both parents adore the both of you, Good Luck

If you two have been together for a long time then your parents probably already know that you are serious about each other. So, go sit down with them and talk.

Some things are better left unsaid. Your parents will figure out the seriousness on their own. In the meantime, you are VERY young, things may change so don't rush into anything. Good luck to you both.

if you are wearing the ring, your parents will probably ask about it. then just casually say "oh its a promise ring". its not like youre saying "we are getting married, lets start planning right now"
i know as soon as my boyfriend gave me a ring, my mom was like "Whats that?" right away!!

wait to tell them and wait to get married too!! dont just elope,(if that has crossed your mind) and if you can try living together (no religious issues) then DO IT! you will learn a lot! and dont be in such a rush, i am only 23 and i am telling you dont rush!! they arent kidding when they say, stay a kid as long as you can! if you know you will always be together then what is the need to jump into marriage just yet.... good luck to you!

I wouldn't say anything just yet. Your relationship is still vulnerable. I would wait until you ready mine, body and, soul is into it. Wait until your ready to move in together. Be prepared for a lot unnecessary committing. Good luck.
