It's not your life, now is it?

Let him do it. He can get a divorce in due course.

Well if he's just setting a deadline for himself then perhaps you should address that he shouldn't rush into it and that he should find the right person. I know you are his mother, but he's an adult and can make decisions for himself. If he's with someone that he loves, then you should trust that he can make the decision. Even if you don't agree with them. It will either work out or he will learn from his mistakes.

How long has he been in this relationship? If he has his heart set on it, you must allow him to make his own mistakes and be there for him. Still, no harm in telling him that if he is in love, and is loved back, there is no hurry at all. If he is certain of his love, why the rush to get married?

Let him choose if hes really happy and if its a good choice but I think its nice of you to think of that ! You must really love him!

It's his decision

rockyfella25 · #12 27-12-2007, 21:19

If he wants to marry then be happy and respect his wishes.

i'm 23 and im BEGGING my boyfriend to buy me that special ring. we've been together 3 years and living together 2/3. i would STRONGLY advise your son to live with this girl for at least ONE FULL YEAR before making a decision like that. he'll be surprised when he starts realizing how much goes into a marriage. if he still feels the same in a year, cut the cord mama!

it's really his decision. Marrying young is coming back these days; everyone used to marry young. Don't push him, let him make his own decision.
