Advice on engagement?

Basically me and my boyfriend intend to get engaged and married sometime in the next 5/6 years, heres the problem we've been together for 2 and a bit years now and eventually we're gonna have to tell his parents, hes an only child so there really protective of him and we think they might not like the idea of us getting married so young so how do we explain that we really love each other and we're serious about being together?Advice on engagement?
I don't know your age (I tend to not look at profiles) but you have two years under you already. Young or older that is a fair commitment. Add in the fact that you are not looking to run off today to Vegas but you actually have plans. Things change, sure, but you have a goal and idea of what you are hoping for the future.





I think you should tell them sooner than later. Let them in and enjoy some of this time with you both. Have more time as a couple with the parents too. As an only child it will mean more to them to be as involved and included as possible. Well, even if he wasn't an only child, but you know what I mean.Advice on engagement?
Well, if you wait to get married until 6 years from now, you will no longer be so young, and basically everyone will be expecting you to get married by then. That's how it was with my fiance. We originally got engaged after three months of knowing each other, when he was 21 and I was 22. Because we were both so young and had only been together such a short time, members of both families expressed disapproval and basically treated our engagement as a joke. Well, they were kind of right because we broke the engagement off after a few months because we fought all the time. Luckily, our break-up only lasted about three days, but we decided to remain un-engaged and go back to the beginning again. We didn't get engaged again for another 5 years, and by that time everyone kept harrassing us about when we were going to get married. In fact, when we finally announced our engagement, most people were like, ';It's about time!!'; I guess my point is that time changes everything, and if your goal is to get married 5-6 years from now, you shouldn't have a problem getting everyone to be happy for you both.
Well first of all, how old are you? Unless you're still in your teens, there's nothing wrong with it, especially if you plan on waiting for 5 or 6 years. Your parents are probably concerned about you being financially and emotional ready for marriage. After all, it's one of the biggest steps you'll ever take in life! Sit down with them and ask them what their concerns are.
Cross that bridge when you come to it. 5 - 6 years is still way out there and a lot can happen between now and then. No need to say anything right now.
i wouldnt worry about it until theres a ring involved. you never know in 5 years his parents might warm up to the idea.
I'd chill on the making waves until someone actually proposes.
