Talk about bad timing. As you can see in the signature, I'm leaving Createblog for a while.

Well, I'm sure you all know I am engaged. What you probably don't know is that my fiance is 18 years older than me. (I'm 17 years old.) Of course, my friends have accepted it, he really is a wonderful guy and I've been dating him for about 2 years, and Geena adores him to death, it's just that my family doesn't know how old he is yet.

Most of you know that I had Geena when I was just 13, by another man - the man responsible for me leaving CB ( stubborn.gif ) - and when I had her, my family basically disowned me. I haven't talked to them since.

BUT....

This morning, guess who calls? My parents. They heard I was getting married, blah blah.

They complained that I have been ignoring them, and why should I? I mean, they only ditched me to be on my own, carrying a baby for 9 months, with no money. [/end sarcasm]

But since they are family, and I haven't seen/talked to them in almost 5 years, I decided to let them meet my fiance. The only thing is, I'm worried what they'll think about him. I mean, as previously stated, he is a GREAT guy and I know because Geena is in love with him ( happy.gif ), but my family just won't understand.

They still are criticizing, rude and ashamed about me having Gee, but of course, they're family and I admit that I miss them. Sort of.

John (my fiance) is pretty excited to meet them, even though he thinks he knows that I'm uncomfortable about it. He just thinks I'm uncomfortable because I haven't seen them in a while.

I'm really worried about how my family will talk (trust me, gossip in my family gets around, really fast), they'll think that I'm a slut or something, because my fiance and me have such a huge age difference.

I know I shouldn't care, but this is my FAMILY and I don't want them to judge.


If any mod feels this shouldn't be in the Relationship forum, please move it.

wow...wow, that is really tough what you're going through. I really admire what you are doing though. The age difference thing isn't that bad, as long as you love him. I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful :) And yes i can see where you're coming from about your family...But i think that no matter what they say (good or bad) they will always love you. They'll probably be shocked at first, but i believe you when you say john is a nice guy, so I think that over time they would accept him. Don't freak out if at first they don't like him, they probably would just be shocked ya know? And just because you guys have a big age difference does NOT mean your a slut! And i don't think your family will think so. Frankly I admire what you're doing, from Geena, to ur ex, to this situation with your family and John. As I said before, I will def pray for you. Keep that beautiful smile on your face :) things are gonna work out
