My fiancée and I are both 20 years old. We've been together for a year and a half and we love each other to the point of no return.
Problem? My mothers side of the family absolutely hates him (this is including my mother as well). Not a day goes by that one of them Has to say something negative about him and sadly enough, I live with them. This has been going on now for over a year now (assuming because they finally realize we're serious). On top of that, we have yet to tell them that we're engaged... I'm Hispanic, that being said, I am a very family oriented person, but i'm scared that if I tell them, it would start an all out war between my family and I. I know I have to tell them eventually but how am I to do that without starting this war. When him and i have kids down the road, I want my family to be apart of their life...
Only reason they don't like him is because he likes rock music, isn't Christian and is over a foot taller then me (which i love rock music and i'm not Christian either) My dad completely approves, as does my fathers side and my finance's family.
AND! I'not Mexican. lol. I'm Cuban.
Oh, and it doesn't help that my Fiancee is a complete white boy (Irish, american, german , etc.) with a hint of country attitude even though i'm the reason he has that country attitude.
I'm a country girl at heart.
