About xsunshinexsmilesx

Good day to you!
I'm an eighteen year old female studying art and French in college. (That's my intro ;-p)
I am around if you would like advice or thoughts about love/relationships or anything of that sort, but...
BE FOREWARNED!!!
I am a Christian, and therefore my thoughts, advice, and opinions come from a Christian perspective...so if you have a problem with that, you may not wish to ask me questions! I personally don't mind who asks me what...that information was meant simply to enlighten you.
Also, please forgive me if I don't respond immediately, as I DO have a life here at college, and it's not exactly candy.

My parents are divorced.. my mom's boyfriend proposed to her a few months ago and ever since then they have been having major problems. They never get along, and they're having a lot of money problems too. It's like one day they're all lovey-dovey and flirting and everything, and the next day they're not speaking to eachother. My mom keeps saying that she doesn't know if she wants2 spend the rest of her life with him or not. But i really want them to get married. Is there anything I can do to help them out? I've already suggested couple's therapy but he doesn;t wanna go. Any more suggestions? My mom is always depressed, and its making me depressed and it;s really hard to live like this. plz help!!
You said "My mom is always depressed..." at the end of your submission. Have you considered that perhaps this boyfriend isn't good for her?
I know you want them to get married, but consider a few things here:
1) is she depressed because of her boyfriend?
2) would she be better off marrying him?
3) do you want them to get married for your sake, or for your mom's?
It is very possible that your mom is still hurting from the divorce, and isn't quite ready to remarry. I could be wrong, though.
It might help you to talk with your mom about how you're feeling--I don't know how close you are to her, but it may help if she knows that you are supporting her, no matter what decision she makes (remember that this is her life, too).
