Telling my friends and family that my man and I are back tog
Question Posted Wednesday July 18 2007, 6:54 pm
I'm gonna try to make this a s short as possible. My man and I have been together two years and we have a 7 month old son together. Our relationship has been very rocky pretty much the whole time but we can't seem to get enough of each other. We have destroyed each others property, said tons of hurtful things to one another, and I even had him put in jail twice. Our families and friends have watched and had opinions to give the whole time and I'm scared of what they might say when I tell them we're back together (again). What should I do?
I know that isn't the advice you are looking for at all, but it's the best advice I have.
If you are ashamed to explain a decision to your friends and family, that is often a good clue that your decision sucks!
Certainly don't expect them to be happy, and at this point, you don't really have any right to demand their respect either. You aren't behaving respectfully to your man, your child, and certainly seem to be lacking some self respect as well.
If you really want to be with him, then tell them with a stiff upper lip and accept their valid criticism with maturity and decorum. They have lots of reasons to be upset and negative. Arguing with them will do nothing but upset everyone, so accept their feelings and respect them, even if you don't agree. You will have to prove them wrong.

They might get even more angry or even offended if you don't tell them & they find out by someone else or any other way. Just sit down with them [it might be better if your bf was there too] & explain your feelings for each other & why you made your decision. Don't worry too much about it. It was your choice to date each other & that's what you should be concerned about.
