If they're true friends it won't matter to them. As long as you're happy they
should be happy too. But, in the long run all that should matter to you is
your own happiness.

ok yeah friends are one thing.

but what about family?

mom/dad, siblings, grand parents, aunts/uncles, the people who are supposed to love you and support you, unconditionally?

Did I ask the question that cannot be answered?
Or are people just in post Halloween recovery?

If anyone else has questions to ask, go ahead and ask.
I know there has to be something we haven't covered and if you are looking for help I'm sure someone here will have and answer for you.

Well, the sad fact is, sometimes someone who should love you unconditionally, won't.

In a situation like that, I would have to ask myself, "Am I happier doing what they want, or what I want?" While I may respect them and their opinion, and I would take that into consideration, ultimately the choice is mine to make.

There is no "Magic Formula" for a relationship to work. I'm 22 years older than my spouse. That's not all that unusual in Samoa. We have 2 small daughters, 9 and 4, however, and I sometimes feel out of place when we gather with other parents, like at Track Meets and Soccer Games. That's something to consider, raising kids who have one rather "elderly" parent could be some kind of stigma for them.

What I said above goes for family as well. Sadly we can't pick our family members, we get who we get BUT we can decide how we can let them treat us and sometimes some families don't treat each other well and you have to cut them loose. But be very careful before you do such a thing.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years is that you and your family
and friends are not going to always see eye to eye. When it comes to love I
would like them to accept the person I choose, but if they don't.....so be it!
I would rather spend the rest of my life with the one I love rather than the
person my family and friends pick for me, cause I'm the one that has to live
with my choice not them.
