The GOOD thing is that you met his parents...

The BAD thing is that you met his parents...

Honey, these people are cruel beyond words. I GUARANTEE a young wife is waiting in the wings. WHY? because he is asking money from you to PREPARE the house??? What?? Man PREPARING the home?? NEVAH!

What will happen: those nice sweet people will turn so cold & harsh on you....pretty much right after the ceremony. They will soon DEMAND money from you. And til the day it is legal for divorce. They will do it. The reason?? The son is the provider for their old age. And if this is how he has to do it, so be it. THEY LUV MONEY!! It's the FAMILIES that marry. YOUR $$$ will simply be used to impress the one that is waiting.The one that was probably "promised" in marriage when they were mere children.

My tipoff is the age difference and the fact that he used the prophet Muhammed (pbuh} life as an example.

Dear, this is my advice: since you deserve every experience life has to offer marry with him...and pray that all is well. DO IT. Even if you know the outcome....even if you don't . It's ALL in Gods hands actually. Open up this gift of luv. You deserve it!! Some beauty tips: LEARN TO COOK THE FOOD HE LIKES. Keep your skin lovely & fair. NEVER allow the grey hairs to show. Converting to Islam will make him think twice before leaving you. Sadly, the reason he will give is that at your age you cannot give him children...

Now, you KNOW how deep the ocean is....so go for a swim! All the best!!
