The thing with me is, I dont want to have to manipulate the situation to get my parents involved. It is the equivalent of being with man for 10yrs and browbeating him to marry you, you leave him in an attempt to 'convince' him he needs you, then he comes crawling back. To me, if he really wanted yo marry you - no browbeating would be necessary. Same with my mom (folks). If anything, I want natural affection to take over...not all of that background work.
I have to disagree. Even as a husband there is no way my love for my wife should be able to come close to what a parent should have, particularly a mother who had your heartbeat in her and shared her blood with you for 9 months!
