I’ve been in a relationship with this GREAT woman thats younger than me by 5+ years for almost 2 years. Shes smart, she attend Northwestern University Grad school. shes funny and more importantly shes CHRISTIAN. I’m currently in the army reserves stationed in Iraq for most of our relationship. I’m coming home for 2 weeks for vacation then I go back. My family HATES her and send her emails and phone calls threaten her to stay away because they think she’s a golddigger. personally I dont think she is but I have been paying her bills like rent and utilty bills which isnt cheap in Evanston IL. I’m very close to my family I have 5 sisters and 4 brothers all older then me. I love my family and I respect their opinion about things. She tells me I should check them about what they are doing to her. I have in small ways but how do you tell your bros- sisters. thats old enough to be your mom and dad to back off? or are they right to be concerned?
