Dear Abby: My boyfriend chooses his parents over me every time. Will he ever marry me?
The boyfriend delays marriage, prioritizing his parents and causing trust issues, despite having two children and a third on the way, with counseling suggested after nearly two years.
- Wannabe Wifey, the letter writer, wants to marry and start a family, but her boyfriend brought home a new dog despite her objections, making her consider ending the relationship.
- His parents consistently come before anyone else, and they effectively co-parent him, the writer says.
- Evidence in the letter shows that long, extensive conversations have failed to move the boyfriend, and Astro, the family dog who died three months ago, was replaced too soon by the new dog resembling Astro.
- Dear Abby recommends offering couples counseling after two years, and if the boyfriend refuses, the columnist warns that nothing is likely to change and you should act accordingly.
- They have two children with a third on the way, and Dear Abby notes ending may be impractical after 12 years despite reports of almost two years' relationship length.
