not to long ago my boyfriend told me that he was going to ask me to marry him but he didn't know how his parents would take it, then his mom said no to it at least until we're both out of college. but now that's told me about that that's all that i think about and i really want to do it. what would you do in this situation?

i will wait until we are out of college before i will get married. i know you are feeling all excited about it and you seemed like you are not getting enough sleep just by thinking about the whole thing.
though you love each other very much, i would suggest that you start a life together when you are both matured at all aspects; Goodluck and i hope you decided wisely.

well, first of all, if he let his mommy tell him he couldn't get married, what kind of momma's boy have you got there? I didn't ask my parents if I could get married...I TOLD my parents I was engaged. I would definitely have reconsidered marrying my wife if she would have told me that she had to ask permission to get married, or if she had told me that she couldn't marry me because her parent's said no. He needs to be a man and tell his mom to butt out...
My next issue is that what kind of husband is he going to be to you? Is he going to live his own live, or are you going to have to deal with his parents trying to be involved in other aspects of your life? Think long and hard about these things before you marry this guy. You may end up having more of a child to raise and support than a husband to love and nurture and protect you.

I think if you are both well overage, and want to get married, then get married. Personally I believe everyone should make their own dicisions. And if he wants to marry you he should ask and if you want to marry him you will say yes. Personally ill never listen to my parents if I want to do something Im gonna esp now that im an adult and in charge of my own life.

I think you just need to try and be patient, it was probably not the best idea for him to tell you what he was going to do, as you said now you know it is like your just constantly waiting for the big question. At the end of the day if the parents are not happy then you do not want to go ahead with it and cause upset through out the family as this will only make it hard in the long term. The only other thing I couls suggest is something I dont when I was in a relationship and that was my partner bought me a ring and when he gave it to me we said that it would be an eternity ring for the time being intill we were ready to get engaged officially. In my mind I was engaged however to everyone else it was just a sign of his love for me without the label ENGAGED.

i would wait until i was out of college.. if you guys are together who needs a peice of paper that bind you. if you love each other you are already marred in your own way, you just dont have the paper to show it. or you can look at it as if it dont work out at least you dont have to get a divorce!
