What to do?

Is that your real age? If so you must have my parents and I know how you feel. I would tell them now about you and your husband splitting up. Hopefully the current BF was the cause since that will make it more difficult for them to accept him. So if the soon to be ex was the problem tell them. Give it a few day to sink in, then mention the new BF and how he makes you feel happy and secure and maybe allude that you are living with him but don't say it. If they seem ok with it, then tell them. If not wait a bit but do it before they come down for the weekend. Or maybe...cancel the weekend...that would be what I would do...especially if they will give you a hard time. It is tough being an adult and still having your parents trying to tell you what to do. It causes such stress.

well, I'd be sure to let them know that the husband is out and there's a new guy in - but you aren't planning on getting married, in part because you are still not divorced - and you may not get married for a while because you want to be sure.... AND, if they don't like it, perhaps they shouldn't come....

Wow, that is a sticky situation. I know it would be hard but you might want to go ahead and tell them rather than take a chance on spoiling the holiday weekend. If you told them now it would give them time to get used to it and it would avoid a possible bad confrontation by surprising them with it when they arrive.

As a daughter of a very conservative and strict mother....I get where you are comin from. I was once in the spot to tell my mom that I'd become pregnant out of wedlock while going thru a very messy divorce. ...catholic background & she was against divorce and I already had 3 kids...ouch. Years later, I'm going to answer you from the mom angle.......be honest...just tell them the truth. My girls have come to me with truths that ...oh..I wish were not true ...they were and we dealt. I did the same to my parents . Oh you might not like their original reaction...let them be..they will come around. they just want whats best for you. It'll all work out....they'll appreciate your honesty. Maybe you should tell them ahead of time before putting them on the spot and surprising them.

I would definitely tell them ahead of time! It'd be quite the shock if they just showed up and were like, "Who is this guy? Where is your husband?" So they should definitely be prepared before they get there! As for how to break the news to them, I'd do it bit by bit. Maybe first start discussing with them the problems in your marriage that led to the decision to get a divorce. Then once they've absorbed that information, break the news that you and your husband are separated and are getting a divorce. Then later explain that you've met somebody else and explain that you are in the middle of a divorce and you aren't ready for a major long-term commitment right now, but do explain why this boyfriend is good for you right now. You may be with him in the future, you may not. You've got too much going on in the present right now to really worry about that, but for the time being he's what you need right now. Let your parents know that this new guy is important to you and that you want your parents to accept him.

The only way to make this the least uncomfortable is to tell them ahead of time. I know this may be hard, but at the same time they have to realize this your life and your future. You have to do whats best for you, but still respect your parents. Once you tell them, they will have to time to think it through and it will settle in. Waiting to tell them when they arrive or not telling them at all could make matters worst, and very uncomfortable. Only you know what makes you happy and whats in your heart. Good luck to you. Weigh all your options before making a decision.

Before they come over ,you have to tell them. Break it to them as gently as you can.It isn't fair to surprise them.

Honesty is the best policy. Regardless of what your parents think, it is your life. You may not be in an ideal situation right now, but I am sure that your parents would rather know what is happening in your life so that they can try to support you rather than not knowing and end up feeling horrible later on not only because you haven't told them, but also because they haven't been there for you. Tell them the truth before they are due to visit... as soon as possible would be the best. Don't hold back either; tell them everything, even the part where you haven't told them because you are afraid of how they would react. THis will help all of you accept th situation and move forward.

I think I'd tell them ahead of time, but honestly there really isn't a way to cover for bad choices. It could be more worth your while to reconsider some life choices and their effects, rather than simply trying to ask for ways to smooth over those effects. However, once a bad choice is made, it's best to get the dirty laundry out in the open. The longer it's hidden the worse the consequences are once it comes out.

Would you feel better is they found out by you or someone else? Honesty may hurt parents, our parents were not born yesterday. They know the world is changing. They may be more understanding then you think. It may actually hurt worse if they thought you could not tell them your feelings. Don't embarass them by not letting them know what they are walking into when they get to your house.

Well,it's a tuff question, I haven't married yet, but if that happens to me I would first let my parents know what I am going to do, and ask for their suggetion. But if they can't accpet my action I would take into deep consideration for a while and balance the results that would come to me. I might do not hesitate to take action to my thought as long as it really do good for me, in contarst, I might give up my crazy thought.
