If you’re asking “is this all there really is” then the relationship is in trouble. Long term relationships are a lot of work. I don’t believe in “meant to be” it implies that there is something out there that does not require work. That does not exist. Someone new comes with his own set of problems.
The differences in your family lives can be as big or little of a problem as you’re willing to make them. You can’t live your life trying to make someone else happy, whether it be your parents or spouse. If you and he have come to terms with how you’ll educate the children, live your day to day life etc, your respective families will just have to deal with it.
But how will YOU (and he) deal with it? Are these differences something you’re willing to compromise on?
In my opinion, except in cases of abuse, there’s never anything better out there, just something different. It all boils down to your priorities in a relationship.
