Hi InACorner -- One thing I have felt concerned about as I read this thread and the one about wanting to get married to the bf, is how recently you disclosed being angry living with the bf's family. You disclosed your financial assistance, ways that your contributions appear to be disregarded, and that your bf had not always defended you as strongly as you might have wished.

Has all this been solved? It seems as if the story you are telling now is that everything is okay and that your bf is being idealized for "putting up with you"? Are you no longer financially contributing to the family? Are you no longer cleaning up after the irresponsible family members? Has a place been found in a closet for your things?

Can you give an update about what what has caused what appears to me -- as someone very much on the outside looking in, knowing only what you disclose here -- what has caused the shift from I'm-very-angry to I-love-him-and-want-to-get-married.

I'm just a little off-balance by all this.
