ok, so you are saying that you would just like him to take more of an interest in you and the things you do, right? I can understand that. Have you asked him to be more involved? Do you talk with him about things that interest you? If you have tried and....no go.....well then you also have to realize that he might not come around to your satisfaction and things will just stay as they are. But I assume that you are happy with that since you are engaged...(at 16.........) if you are wanting things from this relationship that you are not getting...then perhaps it is time to get yours somewhere else. Do you know what I am saying? Surely he must respect you and your lifestyle if he is about to marry you, no? But that does not nessesarily mean that he is going to have the same interests as you....ever. You can lead a horse to water but ya cant make 'em drink......omg did I just say that??? I sound like my mom already!
well, freedbypeace, if you really love him you shouldn't care if he is a "hippie" or not. that's not love. and if you are so completely opposite of him, why are you with him in the first place? what do you see in him if he isn't what you want him to be? you cannot change people. they have to want the change for themselves.
Well, what a mature diatribe! I am sure this young lady could say that you would be the one who needs to "grow the fuck up" if she were so inclined.
MELLOW OUT! This is directed to mike and tor. You call her a cock sucking bitch just because you disagree with her about wanting to change her fiance (which I think it has been cleared up that that's not what she meant)? And you say she's not a true hippie, take a look at yourself (I take this back if you don't consider yourself a hippie). If you're gonna reply like that, I think you need some lessons in empathy. Be happy!
CHRIST! People need to learn to chill and think a little here! Peace, I'm sorry some people on here attack you like that... Jeez. But as for advice, to me it seemed a little odd that you're calling him your fianceƩ when you're only 16. Now I know I'm only 14, but I've had SO many friends go through this who are you age and I've watched it go by every single time... All I can really say is that if you guys are THAT different, and you can't accept the fact he's so different, or can he, maybe you guys just aren't right for each other. Would probably be best to either end it, but maybe stay friends?... Let's face it, couples need to have *SOMETHING* in commen or else it just wont work. Talk to him, look him in the eyes, and you'll find your answer. At least this is what my friends would have told me. I hope you figure this all out... And that it all works out smoothly for you both.
Does he Love you? Are you in Love with him? dont try to make him someone he's not.... maybe he wont mind doing things like going to gatherings, dancing in drum circles, listening to music, tye-dying clothes together, going on nature walks.... but if you truely Love eachother, thats alll you need...and if your differences are to great to live together then... i guess , youd have to break up...
For some reason there's people who sound like they're from New York and they're just standing in our yard arguing... I think they were walking through it... hmm.. that's strange. Anywho... tahw....eht....kcuf.
Thanks for defending me everybody. Especially George. Willow thanks for your advice I really like that!
