[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 23 year old is an adult and doesn’t have to get permission from anyone to get married. WTH!?[/quote] Are you from another country? I think you would have gotten more sympathetic responses if you had said, "Would you be happy if..." rather than, "Would you "let"..." It suggests that you don't understand the role of a parent in your stage of life. Perhaps your daughter wants to get married because you are too controlling. Wouldn't that be ironic? (My main concern is her partner's approach to money. He should not take on more debt. He should find a funded doctoral program OR work for a while to save money. Perhaps you could discuss that concern with her? Showing her how crushing debt would impede their lifestyle. BUT, don't come down against the guy or the marriage...because that will likely drive her away.)[/quote]
