Ugh, so sorry to hear what you are going through I definitely agree with what many of the others have said regarding not worrying about what everyone else will think. I've let my friends influence my decision before, only to realize that I should have just trusted myself. None of them are IN your relationship...only you and him really know how strong/weak your bond is and where it can go. Hopefully if your family and friends see you happy, that is all that will matter to them. Wishing you all the best!!
