How To Nicely Deal With Nosy Family Members

[Guest SquidMom]

Assure them that you have truly HEARD their concerns, and thought about it. If they keep hounding you, politely let them know that they may be hurting their relationship with you with their pestering. I always tell people that by speaking their peace they officially reserve the right to say "I told you so" later.

Good luck to both of you.

I had a professor of a relationships class say about the same thing for those giving the advice and worries: Say it once, then shut your mouth and let the other person make his own choice. "I told you so" might come later.
