Fear of a reaction

I'm 24, I'm a single mum to a 3 year old little boy.

I recently met someone new, after my previous marriage was quite abusive, I've found it hard to trust but this man, he gives me the world. He adores me and my son, and is thinking of speaking to his parents about us.

I am Muslim and we're both of the Indian culture. I am divorced & with a child at 24 this is hard for a family to accept. I know my worth & I understand he has to put his points across as to why he has chosen he wants to pursue things with me. However, I can't help but be frazzled with anxiety.

I've spoken to him about it and I really believe he's nervous too. I'm just not sure how I can handle my emotions right now. I've accepted that there's a high chance his parents my flat out tell him not to bother w this any longer and cut me off.

I suppose that just means, he isn't the one.

It's hurting me a lot & I don't know (if any) women of my culture my age / in my situation who have married someone who didn't have kids already..

It's hard.

Any words of advice or kind words?
