I have met the love of my life and I know that she is the person I’m going to marry one day. We met back in March, we were both engaged to men at the time. By June we were completely together, she moved in too. Now I know I am going to propose and I want to do so on her birthday, I know exactly what I want to do, or how I want to do it, it feels right for us, however, my family still haven’t accepted that I am no longer with my previous partner. They are still in contact with him and since the split, my father has been suicidal.

I want to propose but is now the right time? I don’t know if I’m being selfish, well at least that’s what my parents said when I split up from my ex. I don’t want to cause any more issues if they aren’t ready, what should I do?
