George Clooney’s on the defense again! Â The actor’s rep has come to his rescue by shooting down a fresh batch of rumors that he has proposed to his Italian model girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis. Â The engagement rumors took flight after Canalis was spotted with a ring on a very telling finger, according to Starpulse. Â Clooney’s rep said, “There’s nothing to comment on. She likes to wear rings. No more, no less.” Â Although Cupid previously reported that the couple were getting serious, they are apparently still just enjoying each other’s company – sans marriage.Is there a tactful way to get people to stop pressuring you about marriage?
Cupid’s Advice:
1. Point out the divorce rate: A great way to get your friends and family to lay off about the future of your relationship is to give them some valuable information – the divorce rate. Â With the statistic at a healthy 40 percent, point out that you’d rather be sure of what you want than end up in splitsville.
2. Remind them it’s your life: The bottom line is that the people you are close to only want what’s best for you. Â Tactfully remind them that you’re capable of making your own decisions … and mistakes. Â Let them know that you’re happy and that you’ll do what you feel is right for you.
3. Ask them if they trust you: When friends and family are pressuring you into marriage, you may feel like they don’t trust you to make the right choices for yourself. Â Let them know that their distrust is hurting you, and they may think again before forcing their views onto you.
