[keys12]

my girlfriends parents want her to move far away. and i love her so much and im not prepared to lose her but i dont think a long distance relationship will work. is there any way to change her parents minds or what can i do?

How old are you, and what sort of distance are we talking about? Why do her parents get a say in where she moves to - doesn't she have a mind of her own?

16 umm they dont know where yet but they know its far and i dont know why they just wont listen to her

You won't want to hear this kid but let her go. The person you fall in love with at 16 is probably not who you'll end up with anyway. You can fight it all you want and you'll lose her anyway. There are so many other girls out there and you'll find another one you love just as much.

At 16 your girlfriend is still legally a child, and her parents don't have to listen to her; she has to do what she is told. If they decide to move, she has to move with them, and as a minor she has no say in the matter.

 

There is nothing you or your girlfriend can do to change her parents' minds, so you either suck it up as a long distance relationship or break up with her. If you want to maintain your relationship, you can communicate online via webcam and Skype etc, and hopefully could visit each other a couple of times a year, and maybe go to the same university when you're 18. But the long distance thing is extremely difficult, and most relationships at your age don't last anyway. Perhaps you're better off just letting this one go

Do you know how selfish you sound? Have you considered the reason why her parents are moving away? In this recession, maybe they found a job, or a location somewhere else where they can provide a better quality of life for their family. If you truly loved your gf, wouldn't you want that? Of course, they could be doing all that because they want to mess with your relationship... doubt it.
