I need help....My parents are trying to split up my boyfriend and I. We have been dating for a year and a half and we are very happy together. I am 17 and he is 19. My parents think were too serious, but I don't see how that is true...we both focus on school and are honors students, we don't have sex, we love each other very much, and we are happy together. I believe he is the one for me, but my parents think I'm too young to understand love. They want me to date other people but I don't think I can do that, in fact I know I can't.

 

I need to find a way to tell my parents that I can make my own decisions, and I don't want them to take away the best person and best relationship in my life. My parents are very strict, and not very understanding. I would really appreciate some advice from someone who is familiar with these circumstances, even some encouraging words would be welcomed!

It sounds as if your parents are concerned that you may want to marry this guy.. I don't know if the topic has come up yet.. but if it has, they may be freaking out.

 

Your boyfriend is 19.. so he is either in college or getting ready to go... IF it's that he is getting ready to go, and it's to another state, then your parents may be concerned that you will giving up your "youth" so to speak to wait on your boyfriend...

 

Does your boyfriend come around your parents very often? IF he doesn't, this may be a good idea... so that your parents may feel a little easier that he is a good guy, and cares about whats best for you as well.

 

Good Luck

It seems that you are doing everything in a mature way. Maybe your parents think you are too young to be so serious with someone. In some ways that's true. When I was 14 I got with the guy I had been in love since I was like 13 :rolleyes: We were together for a long time, but then I regretted not enjoying my time when I was 16, 17, 18, you get me? However, if you like him stay with him. Do whatever makes you happy. You only live once might as well enjoy life and live it how you want to. It sounds like you are responsible and you know what you are doing.

 

Good Luck.
