LittleLoveCaster Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 So I have been seeing this guy for the past month. Yesterday, my parents sat me down and explained to me that they wanted me to stop seeing him. It's complicated, but they say its because he "is not good enough for me" and that I can do "so much better" because this man is a lot older than me, they don't like his lifestyle and they think he is using me. I don't agree. I am 20 years old and I live at home. They have not met the guy I'm seeing and nor do they want to. I really like him and want to keep seeing him, but I also don't want to disappoint my parents and upset my home life. How can I resolve this issue?
soccerrprp Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 How old are you? How old is he? Tell us more about him and what you've told your parents about him. Anyway, you are still living with your parents. Why would a guy want to date someone who still lives with her parents? Do you have a job? There could be a number of reasons why your parents feel that way. They are being protective.
ExpatInItaly Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 How old is your boyfriend? And what kind of lifestyle does he lead that concerns your parents? We need some more details to understand the issue
ses Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 As hard as it is, I would listen to their concerns. Parents are naturally overprotective of their children, especially with respect to their daughters. They may see something in him that you cannot due to your feelings. You need to sit down with your parents and calmly explain your perspective. Don't act defensive because it will only harden their resolve. Why do they find your boyfriend objectionable? You're an adult and can live your own life, but you still have to obey the rules of the household. 1
