What's the next best thing to a magical potion that cures all your problems? A firari! But, since we can't give you either of those, we're offering you the best advice on the web. When the going get's rough, you gotta keep tough and since that seems to be quite an issue these days (and since we've got enough toughness to go around), icy is the best place for advice!
Disclaimer: If you get stuffed in a trashcan, turned pink, or abducted by aliens, please don't blame us. We only give you advice, we don't force you to actually use it!
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME WHERE I GOT MY 'CELLPHONE PIC'. I MADE IT MYSELF IN A PROGRAM CALLED PAINT SHOP PRO AND NO, I WILL NOT MAKE ONE FOR YOU. I'M SORRY BUT I'M REALLY BUSY. PLEASE VISIT SURFSUNSANDX33 AND AMERICANGIRL101'S ADVICE COLUMNS. THEY BOTH GIVE REALLY GOOD ADVICE AND ARE MY FRIENDS. PEACE DUDES!
advice
my family doesn't like my boyfriend. we both have very different backgrounds, and he does a little work in which he gets paid under the table. they think that he will hold me back from going as far as i can in life, but i know that he won't...i won't let him. we love eachother very much, and he treats me like a queen. true, he lied to me once because he was afraid to tell me about the under the table paying, but we have gotten over that and we are closer than ever now. my mom really doesn't like him, she thinks that he is completely wrong for me, and that my getting serious with him will only hurt my future. i don't know how to show mom what he's really like, especially since she doesn't even want to try to get to know the sides of him that i know. it's really hard to love someone when your family is trying to get you to break up with him. what do i do? i am completely at my wits end now. we love eachother, but it seems like my family is trying to be a part of my relationship, our relationship is a line...me and him. my family relationship is some bigger shape, we are all connected, but the line and the bigger shape, so far, aren't. not until he proposes, which he is planning to do. HELP!!!! i don't know what to do!!!
I can imagine this is an awful feeling. Especially, since you are so sure he's your "prince charming", to have others put him down must really hurt. My advice to you is to have him come over to your house to spend dinner with your family. Let them get to know the side that you fell in love with. Have him explain to them that he wants you to succeed in life and make sure that anything your parents don't like about him, he tells them the opposite of. For example, if they think he is "holding you back" then have him tell your parents about how he has big hopes for you and wants you to go far in the world. That way, hopefully they will see the person that you fell in love with. Good Luck!
