Sorry this might be long.
Ok so im 17 years old and my boyfriend is 20 years old. I tried to tell my parents about him before and they didnt approve and told me to break up with him. I told my parents i broke up with him but we continued dating because we both had strong feeling for eachother. I have now become the longest relationship for him and the first person hes said 'i love you' too. I have tried to talk to my mom about having him come over to dinner so she could get to know him but she wasnt having that. My mom says its because hes 20 years old but i know it has something to do with her not trusting anything i do. Im 17 and still a virgin, never smoked anything, never had a drop of alcohol, and clean from drugs. She has no reason not to trust me so it really frustrates me that she doesnt trust me. So i kind of want to know if theres anything i can do to help her understand how i feel about him and how it hurts me to deny that i am dating him. And also if i can get her to understand that she can trust me. Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me. (link)

First off moms hardly ever trust the men their daughters are dating... Its not that she doesnt trust you she doesnt trust him because hes older than you. Have you tried talking to your dad about this? I think the only real advice I can give you is keep trying to talk to her about it. Tell her that you dont like being dishonest with her but that you love him and are going to stay with him and you would love for her to be apart of that. Before you do any of this though you need to make sure that you really love him and he loves you and that you two are going to be together for a while. if its real than push the matter on her to where she has to listen to you.
I hope all goes great or atleast better than it is now.
Amanda
