Well, I should start by saying I'm an 18 white British girl who grew up in a very middle class background.
Anyway, I have never had a boyfriend before and have been seeing this guy for about 5 months, I only see him on weekends because he lives in the rougher city area and I am in the country side (I should also point out in England countryside is 95% white while inner cities are more 40-50%). He's from the Caribbean originally and came to England a few years ago, so obviously, he is black. He loves me and his family love me too but my family is against whites and blacks being together, my Nana said people see a slut when they see me now.
Is it honestly so bad to see white and black people together? (link)

Absoloutly not!!! I honestly think that sometimes people get their heads stuck in the past and believe that thats how the world still is... My grandmother practicly lives in the fifties.... Im not sure how to help, but like you said your 18... Your technacly an adult now.... At least here in the US you are... I take it your close to your family so sit them down and talk to them about how you feel.... they should listen. And why would anyone see a slut??? Ok so your dating... So what? And why is it anyone else buisness what you do? Just because you walk down the street with a black man doesnt mean your anything horrible. I hope i helped because im only 12.... Just stay confident.

My boyfriend is away at college. I am a high school senior. We have dated for almost a year and a half.
He says he loves me. I'm sure he thinks he does.
Our relationship has changed. We see each other once a week, usually - he comes home every weekend to see his mommy, not me - and he makes no effort to call me during the week. If we Skype, its my suggestion. All of our conversations are superficial. We're just texting "I love you"'s back and forth maybe 5 times a day instead of actually saying something meaningful or sharing stories. I try, but get nothing back. I used to ask him what he was doing as a conversation topic but because it was never returned I felt as if I was prying and stopped. Now we don't talk about anything via text.
The college he's at is not THAT competitive at all. That said he has a 5-class workload plus two labs. He's pretty lazy and I don't think he's handling freshman year well. I know he's busy, but shouldn't he have/make time to give me a 15-minute call at least once a week? Is that too much to ask? Should I break up with him? (link)

I know it doesn't help much but it looks like you've annalyzed the situation pretty well.... It's up to you now. What do you think? Is he really worth it? What does your gut say? Is he worth stressing out? What about a guy you've been friends with since you were little? If you have a guy friend and hes perfectly single... You guys would know eachother well and it might work out better. Hope i helped!
