my family doesn't like my boyfriend


Question Posted Monday January 3 2005, 6:46 pm

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! <333

This all depends on how old you are and if you're able to get an apartment with him. If you're still in school, or need to stay with your parents because you have no money, it's going to be harder. Lying to them too much will make it worse because they'll eventually find out somehow and freak out. But if you are really young, there is a chance that this isn't the boy for you. I used to fall in love with everyone I dated but I learned my lesson with that one. E-mail me @ Veganlicious@hellokitty.com if you want to talk more.

dude. You sould tell your mom how you feel. If you have already talked to her about your boyfiend, then you should jst simply put it to her that she is just going to have to put up with your boyfriend. She says that he is tying you down, whne ultimately, SHE is the one tying down our love. You shouldn't screw up your with your relationship with your mom, but you should be allowed to date any one you want.
