I love this guy I've been dating for a year now. Our parents let us be together, but make our lives miserable because we are together. We still are in love but he's letting the outside world that tells us not to be together get to him saying things like, "It doesn't make sense for the one thing that you love, to make you miserable also." How should I respond to this?
pockets answered Thursday January 25 2007, 7:02 pm: You should respond to it by questioning his feelings of "love" in the first place. Love isn't miserable. Love should be happiness no matter what kind of situation you're in. I wouldn't break it off with him over this since you've been dating for a year, that's a long time, but I would have a talk with him, see how things happen in a few weeks, and then make a decision.

Who is he to say such things to you if he loves you so? Sounds like a jerk to let everyone and everything else dictate his feelings for you.
Why should you put up with a guy talking to you like that, year of dating or not? You don't deserve to be told things like that. It just makes you feel like crap, doesn't it? [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
