Question Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 10:23 pm
My parents keep bringing up my
ex boyfriend. I broke up with him because
he told me he liked another girl too.
Well, my parents keep asking about him.
I've told them numerous times NOT to bring
him up, and not to ask my about them.
I've told them what happened and everything
but my mom tells me I'm just being sensitive.
How do I get them to stop?
They won't listen to me!

Remind them about how a relationship should be based on trust and honesty, and if he wants to run with another while he has a girlfriend, then he isn't very trustworthy.
Remind them that you aren't being sensitive, you are protecting yourself from being used as a floor mat by a man.
