Question Posted Sunday February 27 2011, 12:23 am
Ok my bf is going off to school and we had plans to make it work and stay together then... his mom stepped in! She told him I was going to be a distraction from following his dreams and he didnt need a gf. We love each other so much and mean the world to each other we dont want to lose each other but hhe keeps listening to her over his heart and what he wants. I will be there supporting him and making his dreams come true but they keep putting stuff in his head and not letting him think for himself. Please help me IDK what to do and Im about to lose the only thing that makes me happy all around. We are perfect for each other minus her but I know she is his mom.

Do it with respect and tell her that you understand that a mother is only interested in whats best for their child. Then, explain how much you care for him and explain how much you care for eachother. Ask her why she feels the need to break the two of you up so badly. How does she know you will be a distraction when he hasn't even gone off to school yet? Why not let him go to school and make the decision for himself once he realizes it isn't or is too much to handle? That's the best way to go about things. Ask her these questions and communicate! Ultimatley though, it should be your boyfriends decision. At the end of the day he is an adult now and he's also YOUR boyfriend. Now you don't have the advantage in this though, because in the back of his head, he'll think about what his mom wants. That's where you can come in and prove to him that you're a good thing for him and he shouldn't let you go. Good luck! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
