If your parents didn't like your bf/gf...

I couldn't care less what my parents thought and I just don't get why people break up over this.

If my parents loved me, they would be behind me 100%. They wouldn't judge and butt into my life telling me to leave him. It isn't their decision. If he makes me happy, they should be happy too.

The only way I can see this actually being positive is if the guy is a real @sshole. Other than that, they should be happy for me, not against me. I hate parents who tell you to break up because they don't like your partner. What is it to them? You are the one dating them, not your parents. If you're happy, screw what your parents say.

Luckily, I don't have a problem because my parents are cool with my boyfriend ^_^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Your average person isn't dumb enough to be with someone who they know treats them like garbage. You spend your time with that person, not your parents. You know that person better than they do so how can they say anything really? Unless you come home crying and telling them about how you argue daily, I don't see how your parents could have any say in your relationship.

Not to say that there aren't people out there who don't leave the second they get treated like dirt but what can you do? Those people obviously either don't see the light or are too afraid to leave. A lot of them are stubborn and can be told 1000 times to leave but they love the person so much that they can't, no matter how bad they treat them. The thing is, now we are starting to get into abusive relationships. That is a whole other issue compared to what people here are talking about which seems to be your general "my parents hate my bf/gf just because..." sort of thing. In that respect, I think parents have no say. It's your life and the life you choose to live.

For me personally, I think there is a certain age where people just shouldn't have a GF/BF only because they are just too young. 13? Are you serious? Wow, for me that is young to be in a relationship. I was still being a kid skipping scholl, hanging out with my friends, going to parties, not thinking about a relationship. Meh, that's my opinion but I guess times are changing.

I might be a little old fashioned and my posts are more from personal experience but I was one of those people who didn't jump at the first guy that asked me out. I never had a boyfriend until I was 20 years old. I was more mature and found a person who is perfect for me. We get along great, we love the same things, we think the same way. He is older than I am and he has taught me alot. I am a hell of a lot smarter than I was before I met him and even smarter than I was a year ago. I've been with him for 4 years now and for a first relationship, not a lot of people can say that they have held on that long. In high school people seem to be getting a new love every year or two. I've seen a ton of my friends go through it time and time again.

Maybe my opinion is so different because I am thinking about relationships between people who are a little older than 13 where parents don't like the other person.

How ya doing, buddy?
