Boyfriend and I are very level headed but our families don't think so

Tagged as: Dating, Family<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (26 June 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 27 June 2011)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I are very much in love. We obviously are inseparable but our families don't see it that way. They see the two year age difference and not the wonderful relationship we have.

His family thinks I'm going to ,not purposely, not want to go to college. My family sees it vice versa. But what they don't understand is the fact that we do talk about things like this and my boyfriend and I are definitely planning on going to college.

What can we do to finally convince them that we aren't impulsive and blind? Circumstances lead them to believe we are. Please help us find a solution to this, as we try to stay together no matter the odds.

k_c100 agony auntWell all you can do is carry on the way you are and your actions will prove to them that you are not impulsive.

They will be thinking you might end up getting pregnant, getting married, not going to college etc - but if you dont do any of these and do the opposite, then that in itself proves them wrong.

You cant say anything to make them believe you, all you have to do is simply prove them wrong with your actions.

Hopefully your not already having sex, but if you are then getting birth control sorted will show responsiblity. Also refraining from doing anything stupid like getting engaged or running off and getting married will also help. Getting some college prospectuses and leaving them lying around in certain places so your families can see will also help.

But you cant say anything that will change their minds I'm afraid, parents are naturally overprotective and often teen romances can get out of control and the teens do silly things. So all you can do is be sensible and make sure you dont do anything stupid, then in time I'm sure your families will come round.

I hope this helps and good luck!
