A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *tubbymcmini writes:

Ok.... so I'm sort of seeing someone, he lives quite far away.... nearly 200 miles, we've not met up since we've been seeing each other, but have met up more than once before (for group meets, for a shared hobby!). I will be seeing him in a fortnight at another group meet for a weekend, which I am extremely excited about, and I know he is too!

I only have one problem, which is holding in me back in wanting to commit to this relationship, he is 27 almost 28 and I am 21 almost 22, it is a problem for either of us, we simply don't care about the age, but I have a huge feeling my parents won't approve, and I don't know what to do!

Please help!

Laura1318 agony auntWhen you are 21, you are an adult by law and you can decide what you want. You will not live with your parents forever. Someday , you will have to leave them and live your own life and be independent.

Your life is yours to make. If they don't approve of this guy , there is nothing they can do about it.It is better if they approve and bless you two but sometimes, some parents don't see eye to eye with their children. There is the generation gap and they think their children don't know how to decide.

For me , the important thing is my children be happy. It is not me or my life but theirs. As parents we should just teach them and then let them decide for themselves.

It is your future,you have to decide for yourself. Anyway, you could be wrong in your perceptions . Some parent may offer token resistance but in the end they give way.

Pray for your parents and ask God to touch them .
