Dear cupids,

I have recently went out on a limb with my parents and my bf. My bf used to have trust issues and until I talked to him about it things weren't going good. I usually ended up in tears. But after confronting him his trust issues were gone ( im not talking for two weeks its been about six months since then) and my parents are still unsure about him. How do I convince them he has changed? It is a bother not having them get along :/

So_Very_Confused agony auntdoes he spend time with them? perhaps having him to the house more to spend time with them will let them see he's changed?

Sweet-thing agony auntTime heals all wounds. So your b/f has gotten over his trust issues but your parents have not. It will take some time to win them back. Meanwhile you'd be wise not to vent on them everytime he pisses you off. Women have a tendency to use their mother's as a sounding board when things don't go right in their romantic relationships.It seems like the logical thing to do but it may only widen the gap you are trying to bridge. Parents can be very protective of their kids, and less forgiving when they feel they've been wronged, even in the slightest way. You will have to be patient and wait it out. Maybe they'll come around.
