writes: Okay, so I'm an 18 year old college student who has always been attracted to older men. It was not really a problem, but now, I've started dating my professor. He's divorced, so it's not like he's cheating on his wife, and it's completely consensual. My issue is though, I'm still living with my parents, so I'm lying to them because I know they would not be too thrilled with this situation. He's 40. I just really want to know if I should tell me parents, and what way would seem the best, if that makes sense?It's gotten pretty serious, so I just don't really know what to do.

Anyhow, yes, you should tell your parents. Just introduce him to them like you would a guy your own age. They probably won't be happy about it at first, but over time I think they'll learn to be happy that you're happy (if that makes sense), and not care so much about his age.
