A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay, from the top...

My boyfriend and I broke up last month. Since then, I've met a guy and we've decided to start a relationship. I want to tell the world, but I don't know how to tell my Mum.

I know she is going to overreact, because only a few days ago, she was telling me to forget men altogether and get on with my life. Not only that, but my new b/f and I found each other online - we have actually met since, and spent whole days together - I know he is who he says he is. My Mum however, will not see it like that, because she doesn't think there are any genuine people on the Internet. She will freak out and then stop me seeing him. I'm 18, but I'm still living under her roof and she's the only family I have.

I don't think I could bear the silences, or the muttering under her breath, or the tension it would create between us.

I am thinking of keeping quiet about it until I leave home, but I won't be leaving home for another two years.

I'm stuck between Mum and my new guy- I don't want to jeopardise my relationship with either.

daniellexxxx agony aunti think you should sit your mum down and have a good chat tell her your growing up and that you can learn from your mistakes she mite listen but dont finish your relationship cause of your mum. If you bring your boy friend round and your mum mite like him then you will have nothing to worry about. On the other hand if she doesnt tell her how much you like him and your going to take it slow she mite understand just go for it good luck x

You're mum should be happy for you if youre happy! im hope everything goes okay for you x
