writes: Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 years. We were probably the most original teen couple in my opinion. We've only had 2 small fight during our whole relationship , we used to see each other EVERY single day,we called each other 24/7, we celebrated everything together because he wasn't just my boyfriend, he was my best friend. We had a hidden relationship from my parents who didn't approve of me dating. so all this time they thought we were just close friends, even though we had sleepovers, traveled together and did everything together. Then around our 1 year 7month anniversary they found out we were dating, so they barely ever wanted me to see him or to even hang around with him because they said they lost all trust in me. it lasted 1 month bc i missed him too much, i begged, i apologized many many times but nothing worked. so i decided to leave them also because they were always fighting because of me so i was tired of suffering in tht house. I left to go to my boyfriends house, i only needed a couple of days away from my house. After 2 days they thought tht i left permanently like a runaway child but i never did, i just needed time. When they brought me home, they HATED my boyfriend, so i lied to them by telling them we had decided to just be friends no more dating, but still they hated him with everything, they said no more goin back to his house, i could only see him every 3-4 months. etc etc. I was so sad bc he meant the world to me. he was fine with it for about 2mnths then i broke up with him bc i thought he should find someone better, he begged to come back with me bc he loves me more than anything. then 2 mnth after tht, we broke up again bc it seemed like things werent gonna get better, our communication got so low because i had my phone taken away for months, and we got back together. Now ON our 2 year anniversary we broke up bc i want him to be happy and to find some1 who can show him everything he deserves because unfortunately its gonna take another year before i think my parents approve of me dating. he proved to me tht he was still in love with me so i promised to be best friends with him no matter what. he said he promised he would love me forever and he would keep that promise. recently we hung out yesterday(i practically had to beg for a day to hangout with him), he held my hand, he wanted to kiss me but he couldnt because my dad was around. and he gave me the best present ever even though we're broken up, so now i know tht me and him both still have STRONG feelings for each other. but am i doing the right thing by letting him go so tht he can find someone to make him happy than i could because my parents are too strict or what should i do? because with my parents being this strict and all.....i dont know if our relationship can work.

reader, anonymous, writes (21 June 2012): I'd wonder if you could perhaps arrange for him to meet your parents and for him to at least try to prove to them how much he loves you and cares for you and, hopefully, doesn't just want to get you into bed. Surely if they can see how genuine he seems, and hopefully also sees how much he means to you, then they may approve of the relationship and let you see him more.
Good luck!
