Well, it you are at an appropriate age (15 and up in my opinion), and you are really interested in this guy... not physically please (remember...true love waits)... I encourage courtship... there's a book called "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris, and it's wonderful (it's about courting)... that way you and your parents can be involved and there won't be any secrets and the respect can still remain. Believe me if you are open and honest with your parents and help them understand that you want a healthy friendship with this young man, there shouldn't be a problem.  Best of luck...es

have you told your boyfriend how you feel? maybe yu should and see what he says, or see if he will ask his parents and sister what they think of you. there has got to be  a reason, unles they are just really protective over their son?But i would go, dont let his family stop you from being with him.it is his family, they will always be a part of his life. good luck whatever you decide to do :)

Sorry, honey, they are your parents. Obey them. It sucks, lots of things in life do, but there will always be rules set by those above you, and, sadly, you must follow them.\nNo one ever said life is fair.

I think a lot of people go through not being able to tell their parents about how they want to live. especially when their parents are really religious. I had a hard time telling them that I was dating my boyfriend, now husband. I can't even imagine how hard it would be for you.\nbut if you really want to live the way you want to live, than you have to tell them. if they love you, they will learn to understand and respect your lifestyle.\nit took my family about 6 months to talk to me again when they found out that I moved in with my boyfriend and I didn't want to belong to their church.\nhang in there, and your parents will come around.\ngood luck!

trust me. they are rejecting him for more then that. and IF this was the only reason..if you're underage you have to leave him b/c the bible says "honor your mother and father so your days will be long upon this earth".

They just want to be sure they are not going to be supporting you until your 30!  Do you have a job?  Are you still in school?  Collage?  Do you help around the house?  Do you contribute to the household expenses?  If you answered no to any of these then you probably are ungrateful for your parents and all they have done for you over the years and its about time for you to be on your own.

From my experience, coming home late or breaking curfew was a major way of testing my parents trust. Considering your ages, I am surpised that your parents are so restrictive. Ask yourself, what is this 'bad' that they think you're doing? Did your parents come from deeply religious families? Were your parents also restricted by their parents? What about her parents? It may not be fair, or make a whole lot of sense these days, but that could explain some of their methods. Do you or your girlfriend have troubled pasts, maybe trouble with the law? Did you ever have a truancy problem with school? Don't think that I am blaming their behavior on you, I just want you to think of all  possibile reasons. It almost sounds like you two live a bit far away from eachother, and that might explain why you're only allowed to see eachother twice a week, and talk on the phone for only half an hour a day. Have I nailed it yet? No? Okay, parents may not seem to make any sense some of the time, but they are your parents. Like it or not they have say into your relationships. The more you show respect for them and their wishes, usually the more trust they'll have for you. So if you're considering sneaking around after dark or anything like that, don't try it. Chances are you'll get caught, and just imagine how often you'd get to see her then? Probably not at all. I know this is a hard time for you both, you're almost legal adults, but until you turn the magic age of 18, you just have to bite down and endure this. You will get through this, just be patient with her and your parents. I am going to assume that talking with your parents wont make much of a difference, but there is nothing wrong with trying. Ask them what it is that they fear so much, and do your best to put that fear to rest. Assure them that you intend to follow their wishes, and do so when you're out with her. If they see that you're true to your word, the less likely they are to shorten the leash. I get the feeling that their fear is your sexual activity. It is my personal opinion that you two are at the ages when your sexuality is your business, however a parent will feel like your business is always their business. You can be 50 years old, and they'll still consider you their baby. Being that your sexuality is your business, I hope you wont mind if I give you a piece of advice: protect you and your girlfriend and use a condom every time. Anyway, you will get through this, I promise. Good luck.

That shouldnt be embarassing but if it is then make up a different excuse. Tell him you like him but you dont want a boyfriend right now or be honest and tell him you would but you cant because your parents dont approve. Whatever your more compfortable with, good luck!!

You don't. While it is admirable that you wish to honor your parents by doing their wishes, you need to lead your own life.  There no sence in getting into a relationship where you know you won't be happy.  It's time to break the cycle and make your own decisions.  I understand your parents would be disappointed and possibly disown you,and I mean no disrespect towards them, but,in my opinion your child's happiness should come first even if it means not marrying the person you feel they should.

I think you should talk to your parents and your boyfriend and remind them they both love YOU and out of respect for you, they need to act civil towards each other. Them fighting hurts you and only you.\n\nAs far as taking sides, make your own opinion about what's going on and stick to it. Maybe they'll start to see things your way.\n\nI know it can be very hard getting along with boy/girlfriend's parents, especially if one or both is convinced they are always right to the end of the earth. My boyfriend had to finally put his foot down and demand they be civil towards me. But at the same time, I also had to prove myself to them by working hard and showing I treated their son right.\n\nDon't take sides. Be your own leader and let them follow.

Sometimes it's a good idea to let your Boyfriend meet your parents before you actually go on a date with them (just to assure them that you'll be fine with him)\n\nNext, make sure you tell her about what you guys did, it'll help your parents trust you more if they know what you've done in the past and will be a little better at not holding you back.\n\nNext, don't date people your parent's wouldn't approve of.\n\nAnd if it all fails and your parents don't approve of your date, have your date come over to your house and hang out for a while under your parent's supervision. Most parent's would rather you be under their supervision rather than out there with another guy.

You know you and I are in the boat, but it's my mother who's in my way. I wish she could feel more secure, so I could have more freedom; especially the chance to go abroad. I think your father is the one who feels insecure, so he wants to be in your way. Maybe you can try to take him out with you when you're not going on a date. Hope my suggestion helps. Good luck and best wishes.

I'm sorry, but this isn't your choice.  It is their house and their rules.  You can ask them but you need to respect their decision.  If you don't like their answer then you and your boyfriend need to get a place of your own.
