How to keep my family's trust and my boyfriend?

Okay so lets take this from the top. Im 19 and female. about 3 years ago I met a guy ONLINE! yea yea I know, bad idea from the start. well guess what, I let myself fall in love with him. so like a lil highschool idiot listening to all my friends advice I told my parents. yea big mistake. “You dont know him! He could be 40 fat and a raper!” the usual spew. OKAY before everyone beats me up. I completely understand this part right here. parents protecting their daughter. anyways. this went on for about half a year. I told them it was over and I almost ended it, but I couldnt. I loved him too much and that love only grew. so they found out again and the last thing I heard was my mother telling me that he doesnt love me and that he will never be my boyfriend. after that I stopped listening and started planning how I would never tell her anything again considering how when I first told her I ask her not to tell my dad. and of course she did. Okay so now it sounds like I hate my parents. well I dont. strangely I still love them very much. but you see as time passed I still loved my boyfriend very much. and never let him go and also have managed to hide him from my parents every since I lied to them that it was over between us. so on my 19th birthday last year. He and I met. and I was smart I brought friends. and I would like to tell you, that I’ve done nothing but fall even deeper in love with him. and he is everything… everything to me. so here’s my problem. im 19 and will be 20 this year and my parents still treat me like im a kid. I have a j ob, a car, and I go to college. im trying to show them I am responsible and maybe one day they will start treating me like im an adult. this guy, I want to be with him. I’ve only been in his presence once. we talk constantly. I know everyone’s advice will be to just “talk” to my parents and work it out. my parents are the most difficult people to talk to. they are depressed all the time and take everything to offence. so with this knowledge. what do I do from here? how do I keep my family’s trust and keep my loving boyfriend? how do I stop hiding it?

Answer #1

he lives in the same state as me like 2plus or minus hours away.

thats an interesting story. thanks for telling me about that, gives me hope

oh and how did it finally happen? that they were accepted by their parents?

Answer #2

How far away does he live? I know of a family whose 17 year old daughter ran away to be with her internet boyfriend. He was covered in piercings and tattoos. She was a cutter. They hung out on suicide sites on the internet. He had been to visit once, and was run out of town by the father.

That was 8 years ago. Today they are both in Med school, married to each other, and the boyfriend is a very loved family member. It took a while to get to that point, but they are there.

Answer #3

Ok so you’re and adult and you should be able to make your own decisions about your love life your parents should see that your respnsible and have a lot going for you. If I was you (eventhough you said you can’t talk to them) sit them down and have them listen to you as if you were ana dult because you are and tell them that your not a child you are going to make your own decisions and you truely love this dude so hope I helped & Good Luck

Answer #4

well, if worse comes to worse.. tell your parents that this is totally new guy. just bring him over to your house to meet the parents and say you met him at a bookstore or something,lol. okay, that probably wasn’t the best advice..honestly I would just tell my parents to grow up and accept it, because nowadays people meet their husbands and wives online and it all works out. you’re an adult now, you can do whatever you want.

Answer #5

Thanks you guys.
tinatodder4 I’ve thought of doing that, and will probably end up doing that. unless I wait till my parents have lost their memory completely… which at this rate wont be long. livinmylif I completely agree with you. now if only it were that easy. sigh
