How can I get my parents to talk to my ex-boyfriend?

My ex boyfriend was going through hard times. He was desperate and depressed and did things without thinking. Now he’s sorry and he knows he lost me and wants me back. My parents don’t want me with him anymore. They think he is crazy and not good for me. He wants to apologize to them for everything and I let them know that but they won’t give him the chance. I want to be with him but I don’t want to disobey my parents either. I just wish they would let him apologize and talk to him. What he did to all of us was wrong and not expected but he said he wants to change, he needs me, he loves me, he wants to get better, etc. I told him he has to prove it to all of us that he’s changed. And that right now I need some space and so do my parents before they talk. I want to be with him only if he does really change and I see that change and that hes doing better. I just don’t want what happened, to happen again and again. I don’t know what to tell my parents. I’m scared. Some say to put myself first and take my time and space. Some say do what makes me happy. If I want to put up with that stuff he did again, then put up with it but I know my parents or no one would like that. I don’t know what to do. Any help or advice?

Answer #1

Do not ‘put up with it again’ - He MUST do whatever it takes to ‘prove’ a change - you deserve better and you know that (inside) and obviously your parents know that - they Love you and are looking after your best interests (you’re blessed)…I wish you every happiness !!

Answer #2

This boy is not going to change, he is not good for you or your family or your relationship with your family. I dont know what he did, but I have been in this EXACT same position. We tried again because he said he would change. And for the first couple of weeks it seemed like he had, he tried extra hard and made lots of promises. And then the problems returned. And trust me, they will for you. Your parents know what is best for you, whether you think they do or not, and you wont believe that until youre older but you will someday. You deserve someone who respects you and your family. Who treats you and your family with decency and can be a part of you rlife in a positive and constructive way. I know you think you love this guy and wont find anyone else, but you WILL YOU WILL YOU WILL I promise you. Get rid of this boy for your sake and your family, who are more important than any stupid ignorant, jerk boy. Good luck!
