What do I do if my really hates my boyfriend?
My dad hates my boyfriend. At the end of the day I decided that I was happy with him and I was not going to let my dad affect that- surely my dad would want me to be happy rather than split with my boyfriend and be miserable? My boyfriend and I have now been together 3 years and are still going strong.
Ultimately it is your choice whether you really feel that your boyfriend is right for you and you want to stay with him, or whether you want to break up and do what your mum thinks is right. If you choose to stay with him then there is little your mum can do and she has to accept your decision. Maybe she will take the road my dad did and ignore him completely, slam doors when he is around etc. or maybe she will try and see that you are happy and let you get on with it. Either way, sit down with her and tell her that you really feel you have a future with your boyfriend and would like her to give him a chance. Tell her if she feels uncomfortable then you will not have him around the house when she is there, but you are still going to see him. Maybe ask her to explain her concersn too so you can try and prove them wrong? As long as she sees you being mature and sensible about it then she should just let you get on with seeing him.
It is your life so do what you want. Be respectful to your mom though and don't flaunt your boyfriend in her face. See him outside of the house as much as possible, keep to your curfew for coming in and don't give her any reason to dislike him and she may come round as, like I said, she should want you to be happy at the end of the day.
find out WHY she hates him it might help you change it or convince her :)
