Answer #1

Why do they ‘Hate him with a passion’ ? - (their side)

Answer #2

well why do they hate him 1st off? and a yr thats kinda long so if u two really love eachother and get along great then try the living together. and if it doesnt work out and u want to go back home im sure ur parents would let u.

Answer #3

ok so like i realize that im younger then you but im in the same poshion except my boyfriends only a year older… what i did was just flat out tell my parents that its my life ill date who i want. theni told them that i want them appart of my life so i told them that i would make dinnier and that i invited my boyfriend over. i told them all they had to do was be nice and get to know him. i told them that his in my life and staying that they needed to get usto the fack cus its not changing…i hope my advice helps and all the best with you and your boyfriend
