My girlfriend has a guilty concience

My girlfriend seems to feel bad about anything that she does that goes against her parents will. It’s not that she doesn’t want to do what her parents tell her she can’t do, it’s just that she always feels really guilty after she does it.

We both got invited to a party coming up of Friday and it’s an overnight party. Her mother wouldn’t be too happy to know that I would be going too. My girlfriend would keep it a secret that I was going but then she’d feel way too guilty.

I was wondering if there was anyway that I could make her feel better about it so we can still go and enjoy ourselves. Currently we both aren’t going to go because of it and because we don’t want to go alone.

Answer #1

It sounds a bit odd that she should feel so guitly at deceiving her parents. Surely if she felt that bad she wouldn’t do it in the first place. If her need to do what she wants outweighs her concern for her parents wishes then she needs to just bite the bullet and get on with it there is no good feeling bad about stuff she didnt have to do. If you are so worried about her then maybe take a look at your own actions, she could possibly be disobeying her parents for fear of upsetting you. If she really wants to go to the party then why don’t you have a night in with a couple of mates and let her go without having to lie to her parents, or maybe both of you not go and take her out somewhere instead.

Answer #2

well just tell her dont feel guilty because this isnt just some romance this is love and we should at all means be together so dont feel bad we doing this for love.
