So_Very_Confused agony auntI was once with a guy I loved and adored. He liked me. He still likes me over 20 years later. I so wanted to be with him... his reason for not wanting to be with me was that his parents would not accept my religion.

The truth was he was just not that into me. He used his parents being upset with his choice as a reason for not being with me but it was just a cover. It was really that he was not interested in me THAT way.

why would you want to be his dirty secret?

A reader, anonymous, writes (6 December 2012):

OP you're with a guy who has told you that you do not have a future with him. If his parents are so against you then why is he with you now? He's just using you OP until he finds another girl who his parents will allow him to marry.

He does not want to spend the rest of his life with you, it's nothing to do with his parents, he's going against their wishes by being your boyfriend so if he did want to be with you and get married he could go against them in that too but he won't because he doesn't see a future with you and he's not going to change his mind.

So you have two choices, stay with him and hope until he eventually dumps you, or dump him now and move on to a guy who you can have a future with.

Good luck.

Honeypie agony auntIf there is no future with his guy WHY keep him around?

Isn't he then just using you? Til something more parent appropriate comes along that they WILL accept?
