i'm dating this girl that i've been with for over a year now.. and things are soo perfect between us.. she's everything i've wanted and she says i'm everything she's wanted only thing is that our familys don't like us dating.. i'm 19 she is 20 my parents don't like it mainly bc my mother says i put her first above my family..?

i don't get that.. her parents don't like us together bc one night her monther let me stay at there house and my gf slept in the same bed with me and her mom saw us..

well that's what my gf says is the main reason.. i love my gf to death and we've known each other forever through our church.. we've always been close even before dating.. we'll be attending the same college next year as sophomores and she's getting an appartment so it will make things easier bc now things are kinda behind closed doors bc of her parents.. mainly mother..

but it hurts that our great relationship is behind closed doors to her family.. all my friends and hers know but don't tell her sisters or her parents out of respect for us..

how should we tell our familys that we love each other and we're happy together no matter what they think? without disrespecting them or saying there wrong?? we've tried everything it seems and nothing has worked..

sexi agony auntHi

Just do this together so that you can get through this. Just try speaking to your parents and they would soon come to terms with yourlls relationship. This may take some time so you should be prepared for alot of talking and compromising. Yourll need to have each others support in this as it could get tough but dont give up. Pray about the situation and things should be easier. Remember what Gid has put together no man can seperate!

Regard, mail me if you wanna talk (I kinda webt throght this)

Annalisa agony auntReligious families tend to frown upon relationships getting too intense before marriage. You might have to accept that until you are ready to marry, your family will expect you to just date.

If you are serious about her, talking to her parents will show you respect them. My father wasn't happy with me dating the man I love until he went to ask for my hand in marriage! Tell them you truely care about each other and that you want your respective families to be involved in this union. After all, if you were to marry, you would join each other's family, so your parents need to be happy about your relationship.

God bless you and good luck!
