Variety agony auntI'm not sure I understand - what would telling your stepdad do? Legally you are an adult and are able to make your own decisions. I think she is shocked - to her you a still her little girl and it is a big age difference. But if you love him that should not matter. Maybe you could try and have another talk with your Mum, and possibly introduce her to your boyfriend (do this on neutral territory like a restaurant where she won't want to make a scene if things don't go well).

laurie-loo agony auntmaybe your mum is just saying shes going to tell your stepdad to scare you into leaving your older man? if you really think it will cause problems and make him leave why would your mum do that? even though your 19 she will probably still see you as her little girl. you need to be firm with your mum though, explane your not a child anymore and its up to you to make your own descicions. your mum just doesnt want you getting involved with older men as she probably still sees you as a child and couldent bear you being hurt. i say go for it, yes it may upset your mum at first but you cant let her live your life for you. maybe you could take him around to meet your mum, im sure if hes a lovely genuine guy she will star coming to terms with things and once she gets to know him changing her mind. xxxx

DV1 agony auntIt's none of their business. You're 19, and a legally consenting adult. There's nothing that they can do.

candy00s agony auntYou are 19 and old enough to make your own decisions. If you and this guy are serious about each other then there is nothing they can do to stop you.

Why would your step dad leave when he finds out...??
