A male United Kingdom age 26-29, *pitfyre writes:

Okay, so the situation is that me and my girlfriend have been a serious relationship for about six months. We live in different countries, but we have both talked about this and we are hopefully going to resolve that in the coming year. As of yesterday, her mother has decided that I am not allowed to speak to her, and that during my planned visit to see my girl in August, I am not welcome and she will not let me see her. My girlfriend and I are both absolutely distraught, and we don't know why she exploded like this. I understand that she doesn't want her daughter hurt, as her older sister went through something similar. But she really is the only girl I see myself with. Apparently the mother has been attending a new bible therapy group type thing, and some very extreme resolutions come out of the sessions. We are so worried. Please help...

So_Very_Confused agony auntStates as in United States? So you plan to go to a college near where she currently is? Because you still could be HOURS away from her just saying the states.

My husband and I lived in two different states that BORDERED each other and were still 2 hours apart. just saying.

so now that I know you have met and you are both over 18, what is her mother's precise objection?

generalities are that you keep plugging along till daughter moves out and is self-supporting or mom changes her mind.

getting her to change her mind is predicated on what her precise objections are.

So_Very_Confused agony auntHow old is your girlfriend? If she is under 18 you really have to just sit tight until she's 18 and can move out of her mother's grasp legally.

How old are you?

have you ever met?

spitfyre is verified as being by the original poster of the question

We are both 18, yes we have met. Her mother even used to say how good we both were. Particularly me, she really liked me.

Please don't just say we're too young, I hear it enough. I don't feel like I can actually function without her, she is my best friend in the world.

She lives in the states and I live in Scotland. And I don't mean move in together, but I am looking to transfer to a college nearby in the near future, so then distance won't be a problem you see.
