Will my parents ever accept my older boyfriend?

Question - (28 June 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 1 July 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So, Here's the thing. I'm 17 and I turn 18 in December, and I am talking to this 23 year old who's bday is in March. We are sexually active and everything is going great!

But, my parents dislike him because one night I went to go sneak out with him and when I got back I got caught. They asked me who I was with and at first I told a lie, But then I told them the truth and I told them we were sexually active.

My parents think that he only used me for sex because I'm younger. But even when I was punished I found a way to talk to him and he told me that he wanted to be with me and work everything out. He said it didn't matter how long it would take he was willing to wait to be with me. He hasn't hurt me and when I'm with him I'm very comfortable. Never been this open with anyone..

Should I stick around? Is the age difference a problem? Do you think my parents will accept him once they see that he has stuck around this whole time to be with me?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (1 July 2010):

In pretty much every other Western society, this would not even raise an eye-brow.

But in America, apparently you cannot possibly know how to safely have sex until the second you turn 18. Before that you are ignorant in the ways of physical love.

They will come around eventually. Once you are 18, they can't do a thing to stop you anyways. So it will be accept it, or lose a daughter.

It doesn't have as much to do with his age as it does your behavior. Trust your parents! They are only doing what they think is right for you.
