Parents too involved?

Question

I'm so sick of getting in trouble with my parents. My ex wants me back and my parents hate him with good reason. He's the first person I ever loved though and its really hard to resist him even though he's done thiings that should make me hate him. We're on good terms though and thanks to myspace, my parents found a picture of us together last night. They just printed out the picture and blew it up and I found it on my bed. I dont even wanna face them today because they're gonna be mad. We're not even back together but they're probably gonna make me stop all contact with him or do something completely crazy because they know I still see him. What do i do!!!

Answer 1

I agree that your parents are way too involved, but you have to realize that they are the people who's been there for you since you were born. You have to give them some credit. They're only worried about you. What if something happens again? It's very hard to mend broken hearts, especially if that person is the first person you've ever loved.

But, honestly, they don't really have any right to force you to stop all contact with him. If you want to talk to him, it's your decision. All parents can do right now is give advice. It's your life. You should live it how you want to.

As for the picture thing, drill into their heads about the word "PRIVACY". I'd get real ticked if my parents did that.

Hope that helps ^^

Answer 2

well my bestfriend went through it too.

everyone hated him including me..

shes over with him though

they went out six times untill i told her she wasnt worth it,

now she found someone new and he is much better.

idk to be honest i would try to sneak the fact that you are having a boyfriend.

OR you can talk to your parents and talk to your ex and agree to start new.

I'm sure you don't realize this, but your parents are the good guys in this situation. They love you and don't want people in your life that treat you like garbage. They know you deserve better than what this guy has given you, and even if you won't stand up for yourself in regards to this guy, they are trying to. You will thank them for their support when you've moved on to another guy who treats you as well as you deserve to be treated. Trust me.

Answer 4

If he's done things in the past that should make you hate him and do make your parents hate him, then he's not worth your time. Your parents are right. I know its not what you want to hear but it's the truth. They're trying to get you to respect yourself enough to not put up with piece-of-sh*t guys like your ex. Hate to say it, but in this case, they know what's best for you.  

Answer 5

Your parents sound kinda odd printing out a picture and putting it on your bed to mess with your mind, that's not cool at all. They should just talk to you about this and not make you wonder what they're thinking. Just explain to them that you  and your ex are just friends and that you're not back together, and just keep it like that. He must have really did something bad for you parents to hate him and give you so much c**p about him. Find another dude!

Answer 6

Parents always feel the need to prevent their children from getting hurt. You cant avoid this. They might get angry but deep down they know that the more they keep pulling you away from him, the more you'll want him. Take it one step at a time, it'll blow over.... after 2 months...of nagging.
