Strict Parents Part2, On my last nerve Options

[dustin15brown]

Hey everyone, a while back I wrote a topic entitles "Strict Parents" having to deal with my girlfriends parents. I think she's the one, she thinks I'm the one. We want to eventually get married, but wait for a better time. Seeing as we're both going to be seniors in highschool we had a lot of time to decide things.... Well nothings changed.... I love her with al my heart and I'd attempt to do anything for her... The problem... her parents... They were extremly strict and only let me see her once a week during weekends and no late nights. Couldn't stay wit each other for prom and no week visits during school... Pretty bad huh? I thought so too... but it didn't matter, I knew what I wanted and I was determined to get it.... Now the climax... Her parents took a turn for the worse and came to this conclusion today for unknown reasons They're not letting her leave town AT ALL to see me, when we wanna be together it HAS to be at her house with her parents consent. No exceptions.... Even better I rolled my ankle pretty hardcore last night playing basketball so I can't really get outta bed much... I def can't drive the celi cuz it's a stick and i can't drive my parents vehicles cuz it's my right foot.... They didn't budge... Some kinda bs I know. We've got 1.5 yrs till we'll be totally free from the confinements of her parents rule... Please give some advice or tips. Say what you think, but especially if u have tips or things to do to keep us going strong and not letting them ruin what we have. Thanks everyone

Just hope they come to like you. Be yourself, but be mature. And understanding. Also remember, they this is there daughter, and if you love her, you love who she is, and they are greatly responsible for the way she turned out so far, so they must be doing something right.

In all honesty, I think its a better sign to see parents like that instead who totally don't care. While it is a pain, it means they care about their daughter, and want the best for her. It must be difficult, but if you guys truly are going to be together for a long time, then waiting a few years to really get to spend time together, while it might suck, is not the end of the world.

Try talking on the phone. They allow that? I only get to see my gf twice in the three months during the summer. Its tough, but not unbearable. And, because I only get to see her a little, it makes the time together much more special (plus I save $$$ by not eating out all the time at nice resteraunts.)

Its tough. Its not fair. It must suck. But, the best thing, in the long run, would be to go along with it. If you fight it, they will make it worse. If you are respectful, go along with their wishes, enjoy the time you do get to see with your lady, it will get better.

Good luck.
