Q: ok, so i am in a real rut...i have been dating my girlfriend for just over one and half years, we are from the same home town and are the same age, but only meet in college. throughout the entire relationship, my parents have had trouble accepting her. I love her with my entire self, but it is straining on our relationship to have my parents disapproval. it is very complicated because my parents refuse to acknowledge that we have anything valid to say or the reason to make a decision. we have both been terribly degraded by my parents. My parents are supportive in many ways, but not having them in this department is killing me and driving my girlfriend away from me. how can i help this? it is not one or the other for me, but it seems like my parents and even my gf are making it that way? i need to address this! thanks so much

A: First question – why don’t they like her? Have they liked your girlfriends in the past or are they always this way?

In any case, neither side should make you choose. That’s just not fair to you and will end up tearing everyone apart.

You should sit down with your parents and have a mature conversation about it. Don’t get defensive or argumentative or threatening; just talk it out and tell them how hard it is for you to not have their support on this one.

Let me know about my questions!

Love the Madness,
