I know yay ...another post by me!;) I have a boyfriend and we've been dating 15 months now and we love each other to death. I have been struggling with my families acceptence of him though. They don't like him because he is older than me. He is 25 and I"m 18. I was 17 when we first started dating and he was 24. I don't know how to make them see his worth? He is the first christian man/guy I've meet that views the same opions as me and isn't out for sex at all. We both believe in waiting tell marriage. My boyfriend takes me to church every weekend, and we go to church activities some. I don't understand? He is polite to them and even runs errands for my family and takes me to work and school. He helps out where he can for us. He treats me respectively and loves me very much. He is what I would think all parents would want there daughter to date? But my father who isn't really there all the time is trying to make me choose him over boyfriend. My father has told me I"m not considered his daughter anymore when I didn't do things his way. he is always trying to pull us apart. My family is making my life missrable for dating a good christian man. I have bagged and pleaded with them many times to please hear me and they just shut me out more and more. My situations at home weren't to wonderful behand but this made it worse. I have considered tempoarly leaving my boyfriend for awhile to make my father and family happy but I can't do it. I can't leave him ....I love him too much. But I also love my family and don't want to hurt them . What should I do? This is hurting me more than ever , cause it's destoried mine and my fathers ....what little ..relationship we had. I just want to do the right thing? I've praied to god to help me figure out how I can fix it and what I should do and I keep getting mixed answers? I'm am to the point of trying to move out soon and in with him because the stress and pressure has become to much. Some any advise would be very appericated!:blush: :( Thank you.
