Question hi.i was hoping you could give me some advice.
you see i am 16 years old and my boyfriend is 15 soon to be 16. we have been dating for about three months now. and we really love each other a lot.
problem is that his parents don't like me. i know i haven't done anything to them personally to make them hate me. my boyfriend says that his mom called me spoiled. and that her and his younger brother(12) sit there and make fun of the way i look, act and just everything.
everytime i am at their house i am always really polite and nice. also more quiet than usual. i didn't want to give them the wrong impression of me.
but recently i found out apparently why they hate me.
my boyfriend said "because they cant accept the fact that i am growing up. they want me to be their little boy forever". also that i am taking him away from them.
i just get so annoyed and frustrated by them.
what do i do?
Answer Megan,
This happens a lot in relationships, especially in younger ones. His parents may need more time to really warm up to you.
I had a similar experience, my girlfriend's mother didn't like me, and her dad was iffy. After 5 or 6 months of dating her, her parents came around, starting being more polite, etc.
I'd try to keep being polite to them when you can, smile, say "hi" when you see them, "bye" when you leave. Give it some more time, and it'll get better.
