I've been dating a guy for a month. I really like him. His parents decided that we could only see eachother once every 2 weeks.....Today, was our day to hang out. We had it planned and cleared with his parents for a week now. Suddenly, this morning his parents changed their mind. He asked them when we could see eachother again, and they said they don't know. Idk what to do. I want to date him, and I really like him...ALOT. But i can't just sit around forever having no clue when I can see him again. In addition to that, he can only talk on the phone with his parents there, so he can call me, but I can't call him. So basically today, I sat around until 2pm, when he called and said he couldn't hang out. I cleared out my whole day, and made no plans, only to find out that I was just going to sit on my ass all day.

I guess I really don't know what to do. If I should just break up with him, or sit around waiting....help:what:

It's not his fault. In my opinion the parents are being way too strict. But don't break up with him....

Well like, he's 18. How the crap can they still have that much control over him?? I'm so frustrated. I hung up on him like 1hr ago, and he hasn't called me back. UGH.

Moan at his parents. Clearly, they don't want him to grow up..parents find that very hard..I honestly have no idea how they will react..

Why won't they let you see each other? Is there some reason?

Do they dislike you for any reason?

I think you should talk to your boyfriend and tell him that you need to see each other. Maybe set a time when you, him, and his parents can all talk about this at once. See what the issue is.

Why are his parents so protective if he is 18 years old?

I have no clue. His parents know of my ED, but idk why that would make a difference. I mean, do you think thats why they won't let him see me??

I doubt that is it. Next time you talk to him, ask him if you can see him and his parents to have a talk with them.

Age and ED issues aside, the real issue here is that there are decisions being made that concern you without your knowledge or consent.

I think you need to find out exactly what the concern there is, there's a reason why his parents not only nixed today's plans, but why they're restrciting your access to him in the first place.

You need more info here.

Talk to your boyfriend about what's going on, let him know how you feel, andI'm sure he feels the same way. After discussing that, ask him if he would find out why they're restricting him from seeing you so much. Or if he already knows, ask him to tell you. Don't break up with him just yet. I wanna update, and know how this turns out!

Ok, I just talked to him. He has exams this week and they wanted him to study. Haha. I didn't know that. Wow....Its all good. They want him to get his grades up so he can be qualified for a baseball tournament in April. Good.

See? Not a big deal.

I still think that they shouldn't be so controlling. Not allowed to call you unless they are in the room? He's 18 isn't he? Maybe they just want him to do well......

Well, will these "restrictions" still be in place after exams?
