They don't know, I want to tell them but don't know how. advice please!?

I'm one of those good girls. I don't drink, party, smoke...none of that! So it's very hard for me to find someone whos the same way. I always wanted to find a decent guy. I found one, thanks to a friend of mine. He's just amazing! He's very sweet, and most importantly makes me very happy. The only problem is the distance. He lives an hour away (which isn't that bad, it could be worse) We still hang out every weekend (so far) but he wants me to tell my parents that he doesn't live here. They just pretty much assumed that he did. I want to tell them as well but Im worried about how they will take it. His parents are really against it so I'm worried mine will be too. HIs parents are getting better with it though. I know Im 21 and he's 22 and we shouldn't worry about getting our parents approval but it does help! I know we should do what makes us happy and not worry about it but I sill do for some reason. He's not worried about it at all. He's fine with it and is happy with me.They don't know, I want to tell them but don't know how. advice please!?
If your parents thinks that your happy with distance shouldn't bother you or your parents. Its you who is gonna love him not them and spend most time with him. I don't see whats the problem with the distance, are they gonna date your boyfriend and drive to your boyfriend's place for an hour?They don't know, I want to tell them but don't know how. advice please!?
tell her parentss...and see how they react...even if they react negatively they'll get used to it like his parents did...


gudluck
Definitely tell them. Why would they be against that? Long distance relationships have the best test of fidelity and love! I wouldn't marry someone who I wasn't apart from for at least a little while to test their love for me.





My husband and I lived 2000 miles apart when we met. We survived it for over a year and then got married. We now have 3 beautiful children and are happy. :)





It is VERY sweet that you want your parents approval. What a good daughter you are!
Well you've been giving way too much on assumptions. You said or assumed that your parents pretty much assumed he lives nearby. And you're worried because you assume that your parents would have the same feelings with that of the parents of the guy with the distance issue.





On the other hand, you said that his parents are getting better with it, so why aren't you assuming that with your parents?





Anyway, just wait till an opportunity would present itself for you to have no other option but to tell your parents what they need to know, and I believe their approval won't just be on the distance issue alone. So, with that guy, try to enjoy each others' company lest you want your worries over one issue put a strain on that relationship with him.
why are HIS parents against your relationship? First off, they have no say because you are both 21 or over and if you are a ';GOOD GIRL'; they should be THRILLED!!!!! An hour distance away is NOT a big deal and THAT should NOT be a reason for HIS parents OR YOURS for that matter to not like the relationship..... Tell your parents and MAYBE they will let the guy sleep overnight rather then driving home every weekend day----maybe if HIS parents know their son will be doing less driving, they will accept YOUR relationship more---oh and of COURSE if the boyfriend DOES stay overnight---SEPARATE SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE.... this is the year 2007 and NOT 1950 anymore--hopefully your parents WILL realize that .. even if his did not.
