Today's Topic: Should you break up with the BF because of his parents?

Yesterday I got an email from "Anonymous" in Cypress and she was stuck in bind. She asked me:

"I've been with my boyfriend for 11 months and can't seem to get along with his parents. They just don't like me? It's like they think that their son should be with someone else. Like I'm not good enough for him. Should I break up with him because of his parents?"

Eeeeeeek, that is a tough one. Here's the deal, if you are considering ending your relationship with your man because his mom gives you dirty looks, that's lame! In the long run you're not dating his parents, you're dating him and the love you have for each other should be strong enough to surpass the negative energy you may be feeling from his folks. I'm not saying you should start making T-Shirts that say "Team Girlfriend" and "Team Parents", but try to look at the situation in a mature manner and really think about how much you love him. I would say talk to your significant other about how you feel and take baby steps in trying to build a great relationship with his mom and dad. I'm sure once they realize you ain't goin' anywhere, they will be more open minded to letting you into the family.

xoxo,
