As I stated above I'm 19 years old and in college, away at college as a matter a fact. I'm attending Duke now and about to finish my first semester. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half now, on and off. We didn't try the long distance thing at first, but ended up going back to each other and were very happy and excited about spending time together during Thanksgiving break.
My parents are very traditional Hispanic parents and my boyfriend is Caucasian so it doesn't really help any there. My mother hates him because they've caught me lying to see him (like saying I was going to work, when I was really going to spend the day with him for his birthday). My father doesn't seem to hate him, just dislikes him because he's a boy and well "What do all guys want from girls?". So as a result of this, they make sure that I have to take one of my little sisters on dates with me. One of them is 9 and the other 17. Of course, I mind and he minds that this has to happen, but when I take my 17 year old sister we usually drop her off with a friend or her boyfriend so we can have some alone time. But, this Thanksgiving break that didn't go as planned and she had to stay with us through the entire date. We were both very frustrated and wanted to just spend some one on one time together after enduring the long distance, but that wasn't possible. He fought through it and granted me the promise of going to a quincenera with me and my family. I was so excited that they were finally going to be able to get to know him and see a good side of him. But, of course, my mom denied him the opportunity of coming and said that she didn't want me bringing any boyfriend to family events unless I'm going to marry them. When I told him this that was it for him. He couldn't handle being treated like this. Countless times he tried to tell me that the best thing to do was to leave my house and that I was welcome to stay with him and his family, but I have to think of my college education, which my parents are helping me with the very little that they can and the rest I'm paying with scholarships. My mother didn't even want me to leave Houston for college, but I went to Duke anyway, but that's another problem. So what should I do? My boyfriend is tired of dealing with my parents after a year and a half, but we love each other very much. I know that the distance may tear us apart, but I'd prefer that to happen in due time and not let my parents tear us apart. |

I deff. know how you feel here except it's a little bit of a diff situation.
I live with my father, who is also hispanic. He drives me nuts half the time. I wish I could move out half the time. But, then again I am only 16 and that wouldn't work out. Anyways, my problems with this is: I was/am never allowed to have guy friends or boyfriends. Earlier this year I got pregnant by my secret boyfriend(at the time). Holy sh*t I was terrified to tell my father. I had to have my mom and my grandma tell him for me. He was pretty mad but also really hurt and upset at the same time. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT - - I've already had my baby and my boyfriend isn't even allowed to stay the night with me to see/ help my with our baby. I think that's pretty stupid. Even when I was pregnant, I was not allowed to spend the night with him or vice versa. What more could've happened? LOL. Although, my dad and my bf get a long so I guess that's all that really matters now. Hispanic fathers/mothers are really protective and strict...and though I f***ing hate it..I'm really thankful that my father is like that because who knows what could've happened to me through the past..lol... |
