Parents disapprove of long distance relationship

20% Normal

So I've been with someone for over a year now, long distance. His parents hate me, and frequently tell him to cut me off. He hasn't, and they tell him he doesn't care about their feelings.
I do not really see ending the relationship as an option, but I also do not want him to ruin his relationship with his parents, since right now he's already been walking on eggshells for months.

    Like you said. It's not a relationship. There is no need to help.

      I do feel it is real. I meant that most people would just tell me that it isn't real and the simple solution would be to end it.

        Well best of luck. I hope it works out but it seems several factors are already aligned against it.

    I suggest end it, unless you plan to meet up.

      We do plan to meet up. But he does not own a passport, and his parents are keeping his SIN from him

        Ah. Well they can't keep it forever. If this matters that much to both of you, you will meet.

    I have been with my long distance boyfriend for six years in August now and we’ve seen each other a lot but it took a lot of convincing to actually see each other for the first time since we were only teens at the time of that happening. But, how old are you? If you’re fairly young I could see parents being skeptical but, his parents should be more Open to the idea. How far are you guys in distance? His parents are very rude if they just push his feelings aside. Has he tried talking to them?

      We are both 18, I'm in Canada and he's in Texas. And yes he has tried talking to them but they are not very open.

        i’d say, your an adult and you can have your own free will and his parents should not treat him the way they do. There’s worse distance, if you love someone you’ll prosper through the bad. I really hope they lighten up, and start to care how their son feels. Maybe reach out to his parents or have your parents talk with his?
