I've been seeing this guy for a couple of weeks and I've managed to fall in love with him. Out parents know we're seeing each other but we've never introduced ourselves. My Ex has said some really untruthful and bad things about me after the breakup, because he cheated on me. Now I think that my new boyfriends parents might know and not aggree on us seeing each other. Is there anyways that I could prove these rumours wrong and gain their trust. He means a lot to me. Cheers.

Normal parents don't listen to kids' rumors, so I'd stop worrying about this unless you have evidence these are incredibly immature parents. They will trust you a lot more if they meet you and decide you are a positive influence on their son.

I would first say that you should talk to your BF and see what he says... you may be wrong in your assumptions. Also, to make sure that if you are right, that he is vouching for you, and can give you some insight as to how to win his parents over (after all, he knows them better than anyone else you are going to be able to talk to).
To be honest, its very hard to give advice on proving rumors wrong unless we know what the rumors are. You could try to address the rumors directly with his parents, but again, do so only if your bf thinks its a good idea.
What you should NOT do is talk trash about your ex - that will only serve to make you look bitter and defensive. You should certainly stand up for your self and deny any untruths if the subject comes up, and explain that he is lying about you, but don't go any further. Take the high road, show that you are classier than that, and perhaps his parents will be able to see that you are too classy to have done whatever the EX lied about.
Good luck.

The relationship is only a couple weeks. Will the relationship be stopped before it gets a chance to move ahead? Maybe your new bf will have to decide if he wants to continue and ask for a committment, exclusivity after some months have passed. It's still too early to tell such a thing.

Hey, why are you worried. This ex of yours just has sour grapes. If what he said is not true, then you have nothing to hide. Also, unless your boyfriend is some Ivy League teenager, he will know better than to listen to rumours from his parents. It's him you want to impress, so if you just be yourself, things wil be cool. I know everyone wants to impress the "in-laws", but if they're gonna judge you before meeting you based on a bunch of stories, do you really want to get to know them?

If your boyfriend truly loves yu, there should not be a problem. Even if there are rumours, when a person likes you, you have the security. His parents will ( i mean most probably) be ok with it too.

If you are both over the age of 18 years, then what they think doesn't legally matter anymore. If you mean that much to each other and it leads to marriage or long term relationship, they will in time come to accept you.

why don't you introduce yourself and try to get to know them. that way they will see you are trying to make an effort. and they can decide whether or not to like you then.

spread rumors your ex is gay
and then tell your current boyfriends parents, your ex spreaded those lies about you because he's gay and didnt know how to express himself...also he likes their son.
