No it isn't right. It should be his choice on who he wants to be with. So what if the parents don't want that relationship it isn't them in it.

This really depends on the age of your boyfriend and your age.
If either of you are under 18? then yes. they have every right to say who you can and can not see. In fact is is the JOB to make sure that you don't get into somthing that may be bad for you.
Unfortunatly, most kids don't see it that way (I didn't). They just see mom & dad saying no to this "cool guy" that really "cares" for me and "makes me feel wanted".
Sweety. when you first start dating what guys want and what girls want is sooo different its not even funny (OK.. I guess this can go until you are 30).
Guys --- want sex.. any shape or form
Girl --- want a relationship
You mom and dad are looking out for your best interests (they were your age too and know what goes on).
so.. sit down with your folks at a time when NO ONE is angry and have them tell you what it is about your b/f they don't like. And tell them HONESLY what it is about him you do like. Then discuss it!!!! (yeah this works in real life - not just FootLoose).
You may find out why they feel that way - parents have their ears to the ground and may know things about him that you don't. At the same time... they need to hear from you what you feel his good qualities are.
All that said though.. the final decision is still theirs as long as you live in their home. So.. respect what they say it may feel bad now.. but chances are.. its for the best.
umm dang... I guess have him read this too.. lol.. I don't want to go back and change it all for him.. but this applies to both sides of the relationship.

There's no "wrong" reason for boyfriend/girlfriend relationships to break up. It's not the same as a marriage. Be thankful things ended the way they did, and didn't develop into something bigger and then become a vicious divorce!

That's an easy out for him. Sorry but probably he wants to break up and he's using his parents as an excuse. Just reply "Yes, you're probably right, my parents are against the relationship too".

Do you really want to be with someone who will be letting his parents make every choice for him throughout your relationship together? Move on. Thank God he did this now, not dragging you through years and years where every pivotal moment in your couplehood is invaded by them, the parents.

If your boyfriend is using his parents as an excuse to break-up with you, he hasn't ye matured enough to be in a lasting relationship. You're worth more than that. There is someone out there just for you ..............Keep looking and let someone else put up with what he's dishing out!

Would you want to be with someone who's parents hated you?
It sounds as if you are both young, but you really need to be more specific about why the parents don't "want that relationship".

Your ex-bf was either very young/immature or lacked a backbone. You're better off without him.

i dont think it should be the parents decision to decide whether or not he should date u. it how he's happy to be with u. and if thats the case, ur better off with out him.

It depends how old he is. If he has to live at home then yes he prolly has to do what his parents say.
