Your parents are usually correct... if this guy has been working on you since you were 14 he is a perv. I would invite him to come over and then not be there. Let your Dad answer the door and introduce this fella to the business end of a Louisville Slugger! The only thing your 28 year-old will do is get you pregnant and then leave you.... Father Knows Best!

This is one battle you won't win. Sure, you are an adult now and can do what you like. But your father is never ever going to get over the fact that you were 14 when it all started, and your boyfriend 22. As you both get older, the difference in age will become less and less important, but I don't think there is a father alive on the face of the earth who wouldn't want to hurt a 22-year-old messing with his little 14-year-old girl. Yeah, yeah, you say nothing happened back then, but do you really think you'll get your dad to believe that?

My niece was in this situation with an older boyfriend. 8 years older...just like you. She married him when she was 17 and when she turned 22 and he was about 29, she caught him with a 16 year old. There is something wrong with a 22 year old man even giving the time of day to a 14 year old little girl. Your dad needs to do something because if he don't, you are going to end up with a man that is only attracted to little young girls and you are just going to keep getting older. Leave him and mark it as a 4 year mistake and tell your dad your sorry.

That's a tough one, Honey, since your father is right to be upset about someone that much older dating his 14 year old daughter. I know it may not seem like a big deal to you, but it goes against parenting instincts to support that kind of relationship. I don't think he would be so upset if you had just started dating at age 18, because by now you have matured enough to not be so easily influenced as you were at 14. I would certainly be worried about the character of a man who dated a 14 year old when he was 22. It is too easy to control young people... it would make me concerned about his intentions, not to mention his maturity.
Just so you know, I dated older men most of my life, but looking back on my relationships, the only decent relationships I ever had were with those that were closer to my age. The rest were control freaks who needed someone young and gullible who would put up with their nonsense. I think that may be what your dad is worried about.
I would honestly consider taking a year or 2 off from this relationship to be on your own and get to know your own mind without this older guy's influence. It will give your dad time to see you for who you are without this guy's influence as well. He needs to know that you are not being brainwashed by your boyfriend and are strong enough to stand on your own 2 feet. If nothing else, it will give your dad time to cool off and be able to communicate with you without so much stress between you.
If after a year or 2 you still want to be with this guy, then at least you will be a little older and wiser. Just be sure and stay in school, get trained in some useful skill and prove that you can earn your own money and save it wisely. That will take a whole world of worry off your father. He's just worried for you. Show him you're strong enough and smart enough to take care of yourself. And tell him that you appreciate his concern for you, even if you don't agree with his current methods. Parents don't get enough thank you's from their kids. It can be very helpful. Good Luck!
Just a note... I would have to agree with these previous responses in that guys who go for much younger girls tend to not be faithful. You won't stay young forever and you should seriously reconsider wasting the best years of your life with someone who is most likely going to leave you or cheat on you. And don't think for a second that he's the only guy.. You haven't had a chance to find out about all the great guys out there because you've been too blinded by this guy.
Also, your dad will only be there for a limited time and he cares for you unconditionally. Don't run away from that. And don't let your dad do something that will get himself in trouble just to protect you. Think smart, you'll have fewer regrets that way.

This guy is way too old for you. Other people besides your Dad can see this, even if you cannot.
However, if you are now 18 and want to go out on your own as an adult, then your Dad has no say. But that means that you will have to get your own place. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot stay at home and have a BF your parents dislike. If you want the BF, you have to get a job and support yourself. Is he worth it???

See since your boyrfriend is older, daddy probably sees him as sort of a threat to his territory and such like that. You know. . the whole dominance and authority thing. I say the situation sucks, but if you really love this guy, and daddy really loves you then that is something that ends must be met on. I know people who are 15 years apart in a happy relationship, so these people trying to discourage you, even though they make interesting points, if you know what you feel try not to let it get you down. Good luck :)

~If you want to live in house and eat his food, you are stuck with his rules. If you've got a guy who was interested in a 14 year old at age 22, what the heck is wrong with him. My vote is with dad. If Mr. Special is so wonderful, move in with him. Your choice - it's either dad or the pedophile.

the 1st couple of months with a newborn are somewhat annoying and the lack of sleep in no way enables. i'm particular he's truthful in being sorry, he probable is feeling only as annoyed and drained as you're and it reached a boiling element that nighttime. while our first 2 have been born, my husband and that i fought over who had to stand up each and all of the time and that i even locked myself interior the bathing room and cried because of the fact of all of the rigidity, you only would desire to get a trend set. I probable might have taken the feeding somewhat than having him to stand up contained in the direction of the nighttime while he had to artwork in some hours. on account which you at the instant are not working you ought to consistently sleep in somewhat and sleep while the infant is slumbering. If it somewhat is available you 2 ought to break the nighttime feedings into shifts, he ought to feed the infant until eventually perchance nighttime-ish and you flow to mattress at 8 or 9 so which you get some sleep in and then get up for the feedings after nighttime so he can get a minimum of seven hours of sleep in in the previous artwork. We did that and it helped us stay sane until eventually the youngsters slept by the nighttime. he's probable ashamed of how he acted and that's why he does not % to stand your mom. I comprehend which you adult males lived along with her yet certainly does she would desire to have a "communicate" with him? it is going to be something you adult males artwork out on your guy or woman, the further rigidity of dealing with your mom while he feels ashamed ought to be making him nervous.

Hats off to your Dad. Go Dad! Kick the ever lovin' crap out of that pedophile!
Girl, get your head together and date someone your own age or at least closer to it.
It's what you don't know that's wrong. You won't know until you're older and able to look back when you will say duh oh!
