My boyfriend is the most wonderful boy in the world. I love him, and he loves me, but my parents don't approve of him just because he's middle class and my family is lower-high class. They out and out told me that I should break up with him. Should I abide by my parents wishes, or should I continue to be with him?

No, but I did briefly see him changing once, and it LOOKED to be well-developed.

His social status never mattered to me before, and it doesn't matter to me now.

I'm 15 and 5 months, and my boyfriend is 16.

He plans to go to college, get a degree, and plans to go on to medical school. His parents are helping him to save up for it. If I was unclear about his family's financial statues, I apologize. His father is a successful attorney and they live comfortably. My family is somewhere in between that and being rich.

Because, tink19382, my damn parents think that the small differance between my boyfriend and me automatically makes me better than him.

your parents need to grow up. Would they rather you go out with some "high class" rich guy that treats you like dirt or your boyfriend who loves you, cares for you and makes you happy. Who cares what other people think, just stand up to your parents and tell them it's your life and you will choose who is a part of it. Money and status are only material things, they don't make you happy.

Can you live the middle-class lifestyle? Can you do without a lot of things that you take for granted now? Do you love him enough to give up having things "easy"? Do you want to work full-time for the rest of your life after you get married so you can pay the bills? Is he really as attractive as you think he is or has he become more attractive because your parents don't like him?
Life is hard in the middle class...they fall between the cracks. You earn to much money to get anything "free" but you don't make enough to ever get ahead.
Is your boyfriend ambitious? What does he want to do for a job? Is he planning to get a degree?
At this point in your life your parents probably actually know what is best for you. If you live at home and they are paying for all your expenses then you are under their authority and you should obey them.

Always a tough issue when parents don't approve of your relationship. First, you know they believe their are doing what they think is best for you. They are doing the best they can. So are you. Does the fact that they're older, have more experience with the world, and control the purse strings give them power and a corner on brains? They have the power since they control the purse strings, but they don't have a corner on brains. But it's really tough to match your experience of 15 years against their experience of 30 plus years. Look at your wisdom compared to a 10 year old. But are you talking about a permanent relationship or someone you want to date now? Tell your folks you're dating the guy, not marrying him. And ask them if there's a real reason for objecting? Do they know him?

properly, what are you able to do? the only element you're able to do at this factor is help her and stand by utilising her determination (emphasis on Stand by utilising). if it quite is not what you prefer, be trustworthy, and tell her that in case you're on "stand by utilising" which you relatively prefer to work out people. If she says confident, its a reliable thank you to end it the undemanding way. if she says that isn't what she needs, she does maximum possibly have lots going on together with her family individuals to only concentration on you. possibly she likes you, yet her family individuals does not, and she or he's making an attempt to handle them to make it extra convenient between the the two one among you. So, save an open suggestions, and pay attention her out. Its been 2 months, so, dont carry it against her. Mr. Rico Answering life's little questions.

Remember money only makes someone able to purchase things. It does not make them better or wealthier since wealth can be measured in a variety of ways including self satisfaction and love. If you are still underage and dependent on your parents then I am sorry to say you are stuck abiding by their shallow decisions until you are able to be out on your own. When you are on your own I hope you are able to look past a person's origin and see their potential. I see nothing wrong with your bf's origin and a lot right with his potential. Hopefully you are able to keep your relationship alive in a manner acceptable to your parents until you are both on your own. Good luck

That depends upon who you are dependent upon. If you live with, and rely on your parents for your livelihood, then you need to listen to them.
If you are able to live on you own and make all the decisions about what goes on, good or bad, in your life, then do as you want.
I'll bet that this is not about class ( what's the difference between middle and lower-high, anyway. How do they know how much income his family earns?)

What should matter to you is that he goes to school and wants the best for himself. He is not a self destructive person. Are you going to go to College? Is he going to College? I wish I knew how old you are. If you are of age, your parents should respect your right to date who ever you want as long as you are not hurting yourself with a relationship that is self destructive, abusive. IF you are underage assure them that time will take care of everything. Not to worry. You are going to date him until you two decide not to date anymore. Leave the word love out of it. You are both young and like each other and are having fun. Don't read anymore into it Mom and Dad!!

Is it because he's middle class and your family is lower-high class?
If he is the most wonderful boy in the world then of course not.

if you really love him then stay with him your parents can tell you who you can and cant be with unless you are under age. His social position shouldn't matter its whats inside that counts not how much money people have. Hope you get the advice you are looking for

I would not listen to your parents.. you can date who ever you wanted.. it doesn't matter which class they are.. So does your parents wanted you to date a guy who is low class.. and bump and be *** to you.. Ask your parents that.. to see what they say.. If most parents think the best for them but you make your decision to who you wanted to date.. and i do not think you wanted to date someone who is low class and who can't pay for they own food and guy who treat you bad... You wanted guy who treat you with respect.. You should talk to your parents about it.. and continue.. hey like education you start from being pre-school to high school to college.. that levels.. and that not class but still it thing to think about...
