i'm 18, i mine myself (meaning i support myself financially) and i live with my father, i got a bf about 3 months ago, and i started sleeping out by him, my father does not appriciate that , which is understandable but, i don't see why not, now i live in the caribbean, so things an 18 yr old can do in the USA etc, we 18yr olds cant do down here, but i finish school and going back to get higher level ed, i don't see why i cant sleep out! And now he's not talkin to me.

Responsibility is a perspective. You are obviously more responsible than most 18 y/o's and your father should have no problem with the decisions you make. Geography should also make no difference. I know a girl who is 14 and more responsible than most 21 y/o's. Still, the law is very firm about what girls and women can do. Along with boys and men. Some of these laws you can avoid just by moving to a more understanding area. You are at home. Your dad makes the laws in the house. You have two choices. 1) Stay at home and follow his direction. 2) Move out and make your own way!

Are you sleeping with your boyfriend under your fathers roof? If he does not like it , then you need to respect that and not do it or move out. Is there something your boyfriend has done that your father does not like? You are living in the Caribbean, are you Hispanic? Hispanic culture especially fathers do not like the fact that you are sleeping with someone, although you are of age. It is a daddy thing. Just respect your father, he can not stop you from having sex, but you need to do it discretely. I know it is hard, luckily I had parents, and this was over 30 years ago that remembered what raging hormones can do, maybe you can tell your dad, I am using protection, there are a lot of unwed mothers in Puerto Rico, I know I lived there, maybe he does not want that to happen to you, he wants you to get an education and not be tied down with a child at a young age. As a dad he is looking out for your reputation and well being, it is a normal parental instinct.

Huh? You "mine" yourself? That's a new one. That DOES NOT MEAN you support yourself financially, but rather, oh skip it. Dear, GROW UP and MOVE OUT, and then your father won't know that you are sleeping with your boyfriend, or anything else that you do. While you are living UNDER his roof, then you must act accordingly as to HIS rules. Get it? Rhetorical.
