My22 y/o daughter studied in Hong Kong and meet a wonderful young man from China. He is now over in the US studing for his masters but he has little possiblity of ever becoming an American citizen. Do I have a right to tell my daughter this relationship does not have a future?

Why would you? If she is happy and an adult, she has to work things out. Love is love. Perhaps she will move to China. Things work out the way they will and you have to be supportive, even if things turn out for the worse. Right now seems like things are peachy and someone doesnt want to let go of the apron strings.

Of course you have the right, but you might just end up creating a romeo and juliet situation. You're probably better off helping her realize the unlikelihood of it working out by asking her opinion and listing sympathetically. For example, "how do you feel about him being all the way in Hong Kong?" or "It must be hard to keep things going with that much distance, do you think you'll be able to make it work?" Get her to talk about how unrealistic it is instead of telling her. She is probably already aware, but not willing to admit it.

If you're daughter is anything like I was at 22 y/o telling her your feelings about the relationship is likely to drive her to him. Having said that, I'm curious: is your distaste for the relationship about it having little or no chance of a future, or is it about where this man is from and its differences from your own culture? Even if prejudices do not exist in your mind, the odds are you will have to face that question or accusation.

My daughter had her first little "boyfriend" at 14. They have been allowed to bypass to the videos (with different little ones or with a confirm) and carry hands interior of very based dates. maximum human beings placed a reliable commencing age at relating to the 14-sixteen selection; that's as much as you, you be responsive to appropriate. i'm uncertain what you recommend by a "very youthful age". in my opinion, i does not be comfortable with intense "boyfriend" relationships earlier the little ones. maximum human beings misunderstood your question, by how, simply by fact maximum human beings have very short interest spans and make up their strategies on an answer after the 1st sentence or 2.

If they marry he can become a citizen. She is an adult now. You can give her your two cents, but that is all. It might make her rebellious if you try to be pushy so be very gentle.

If you're not careful, the next guy will be completely unacceptable.
