I am 23, just graduated college, she is 19 and has 2 years of college left and is going to school an hr away from me now. She lives 15 minutes from me right now... so if I go pick her up bring her back to my house then take her back home I drive an hour. If I drive an hr to see her at school, stay for the weekend and come back its the same as hanging out now for 2 days. Really I dont see the problem with her going away to school, she will get away from her strict parents (11PM curfew)
My parents think she is too young (based on age) yet she is Ukrainian and has had a much harder life than most of us and is more mature than a typical 19yr old, actuially wants to succeed in school and finish early.
I still live with my parents until I get a job or my business can support me. Her parents are strict so the only way we can spend any time together is at my house. When she goes away I can see her at her apt but my parents would know we were together. I want to stay with her.

Well it sounds like you are a grown man and your parents shouldn't be telling you what to do anymore - even if you are living with them. Do what makes you happy. Your parents don't have to agree with the choices you make, but it is nice when they approve. Your gf going an hour away for school is nothing, you should be happy she is so close. When I met my bf I was 20 and he was 25 - which is actually a perfect age difference, becuase girl mature faster. It's been 6 years and we are still very happy.

Obviously you must respect your parents thoughts but you also need to respect yourself and if you feel that this relationship is something you want and is workable then you need to explain that to them. Tell them that you have taken all of their objections into consideration but still feel that the relationship you have with this person is more than worth some inconvenience of travel and that you care for her deeply and don't want to give that up and that as time progresses you will keep all this in your mind for future decisions and you hope they respect you and your feelings as well in this regard. Tell them that after 6 months you can all sit down and discuss it again if need be. Good luck and God Bless.

your 23 you do what you feel best, most parents think that long distance relationships wont work driving an hour maynot seem far, might think about moving to where she is going to college,an working there.

You're over 18 and a grown man. If you're seeing her at her apt then there's no problem. You're parents will get over it in time.Good luck!

If you want to stay with her then so be it. Don't listen to your parents they DON'T always know whats best for. Listen to your heart!
