My girlfriend's parents hate my guts

[Saint Marcus]

My girlfriend's parents hate my guts. For various reasons, none of which I can really change.

Partly, because of who I am. Liberal left wing moderate Catholic. Exactly the oposite of Sarah's parents (Sarah herself is a lot more like me though, or else I wouldn't have dated her in the first place).

But mostly, her mom hacked into her 19-year-old daughter's e-mail without her knowledge (I'm not making this up), and read some of the stuff I wrote to Sarah about. Some of it was about how I felt about her parents actions. Sarah agrees with me on those things (or more specifically, I agree with her since she's the one who brings it up), but of course her mom thinks I'm the bad guy (eventhough she had no right to read her daughters private e-mails).

So they hate my guts. I'm not allowed to call her at home, nor come over. And although Sarah has often talked about leaving home, I don't think she will.

It's one ****ty situation, to say the least. I'd have ended things a long time ago because of the crap her parents put me (and us) through, but I care deeply for the girl. What should I do?

Report her parents to the police for hacking

[Sikander]

How old are you and Sarah?

[monolith94]

reminds me of my roomate. his girlfriend's parents don't like him because he has a tatoo (a mark of his rite of passage in his native American tribe) and... some other wicked stupid reason, I forget what.

[Saint Marcus]

oh yeah, also cause I have a tattoo.


she's 19, I'm 20. in other words, too old to be screwed over like this. I don't feel like I should put up with this at my age. I tought I left all that behind years ago. I guess not.

First tell me you're no older than 22ish, then I'll agree

Bullsh*t Bullsh*t Bullsh*t Bullsh*t

You're a man, and as I can tell a responsible one. They can't pull this without serious reason, like a drug habit, abuse etc. If they're simply scared you're going to take her away and perhaps change some of her ideological thinking, fight them

Like I said, you're a man. Her Dad is spent, her Mom is panicking of age - make your own terms to see her. I am assuming there still is some media left by which you can arrange to meet, or that you see each other at school?

[Stefu]

But they love your pancrea!

[statusperfect]

Her parents are ****ed-up. If they don't seem to care about the well-being of your girlfriend, only about themselves and their values.

[Ming]

Gee... a girls parents who don't think the guy she is dating is good enough for her... what a surprise

Just keep on trying... It gets better latter when you can call them IN LAWS!

[H Tower]

Maybe get dear old dad a birthday present, its too bad you missed christmas. You have to at least try and be civil with her parents, otherwise they lock her in the house for a couple months.


hey ming, how many boyfriends have you scared away already?

"My girlfriend's parents hate my guts"

Everyone's parents, except maybe your mother, hate you.

[Saint Marcus]

First tell me you're no older than 22ish, then I'll agree

I'm just one year and two months older than her.

You're a man

yes.

and as I can tell a responsible one.

far more than most my age.

They can't pull this without serious reason,
like a drug habit, abuse etc.

My record is pretty clean. I'm not a virgin though, obviously, and that's also something her parents don't quite like. (little do they know what I've been doing with their daughter )

If they're simply scared you're going to take her away and perhaps change some of her ideological thinking, fight them

That's probably the case. But how fight them?

Like I said, you're a man. Her Dad is spent, her Mom is panicking of age - make your own terms to see her. I am assuming there still is some media left by which you can arrange to meet, or that you see each other at school?

yeah, we can still see eachother. But not often, cause of all the crap.

Her parents are ****ed-up. If they don't seem to care about the well-being of your girlfriend, only about themselves and their values.

You know that, I know that, but they clearly don't.

Maybe get dear old dad a birthday present, its too bad you missed christmas. You have to at least try and be civil with her parents, otherwise they lock her in the house for a couple months.

I tried that for months. I either wasn't ass sucking enough by their standards, or they simply didn't care. I spend quite a bit on them...and got nothing out of it, obviously.

And now with my e-mails that her mom read, I doubt I can just patch this up by saying sorry and bringing flowers. (and I'm not sorry, she has no right invading on our privacy like that).

Everyone's parents, except maybe your mother, hate you.

no, they all like me. My friend's parents. My ex-gf's parents. Just not these two. Well, it's mainly her mom pulling all the crap.

I don't know you and I even hate your guts

J/K

[Lancer]

Tell her parents that you are pregnant and carrying her child. NO! That's not it. Tell her your parents are pregnant, and later when you've been together for awhile it'll turn out to be a false pregnancy! Hers! She's pregnant too.

Here's a joke for you...

When does a Porto Rican become a Spaniard?

When he marrys your daughter.

You too can become a Spaniard, even if you are not Porto Rican, get it?

[Saint Marcus]

I don't know you and I even hate your guts

I'd be scared if you didn't. I'm trying very hard to be disliked here.
