<p>I had to break up with my girlfriend last night...my parents didn't like her and I couldn't do anything about it no matter how much I fought for her...I told her that we couldn't be together anymore and that we had to end it...she doesn't understand because it seemed like I didn't fight for us and that I didn't even talk to her about it or try to fix it...but I knew the pain would be worse for her later...I know I sound young...but I loved her and right now it hurts so much...I just had to type this up even though I know you guys don't care...I'm trying to forget about her but it's too hard..</p>
<p>Do you agree with their reasons for concern?</p>
<p>As cliche as it sounds, time will make everything better. Things can only get better for you. Good luck.</p>
<p>Awe sorry about that man. I know what you mean, my parents are really really strict about me being in a relationship and stuff like that too. Well, on the bright side, it could have been worse. You guys could've been dating for a very long time, then she would've gotten married with you, then she could've cheated on you, divorced you, and stolen all your money and then sleep with your best friend or something.</p>
<p>why don't you go listen to linkin park?</p>
<p>That sucks, man. But why is this in the UCLA forum?</p>
<p>Oh! Citan you are so insensitive. :( </p>
<p>Cheer up etti. It'll clear itself up eventually. In the meantime, try to not let it affect your midterms. :(</p>
<p>what the ****? how can you let people control your life like that? dont any of you people have minds of your own? obviously you agreed with your parents sentiments about her because if you love someone as MUCH as you CLAIM you dont let them go...</p>
<p>
<p>Did you really fight for her? I mean, did you put a knife to your throat and threated to kill yourself if they didn't consent? I doubt your parents would've been able cope with your love tragedy. :rolleyes:</p>
<p> [quote=etti] I know I sound young...but I loved her and right now it hurts so much.
</p>
<p>Love?! LOVE?! Please...You have no idea what love really is!

<p>uhh. no. there is the Confucian ideal of filial piety, loyalty to your parents, etc.</p>
<p>We don't know what his circumstances are, so don't just go spouting rebellion against the parents who have supported you up till now. </p>
<p>And, my sympathies etti.</p>

<p>I'm going to guess your family/friends are boring.</p>
<p>etti,</p>
<p>if you're in college now... what can your parents do to stop your relationship? I think you're old enough to make decisions for yourself.</p>
<p>so many internet n00bs on this forum</p>
<p>what can your parents do to stop a relationship? or really, anything they don't like? uh gee, let's think. stop paying tuition, make you come home more (or come visit you unexpectedly), enforce higher grade standards...
are you seriously saying college is supposed to be some bubble where parents can't enter? unless a student is financially independent, parents hold a lot of sway. and while it's not always fair, and seems like an infringement of the independence college is supposed to afford, parents often see things you don't. it is also possible that your parents are being complete jerks stepping all over your life, but generally, they have your best interest at heart.</p>
<p>Parents think they know what is best for you, sure. Are they always right? I'm saying that if you're in college, you should be old enough to make your own decision with your relationships.</p>
<p>I'm financially independent. But is it that hard to stay in school if your parents refuse to pay your tuition? Loans, fin aid, claim independence in taxes/fafsa. Though you may not live extravagantly, getting by should not be a problem.</p>
<p>If you've never even entertain the idea that you can make decisions on your own, then you'll always be your parents' baby. </p>
<p>I am not suggesting you go the extreme to rebel against your parents and never talking to them. You can hide your relationship with your gf or talk to your parents more about why you think dating this girl is a good idea.</p>
