nervous! what if they stop me?

I'm at uni and have been with my boyfriend a few weeks. and now it seems he wants me to meet his friends from home..next weekend. I really want to go, despite being absolutely terrified and nervous :redface:

But anyway, my main problem is my parents..I know I have to tell them, seeing as they'll be wondering why I'm not answering the phone next weekend :rolleyes:

But how can i break it to them..they'll try to stop me, because I'm their little girl :s-smilie:

They might be happy you have a 'serious' enough relationship with this guy that he wants to take you home...?

Tell them you're visiting a friend or something.

Just tell them that you're going to stay at your boyfriends! If you're at Uni, you're old enough and smart enough to know what's good for you, and as long as you trust your boyfriend - then there's nothing for your parents to worry about. Give them the number of the place where you're staying. Don't be scared - your parents would have been in the same position one day!

Your parents should accept you're a big girl now and get over it. I'm living in the same halls as my guy who I met here and we've slept over at each other's numerous times; even though I haven't explicitly told my parents this, I think they've guessed by now. When we went home for the holidays, I was allowed to stay over at his house, which was amazing! I never thought they'd agree to it, but they respected my request and it was great! I wasn't allowed to stay over at my ex's when we went out in sixth form, but I think that's reasonable.

If you are at uni with your boyfriend anyway, what can they expect to happen while you're at home with him that's any different to while you're at uni?

You're at uni. You're living on your own two feet. Its your life and you parents should have no barings over you relationships anymore. Its none of their business.

Well...surely you could just keep calling them on your mobile all weekend so they don't feel the need to call you on your uni room number? Or say that you've gone to stay with a friend for a project or something? :tongue:

TBH, there are bigger problems...it's not that big a deal if they do find out you're not in your uni town/whatever, just say you wanted to explore a new city?!

EDIT: Anyone else think this was going to be about going clubbing underage?

They probably don't want a relationship destroying your education. Students in relationships never seem to put in the effort or time to their studies.

... a bit of a generalisation. :rolleyes:

I have both a boyfriend and consistently good marks, and I work hard at uni. So that's completely unfair and generalistic. Why should any student forfeit a love life for their studies?

Yeah, seems a tad unfair! I think I sense a degree of bitterness about being single...maybe I'm wrong...

BS!...My sister had a boyfriend from the first term of uni until past the end and got a high first class!

I have the same problem because i haven't told my parents about any of the guys i've gone out with and my current bf (and as a result they think i'm gay lol) but you'll feel alot better once you've told them and seeing as you're at uni they were probably expecting it to happen at some point :smile:

nervous! what if they stop me?
